Concrete Market Insights

The global concrete market size is projected to grow from USD 687.2 billion in 2021 to reach USD 821.6 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 6.0%. The global concrete market is driven by the growth of the construction industry and the growing investment in new construction projects across the globe.

The growing construction industry has evolved in recent years and has more complex needs. Concrete has also evolved to meet these varying needs and is now available in various forms based on the ratio of cement, sand, and aggregates that are used to produce the concrete. With the advent of reinforced concrete in the 19th century, the use of concrete in construction projects has skyrocketed. Concrete is made from a mixture of cement, sand, and aggregates at a ratio of 1:2:4. The aggregates that are used commonly are sand, gravel, or crushed stones. By changing the ratio they are mixed in changes the properties of the concrete. Concrete has multiple applications in the construction industry. It can be used in building dams, building bridges, laying pavements and roofs, and roadways, among other uses.

Rapid urbanization has contributed to the growing demand for residential and commercial complexes in most cities across the globe. As cities are growing, they need infrastructure to support the lifestyle and to ensure the smooth running of cities prompting governments to spend heavily on infrastructure development projects. Economic growth and rapid urbanization in developing nations are expected to increase the global concrete market value during the forecast period. With the passage of time, infrastructure has to be renovated and expanded to meet the growing demand. Governments are also spending heavily on infrastructure renovation as well as the development of new projects. In 2020, the UK government has proposed plans to invest 133 billion USD to upgrade the country’s existing infrastructure. With the planned construction of over 800,000 new houses, community facilities, roadways, and cycle lanes, there will be an increase in the demand for various types of concrete. The UK is not alone, other nations like Canada and Germany are already well into their long-term plans of infrastructure development.

Technological advancements are also expected to play an important part in the growth of the global concrete market. Smart concrete is being developed which can detect potential issues with the concrete before the failure occurs, such concrete can sense minute structural flaws in the concrete. Such concrete is expected to be important in cities that are prone to earthquakes and facilitate ease of building inspection to ensure the safety of its residents.

The global concrete market is restrained by the growing restrictions on free trade by developing and developed nations. The introduction of new tariffs and an increase in existing tariffs will limit the growth of the concrete market. The fluctuating prices of raw materials are also of major concern to cement manufacturers as the volatile nature can impact the revenue generated. The COVID-19 pandemic has also severely impacted the concrete market as construction projects and manufacturing plants had to be shut down across the globe. Disruption of supply chains has reduced the investment into the construction industry but with lockdowns and restrictions being eased, the global concrete market is also expected to bounce back during the forecast period.

Concrete Market: By Product

By changing the ratio of cement, sand, and aggregates, and the addition of other materials has resulted in a wide array of concrete products available in the market. The concrete market can be fragmented into ordinary concrete, reinforced concrete, ready-mix concrete, precast concrete, green concrete, aerated concrete, and others.

The reinforced concrete market is expected to hold the dominant share of the market. The wide range of applications of reinforced concrete has been the major contributor to the dominance of this segment. Reinforced concrete is reinforced with steel wires, rods, and more recently with fibers. The high tensile strength and ability to resist compression have been the major drivers of the demand for reinforced concrete. The ready-mix concrete segment is envisaged to log the fastest growth rates among all segments owing to the ease of use, more precise mixing of concrete, and relative confusion-free environment at the construction site as the mixing is done elsewhere.

Concrete Market: By Type

Based on the various types of concrete available, the concrete market can be segmented as concrete articles, tiles & flagstones, prefabricated structures, and panels, boards & blocks. The concrete articles segment is expected to clutch the lion’s share of the market. The prefabricated structures market is expected to register significantly higher growth rates than the other segments during the forecast period.

Concrete Market: By Application

Based on the applications of concrete, the concrete market can be segmented as residential and non-residential segments. The non-residential segment is expected to grasp the largest chunk of the global concrete market. The non-residential sector has always attracted heavy investments and is encompass a wide array of concrete applications, Growing government spending on infrastructure development and construction of commercial complexes are expected to contribute to the growth of the global concrete market. The non-residential segment is also predicted to grow faster than the residential segment during the forecast period.

asia pacific concrete market

Concrete Market: By Region

The concrete market can be categorized geographically as North America, Central & South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The APAC region is expected to hold the largest chunk of the global concrete market while also growing at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The APAC region has been undergoing rapid urbanization which has contributed to the growing demand for concrete in the region. Increased spending on infrastructure development in the region by governments, a growing number of vendors in the region, and increasing demand for energy-efficient building solutions are expected to be the major drivers of the concrete market in the APAC region.
