What is the Current
Potential of India Bricks and Blocks Market?
Clay
Brick, Fly Ash Brick, AAC block and concrete block industry forms the backbone
of the booming Indian construction sector. India is the second largest brick
manufacturer in the world after China. Indian brick industry is almost entirely
unorganized and characterized by the presence of large number of small scale
manufacturers which compete with one another at the regional level.
Bricks
and blocks industry in India has recorded considerable growth over
past few years, driven by the growth in infrastructure and construction
activities. Moreover, India’s rising population, increase in per capita income,
improved economic growth, industrialization and rapid urbanization has
augmented the growth prospects of blocks and bricks industry.
India
follows the traditional method of brick making and it is reported that India
has more than ~ registered clay brick kilns which satisfy the annual demand of
more than ~ billion bricks. India’s red clay brick industry uses conventional
firing techniques, a process which is highly labor intensive and has fuel
requirement, and is dominated by small scale brick kilns. As a result,
environmental concern has become a big issue as traditional method consumes fertile
soil (600 million tones of clay annually), consumes a lot of energy and emits
greenhouse gas which has led to the demand for green building materials.
Several
new eco-friendly substitutes of clay bricks such as fly-ash bricks, AAC blocks
and concrete blocks which are manufactured using 70-75% of fly ash (a waste
from coal based thermal plants) have gained a lot of traction in the Indian
market. AAC blocks are the recent entrants to the market and accounted for
around ~% of total brick and blocks market, with ~ manufacturing plants in the
country as of FY’2019.
India Bricks Market Segmentation
By Type of Bricks (Clay Brick, Fly Ash
Brick and Concrete Block): In India’s brick industry majorly three types
of bricks are available: clay brick fly ash brick, and concrete block. As of
FY’2019, clay brick was the most widely sold product category with
approximately ~% market share in terms of revenue followed by concrete block
(~%) and fly-ash bricks (~%). Clay brick had the highest market share as it is
being traditionally used since ages and is readily available in the market with
total of around 145,000 brick kilns across India as of FY’2019. Moreover,
people have low awareness about the new category of bricks such as Fly Ash
bricks and usually have been observed to opt for clay bricks in most
construction works.
By manufacturing process of clay Brick
(Zig-Zag, FCBTK, Others): Conversion from FCBTK, Clamp and others
techniques to Zig-Zag was observed in order to reduce coal consumption and air
pollution through government regulation. Hence, Zig-Zag technique accounted for
producing almost ~% of the clay bricks manufactured in the country annually in
terms of revenue, followed by FCBTK which had ~% market share in terms of
revenue in FY’2019.
By Concrete block type (Solid, Hollow,
CLC and RMC): Concrete block can be further segmented as solid, hollow, CLC and
RMC. Solid block is the market leader followed by hollow block with market
share of ~% and ~% respectively in terms of volume, as of FY’2019. Solid blocks
are commonly used to build load bearing walls due to its density and
compressive strength of 5 Newton/meter square which is much higher than other
types of concrete blocks. Whereas, hollow blocks were the second most preferred
concrete blocks in India with a market share of ~% in terms of volume. They
have better insulating properties, more durable, easier to install electrical
and plumbing fixtures. Hollows blocks are used as outer or inner walls in high
rise buildings to reduce the overall dead load of the building. CLC and RMC
occupied ~% and ~% of the market share in terms of volume, respectively in
FY’2019.
By application (Residential &
Non-Residential): Residential structures accounted for ~%
market share as compared to ~% by non-residential in terms of revenue in
FY’2019, when it comes to end usage of bricks in India. Clay bricks were
extensively used for construction of residential buildings whereas fly-ash
bricks, concrete blocks comparatively found higher acceptance for construction
of non-residential structures.
What Is The
Competition Scenario In The India
Bricks Market?
In
India, the brick industry is unorganized in nature and has very few large
organized players. These players basically operate in regional level within the
radius of 100-150 km due to threat
of breakage and higher freight cost. During
FY’2019, around ~ clay brick kiln and around ~ fly ash brick manufacturing
plants operating across India. In this market sales is more dependent on
the margin companies gives to the dealers rather than the advertisement and
marketing done by the company because the major sales depends on how dealers
convince the buyers of the products because in this segment customer is not
much aware about the products so they believe on dealers only.
In
case of industry or institutional buying, the tenders are issued by government
or private organization and bidding is done by the manufacturers and if direct
institutional buying is done from the company then middle man plays an
important role in finalizing the deal. Also, manufacturers keep close
connections with contractors, builders and architects for direct selling of the
products.
