  Expansion of the construction sector is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for cellular concrete is being driven by the expansion of the building industry. Cellular concrete is very beneficial for building partition walls in residential and commercial structures. In addition, cellular concrete's low density expedites construction and reduces the building's dead weight. It can also be used in infrastructure projects for geotechnical and backfill applications. The advantages of cellular concrete also include fire and termite resistance, which raises the utility of the material. The demand for cellular concrete is rising due to the material's advantageous traits, which include heat insulation, thermal insulation, and resistance to freezing.

Additionally, the world's population is expanding swiftly as a result of the rapid urbanization that is taking place, especially in developing nations. By 2050, there will be an increase from more than 7.5 billion people to about 9.5 billion. The rising population and urbanization in emerging nations considerably positively impact the demand for residential and commercial building complexes. For instance, the India Brand Equity Foundation projects that the country's real estate market will increase 1.72 billion USD in 2019 to 9.30 billion USD in 2040.

A type of cellular concrete called autoclaved aerated concrete is often used to create building components, including blocks, floor panels, and wall panels. It will be a tremendous chance for the players because there is a lot of demand for this specific type of cellular concrete. The industry is also anticipated to grow as a result of emerging trends, including green building certifications and rising demand for shock-absorbing concrete (SACON). As a result, it is anticipated that demand for cellular concrete will increase throughout the projection period due to the rising construction sector. Thus, driving the cellular concrete market revenue.

Cellular Concrete Market Segment Insights

Cellular Concrete Application Insights

The global cellular concrete market segmentation, based on application, includes building material, road sub-bases, concrete, roof insulation, and bridge abutment. The building material segment dominated the market, accounting for 36% of market revenue (0.32 Billion). The substance is employed in the building process in many applications, including screeds, soundproofing, thermal insulation, and the outer skins of multi-story residential and commercial structures. Dry foam concrete blocks have been popular in several non-load-bearing substructure applications for commercial and residential structures due to their low density and high strength, which places little vertical stress on the substructure.

Cellular Concrete End-User Insights

The global cellular concrete market segmentation, based on end-user, includes residential and non-residential. The non-residential category generated the most income (75.9%). Weight reduction The construction of public infrastructure is a priority for the governments of both developing and developed countries, which will increase the demand for cellular concrete globally. Along with other commercial constructions and infrastructure, such as hotels, industrial structures, schools, and hospitals, this concrete is used to create office buildings, retail stores, and dining establishments.
