In high-temperature industries such as steel, cement, and glass, refractory bricks are core materials for ensuring production. Many buyers are primarily concerned with price when purchasing. Refractory brick prices on the market range from several hundred to several thousand yuan per ton, a significant difference. Today, we’ll reveal the latest refractory brick price trends, breaking down the key factors behind the prices to help you avoid purchasing pitfalls.

Popular Refractory Brick Types and Reference Prices in 2025
Different types of refractory bricks have significantly different prices due to differences in raw materials and performance. Below are the latest reference prices for mainstream products on the market, covering commonly used industrial categories:
1. Basic Refractory Brick Prices
Basic refractory bricks are suitable for medium- and low-temperature applications, offering excellent value for money. Among them, ordinary clay refractory bricks are the cheapest, with a reference price of 500-800 yuan per ton; low-porosity clay bricks are slightly more expensive due to upgraded processing, at approximately 850-1000 yuan per ton. These products are widely used in small kiln linings and are the first choice for entry-level purchases.

2. Prices of Mid-to-High-End Refractory Bricks
Mid-to-high-end products focus on complex applications such as high-temperature and wear-resistant applications. High-alumina refractory bricks are graded according to alumina content, with a reference price of 1400 yuan/ton for 55% alumina and 2500 yuan/ton for 75% alumina.
High-alumina bricks with anti-spassing properties are priced at approximately 1350-1600 yuan/ton. Magnesia-carbon bricks, as a high-end category, can reach 4500 yuan/ton and are commonly used in critical processes such as steel smelting.
Three Core Factors Affecting Refractory Brick Prices
1. Raw Material Quality is Key
The prices of raw materials such as magnesite and bauxite directly affect costs. Increased prices of high-purity alumina and magnesia sand will drive up the prices of high-alumina bricks and magnesia-chrome bricks.

For example, a 10% increase in bauxite prices in 2024 led to an 8%-12% price increase for some high-alumina brick products.
2. Price Increase Due to Processing and Customization Needs
Standard refractory bricks have relatively stable prices, while custom-shaped refractory bricks, requiring custom mold design and production process adjustments, are 20%-50% more expensive than standard bricks.
Furthermore, zero-graphite environmentally friendly refractory bricks produced using green and environmentally friendly processes, complying with dual-carbon policies, are also slightly more expensive than traditional products.
3. Purchase Quantity and Service Affect Total Price
Large-volume purchases can enjoy factory-direct pricing, typically 10%-15% lower than retail prices. Meanwhile, procurement solutions including one-stop services such as technical guidance and kiln construction will increase the total price, but significantly reduce subsequent usage risks.
Avoiding Procurement Pitfalls: Balancing Price and Quality
Some buyers, solely pursuing low prices, easily fall into the “low price, low quality” trap. For example, clay bricks produced by some small workshops may be cheap, but their poor heat resistance can easily lead to premature kiln damage. It is recommended to prioritize qualified manufacturers to ensure products meet industry standards.
