Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products

NACE v2.1 Code: C23

About manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products

NACE code 23 covers the manufacture of a diverse range of non-metallic mineral products, including glass, ceramics, cement, and other construction materials. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing essential inputs for the construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors. Its products are used in a wide variety of applications, from building homes and offices to producing household items and industrial equipment.

Production process

The production techniques used in this industry vary depending on the specific product being manufactured. However, many processes share common steps, such as extraction and processing of raw materials, shaping or molding the products, and applying various finishing techniques. For example, the production of glass typically involves melting silica-based materials at high temperatures, while the manufacture of cement involves grinding and heating limestone and other minerals.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include a range of raw materials, such as sand, limestone, clay, and various minerals. Depending on the product, specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, kilns, and molding machines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production processes and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry encompass a wide range of non-metallic mineral products, including 23.1 Manufacture of glass and glass products, 23.2 Manufacture of refractory products, 23.3 Manufacture of clay building materials, 23.5 Manufacture of cement, lime and plaster, and 23.6 Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster. These products are then consumed by various other industries, such as 41 Construction, 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, and 27 Manufacture of electrical equipment.
