The rising global energy consumption is expected to drive the growth of the high temperature cement market in the coming years. The increase in energy consumption is driven by growing electricity demand resulting from rapid industrialization and digitalization in both emerging and developed economies. High temperature cement supports this growth by providing durable, heat-resistant materials essential for constructing boilers, furnaces, and reactors that operate under extreme temperatures in power generation facilities. For example, in January 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France based intergovernmental organization, global electricity demand increased by 2.2 percent in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting sustained expansion in power generation capacity across regions. Global electricity demand is also expected to rise at a faster pace over the next three years, growing by an average of 3.4 percent annually through 2026. Therefore, rising global energy consumption is driving the growth of the high temperature cement market.

Major companies in the high temperature cement market are developing technological advancements such as cement-bonded refractory castables to improve thermal efficiency, reduce furnace downtime, and enhance the durability and performance of materials in extreme industrial environments. Cement-bonded refractory castables are high-temperature-resistant materials composed of refractory aggregates and binders, typically calcium aluminate cement, forming durable, heat-stable linings for furnaces, kilns, and other thermal processing equipment. For example, in February 2025, Calderys, a France based provider of refractory solutions and services, introduced its expanded Fast Dry (CALDE FD) refractory solutions designed to optimize dry-out processes in industrial furnaces. The new cement-bonded castables allow operators in utilities, waste incineration, and aluminum production to achieve faster heat-up times, reducing furnace dry-out durations by up to 72 hours to reach 1,200°C while maintaining performance and compatibility with existing installation systems. By enhancing operational efficiency, minimizing downtime, and improving energy utilization, CALDE FD reinforces Calderys’ commitment to reliability, cost efficiency, and sustainability in high-temperature industrial applications.

In June 2025, Almatis, a Germany based producer of alumina-based materials, partnered with Çimsa to improve the development and supply of calcium aluminate cement for the aluminum and steel industries. Through this partnership, Almatis and Çimsa aim to advance the production of high-performance refractory materials for extreme heat applications, enhance the efficiency of high-temperature cement formulations, and ensure a stable global supply chain for refractory solutions. Çimsa is a Turkey based company specializing in alumina-based materials supporting high-temperature industrial processes.
