Clay Brick & Product Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Wall to wall: Pressure from import penetration will likely lead manufacturers to close up shop, reducing wages and boosting profit

Over the past five years, clay product manufacturers have faced considerable declines. While the housing market has improved over most of the period, import penetration and the popularity of substitute products have limited industry growth. While the outbreak of COVID-19 led to considerable declines from metal manufacturers and energy producers, manufacturers enjoyed growth as the economy reopened and commodity prices surged, leading various downstream markets to expand their output and require manufacturers' products. Industry-wide revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 10.2% over the past five years and is expected to total $477.4 million in 2023, when revenue will likely dip an estimated 5.6% and profit will climb to 17.8%.
