Global Tundish Refractory Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Tundish Refractory market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,357 million in 2025 to US$ 1,783 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2026 to 2032.

Tundish refractory play a crucial role in steel smelting. It is mainly used to carry molten steel and withstand harsh environments such as extremely high temperatures, erosion of molten metal, and thermal shock during the smelting process. Tundish refractory include amorphous refractory materials and fixed refractory materials. Amorphous refractory materials generally exist in the form of particles, powders, etc., and can be constructed through casting, spraying, or vibration forming. These materials are more suitable for devices with complex shapes, so they are common in the use of intermediate packaging. Shaped refractory materials, such as refractory bricks, refractory blocks, etc., have a fixed shape and are easy to install, suitable for intermediate packages with regular structures. Although its flexibility is poor, shaped materials still occupy a certain market share in some standardized and high-temperature operating environments. In 2024, global Tundish Refractory production reached approximately 2139 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 625 per MT.

In 2024, the refractory materials industry will face enormous challenges, due to both the imbalance of market supply and demand, as well as the industry's own accumulated problems and drawbacks. In 2024, the steel industry will present a situation of high output, high cost, high export, low demand, low price, and low efficiency. The refractory materials industry is highly correlated with the steel industry, and the steel industry has a significant impact on the price transmission of the refractory materials industry. In addition, the joint restructuring and inefficient capacity exit mechanism in the refractory materials industry is not yet mature, and the supply-demand imbalance will exist for a long period of time.
