Clay Brick & Product Manufacturing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Brick by brick: The US dollar is anticipated to depreciate, which will likely cause exports to surge, pushing industry revenue up

Clay brick and product manufacturers produce clay bricks, ceramic tiles and refractory products principally used by the construction and manufacturing sectors. Over the past five years, clay producers faced a major challenge from the COVID-19 pandemic, when declining consumer spending and business sentiment reduced nonresidential construction and manufacturing output. Demand from residential markets was still strong, as low interest rates and government subsidization enabled lots of homebuying. Operators in this industry manufacture clay building material including bricks, mortars and ceramic tiles. Operators also manufacture clay and nonclay refractories, which are structures that retain their shape and chemical identity when subjected to high temperatures; these structures are ideal for use in kilns and furnaces. Major buyers of industry products include building markets, steel manufacturers and companies in the mineral refining sector. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
