global challenge for brick manufacturers
The global brick industry, a cornerstone of the construction world for centuries, stands at a crossroads as it navigates a rapidly changing landscape.
The next decade promises to be a pivotal one, filled with both challenges and opportunities.
The persistent rise in raw material and energy prices has been a major concern.
The escalating costs of clay, have also put a significant strain on manufacturers' profit margins.
Energy consumption is also a significant component of brick production, accounting for around 30% of the total manufacturing cost and has significantly impacted brick manufacturers' overheads.
