Market Overview:
The global tap hole clay market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The water-bearing tap hole clay segment is expected to dominate the market in terms of revenue share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as high porosity, permeability, and low thermal conductivity that make it suitable for use in smaller furnaces. The waterless tap hole clay segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR than the water-bearing tap hole clay segment during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Tap hole clay is used to form the outlet for the molten metal in a casting. It is important because it helps to ensure that the metal flows smoothly from the mold and does not create any obstructions.
Water-bearing Tap Hole Clay:
Water-bearing tap hole clay is a sedimentary rock formed from the erosion of soluble rocks such as limestone. The water-borne clays are mainly composed of hydrated calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate minerals. It can be easily differentiated from other types of clay by its physical characteristics, such as plasticity, shrinkage, specific gravity (1.42 to 1), and moisture content (4% to 7%).
Waterless Tap Hole Clay:
Waterless tap hole clay is a non-hardening, water-soluble polymer that sets quickly to make a permanent record of the flow rate. It can be used for multiple purposes including measuring flow rate in fire hydrant installations and determining the effectiveness of fire suppression systems.
The product also finds use as an insulator in high temperature piping systems and for making temporary records during process changes or repairs.
Application Insights:
The smaller furnace application segment dominated the global market in 2017, accounting for over 60.0% share of the total revenue. The segment is expected to witness significant growth owing to increasing demand from developing countries with low production costs and skilled labor availability.
Larger furnaces are projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 in terms of revenue on account of growing demand for high-quality products that can withstand extreme temperatures and corrosion resistance as well as provide efficient heat transfer properties across all seasons without maintenance or repairs required after years or decades due to wear & tear on equipment surfaces which is likely to drive product consumption over the forecast period 1/3rd into eternity 2/18th century 3rd generation (ETC) furnaces use less material than previous generations while providing improved efficiency.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of the regional market can be attributed to increasing demand for cast iron from various end-use industries, such as automotive and construction. In North America, U.S., represents more than 80% of the overall demand owing to its well-established steel industry coupled with growing domestic consumption for furnaces and other metal casting products.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization along with rising investments in infrastructure development by governments of emerging economies including China and India coupled with Australia & New Zealand (ANZ). These factors are anticipated to boost tap hole mining activities leading to an increase in production of global tap hole clay across Asia Pacific region over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from construction and automotive industries
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using clay for various applications
- Growing popularity of green building techniques that use natural materials like clay
- Technological advancements in manufacturing processes that make tap hole clay more accessible and affordable to consumers
- Government initiatives and subsidies to promote the use of tap hole clay in construction projects
