Market Share by Brick Type

Fly ash bricks, on the basis of brick type, account for a healthy share of the clay blocks market as they are lighter in weight and lower in cost than clay bricks. The raw materials for fly ash bricks are sourced from waste materials of thermal power plants that are generated during the combustion of coal. As a result, there is an extensive supply of low cost raw materials available to produce fly ash bricks, which are increasing their market share. Fly ash bricks are also higher load bearing, have greater compressive strength, and high tolerance for dimensional stability, further increasing their cost-effectiveness and suitability in construction applications.
