Governments globally launched initiatives to provide funds and subsidies to make housing affordable, especially for low-income families, which drove the demand for cement and concrete. These subsidies allowed customers to borrow money at low-interest rates to invest in new houses. The government of Australia, for example, provides a grant of $15,000 through the ‘First Home Owners Grant’ scheme for the purchase or construction of homes by first-time buyers. The Indian Government launched the “Housing for All by 2022” mission which provides grants for slum rehabilitation and construction of new houses. Such government initiatives encouraged people to construct new houses and drive growth in the housing market increasing the demand for cement in the historic period. During the forecast period, the shortages of coal supply were a major restraint on the cement manufacturing industry. Cement manufacturing is an energy-intensive process and a major portion of this energy comes from burning coal, especially in developing countries. Coal supply reduced globally during the historic period due to logistics issues and a decline in investments in coal extraction, negatively affecting the cement manufacturing industry. This increased the costs of coal, and also the production costs for cement manufacturers, restricting the growth of the cement and concrete market.

Mineral refers to an organic substance that is naturally occurring and has a specific chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical qualities with properties such as tenacity, cleavage, fracture, specific gravity, lustre, color, and hardness that are found in the Earth's crust and widely used in various areas such as heating for homes and offices, electricity, transportation fuel, and the production of plastics. The main types of minerals are cement and concrete products, glass and glass products, other non-metallic mineral products, clay products and refractories, and lime and gypsum products. Cement and concrete products refer to the products that are used in building houses. The various applications involved chemicals manufacturing, metallurgy, electrical grid infrastructure, electronics, glass products, vehicles, and other applications. These are used in construction, manufacturing, and other end-users. The mineral market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides mineral market statistics, including mineral industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a mineral market share, detailed mineral market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the mineral industry. This mineral market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global mineral market grew from $968.07 billion in 2022 to $1044.55 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The mineral market is expected to grow to $1378.46 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.2%. The imposition of high taxes on cement and concrete products limited the growth of the mineral products market. Mineral products such as cement, made from a different combination of minerals, are generally sold in high volumes at low prices, but heavy taxes imposed on cement and concrete products restrained the market’s growth. In July 2021, according to Cleartax, Cement will attract 28% GST resulting in increased costs for the infrastructure sector, The tax of limestone is at 5%. India's cement industry is the second-largest producer of cement after China. High taxes on cement negatively affected the mineral products market. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the mineral products market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Manufacturers depend heavily on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. The outbreak has hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the mineral products market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Advanced ceramics are cost-effective and are considered to be better alternatives to metals, plastics and glass because of their ability to offer better performance. Advanced Ceramics are identified by their high chemical purity and careful processing. It is used as thermal barrier coating in the hot part of engines, ceramic composite, thermal protection systems, engine components and even in sensors and antennas. For instance, advanced ceramics reached$10.41 Billion in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%, thus indicating an increase in the usage of advanced ceramics. GE Aviation’s $4.3 billion five-year investments, in US operations, were used for producing a new generation of jet engines, aircraft systems and engine components advanced ceramics.
