Unshaped refractory market prospects

For refractory practitioners, the market for regenerative bricks in recent years is not optimistic, and the depression in the steel market directly affects the development of refractory companies and market demand. In addition, the demand for refractory materials in the glass and cement industries is not as great as before. However, as the concept of low-carbon environmental protection has become the main theme of society, many areas are practicing low-carbon environmental protection, such as regenerative bricks and refractory materials. Many refractory materials that are polluting the environment are fading out of our lives. Green refractories have become the development trend and future of the refractory industry in 2016.

According to the refractory network, some refractory companies have lower profit margins, and the profit margin of some products is even only 1%, while the profits of some large refractory enterprises can reach 5%-10%. It reflects the market demand for refractory products under different technical contents. Some enterprises also indicated that some products are in a state of loss sales, mainly because some enterprises have large inventory, and they have to sell at a loss at the end of the year in order to clear the inventory. "Our industry is not something that you immediately snapped up when you lost money. It is no match for eggs in the supermarket." An unqualified refractory company salesperson said, "The eggs in the supermarket have been cut. A group of grandfathers line up to buy. However, the refractory materials are not good, the downstream market demand is not enough, the supply exceeds demand, and the product price is low and there is no purchase."

At present, the state encourages industrial products to conform to the development of the situation and actively carry out transformation and upgrading. For enterprises, how to reduce costs and expand profit margins is the most important issue for enterprises.

For the emerging refractory e-commerce, it is a new transformation business model. Looking for a refractory mesh is a trading platform for buyers and sellers of refractory materials, and is also a stage for the transformation of refractory manufacturers. In 2016, we will optimize and adjust the type structure from the overall improvement of quality stability and reliability, and significantly tighten the general level products, and strive to improve the share of excellent and efficient products, focus on the development of green high-tech refractory products, and vigorously develop It has its own unique composition of raw materials and corresponding functional refractory finished products.
