Expansion of the Ceramics Industry
Zirconium is an important ingredient in the ceramics sector, especially in the manufacture of tiles, sanitary ware, and tableware. Its characteristics improve the strength, whiteness, and beauty of ceramic products. The ceramics industry in India has been enhancing steadily, and this has led to the propelling demand for zirconium. Based on statistics from the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the ceramics and glassware industry recorded an upsurge of 20.32% in May 2021 over May 2019. This trend indicates the strong development of the ceramics sector in the nation. With the development of the industry, the demand for zirconium, which is needed to manufacture high-quality ceramic products, blossoms accordingly. The "Make in India" program has further strengthened the ceramics industry by promoting local manufacturing and investment. The policy push has resulted in new manufacturing facilities being set up and existing ones being upgraded, thus enhancing the capacity for the production of ceramic items. As a result, demand for zirconium has risen to cater to the raw material needs of these rising operations. Further, rapid urbanization and expansion in the real estate market have contributed to the augmentation of demand for sanitary ware and ceramic tiles. As more commercial and residential developments take place, the demand for zirconium-enriched ceramics rises, also propelling the Indian zirconium market further.
Growth of the Chemical Industry
Zirconium compounds find wide applications in the chemical industry as catalysts, pigments, and refractory materials. The expansion of India's chemical industry has largely contributed to the flourishing demand for zirconium. The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of the domestic chemical industry are expected to reflect a revenue increment of 20-24% in the FY 2023. This whopping progress reflects an upbeat chemical market, which correspondingly fuels the consumption of zirconium-based substances utilized in myriad chemical processes as well as goods. Also, the Indian overall chemical industry itself is expected to be valued at USD 304 Billion in 2025, expanding with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. This strong development path reflects the growing size of chemical production and the resultant boost in demand for zirconium compounds used as inputs in production processes. Government policies, like the "Make in India" campaign, have been instrumental in encouraging the development of the chemical industry. With a focus on local manufacturing and de-linking from imports, these policies have helped to bring about a supportive environment for the expansion of the chemical industry. Consequently, the demand for zirconium, used in many applications in the chemicals industry, has seen a significant elevation.
