Black bricks are a special category of bricks that is made up of red firing clay with the addition of optimal K37 black clay oxide pigment which dyes the brick with deep charcoal colour. The black K37 pigment is also known as ceramic oxide, black clay, or simply K37. Black brick is non-toxic, stable, and long lasting material that is used in different constructional activities where the infrastructure is required to give a unique look. Its low moisture content makes it suitable for fired ceramic purposes. The best thing about black brick is that they aren't so dark that they look as they have been painted. The intensity of the black colour and its shiny texture completely depends on the amount of K37 pigment added to it. Black bricks are given different designs to provide it a modern look that turns the head. It is extensively used in modern architecture for outer wall designs, bordering of pavements, for bordering purposes inside the buildings to impart classy finish, in parks, amusements, auditoriums, malls, and many others.
COVID-19 Scenario Analysis
The rise in the growth of modern architecture with a unique and eye-catchy look has increased the demand for the black bricks market since black brick is extensively used in the construction of modern architectural themes. Developed countries like the USA, Australia, Switzerland is looking for architectural transformations of their old buildings into modern ones which will thrive the growth of the black bricks market. Cities in middle-east countries like Dubai, which are constantly modifying their architectural designs to build superior tourist attraction places will increase the demand for the black bricks market. However, the hindrance in the supply of pigments during pandemic situations may hamper the growth of the black bricks market. In addition, the volatility in the price of fuels used for converting clay to finished bricks eventually leads price hike of black bricks which may restrain the market growth. Conversely, developing countries like India and China where the government is planning to develop parks and amusements based on modern architecture themes will create lucrative opportunities for the black brick market during the forecast period.
In May 2018, researchers of the International Society of Civil Engineering (ICE) come up with an idea of manufacturing bricks using black and red soil which will further reduce the amount of K37 pigment used in the manufacturing of black bricks, resulting in the overall price of black bricks to slash down. This will provide an opportunity for new market players to invest in the black bricks market leading to the expansion of the black bricks market in the coming future.
