Market Overview:
The global shale brick market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for shale bricks from residential and commercial buildings, globally. In terms of type, the global shale brick market is segmented into holes below 25%, holes 25%-40%, and holes above 40%. Among these, the hole below 25% segment is expected to dominate the global shale brick market during the forecast period owing to its low cost and easy installation process. In terms of application, the global shale brick market is divided into residential buildings, commercial buildings, and other applications.
Product Definition:
A shale brick is a type of brick that is made from shale, a type of sedimentary rock. Shale bricks are important because they are strong and durable, making them ideal for use in construction projects.
HolesBelow 25%:
HolesBelow 25% (HB25%) is a type of shale brick that has fewer than 25% clay content by weight. It is also known as minus bricks or low-clay bricks, and are produced in various sizes depending upon the application. The holes below 25% can be manufactured to have different shapes and sizes, which helps in easy installation compared to traditional clay tiles.
Holes 25%-40%:
Holes 25%-40% is a type of shale brick that has round or ovate shaped and is approximately 25% to 40% clay content by weight. The holes in the brick are caused due to the pressure of water during hydraulic fracturing process which creates fissures in shale beds. Holes 25%-40% can be used for making firebricks, roofing tiles, floor tiles and other construction materials as per requirement.
Application Insights:
The residential buildings segment accounted for the largest share of more than 50.0% in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Increasing urbanization across various regions, coupled with rising disposable income levels, has resulted in a high demand for housing units, which is anticipated to further fuel growth over the coming years.
Shale brick offers several benefits including low cost compared to traditional bricks and mortar; ease of installation; flexibility as they can be molded into desired shapes; durability as they are made from natural resources like shale and clay minerals; resistance against water & moisture due to which it finds application in construction of walls & roofs within houses or apartments. These factors are likely to propel its demand from residential buildings segment over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America is expected to be the largest regional market over the forecast period owing to increasing exploration and production activities in countries, such as U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The region accounted for a volume share of more than 60% in 2017 on account of rising oil & gas E&P activities across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East Africa.
The shale boom has transformed American cities into construction sites as companies race to put up new buildings or renovate old ones using these eco-friendly materials. In addition, growing awareness regarding energy conservation is likely to have a positive impact on industry growth over the coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Growing demand from the construction sector: The global construction industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period, owing to the increasing urbanization and infrastructure development across the world. This is expected to drive the demand for shale bricks in the coming years.
- Rising awareness about energy-efficient building materials: There is an increasing awareness among consumers about using energy-efficient building materials, which is driving the demand for shale bricks globally.
- Technological advancements in brick manufacturing process: The shale brick manufacturing process has undergone various technological advancements in recent years, resulting in improved quality and performance of these bricks. This is likely to boost their demand in near future.
