SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE MARKET DRIVERS:

• The growing residential construction sector

The growth in the construction industry is owing to the growing urbanization around the world and growing economic development in different parts of the world. A significant part of the development of construction goes for the building of houses, parks, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, schools, etc. for the population. The need in the construction is also needed for the development of megacities across the world. As the world is growing and getting urbanized, hence sustainable development depends increasingly on the growing infrastructure and construction activities.

The growth explains the dynamics of the industry. This increase in the demand for construction materials would not only increase employability in the manufacturing industry but also the overall demand for raw materials in the sector. The self-compacting concrete would be in demand by the industry for its high fluidity and construction of high-rise buildings. The application for self-compacting concrete is creating a smooth and dense surface in various structures like bridges, towers, pathways, pavements, and tunnels.

• Increasing infrastructure activities

Infrastructure projects like bridges, highways, dams, and tunnels can be developed using self-compacting concrete. Several ongoing and announced projects are outlined in the United States, for the robust development of the infrastructure. Such as a US$220 million project for the Howard Hanson Dam to help maintain flood risk management, increase municipal and industrial water supply to Tacoma Public Utility, a US$57.5 million for a reliable water supply facility for the 30,000 citizens in Montana, I-375 Reconnect Project in Detroit, Michigan, etc. Overall, there is US$461 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for over 60,000 projects in the United States.

The improvements in the present infrastructure and the making of new infrastructure needed raw material application and manpower demand. The use of self-compacting concrete can be used for complex and intricate shapes and structures, whereas conventional concrete could leave some gaps and weaken the structure. The self-compacting concrete adheres tightly to the structure and helps maintain stability.

• Reduces labor costs and eliminates the use of vibration or consolidation processes

The use of self-compacting concrete gives numerous advantages over other conventional cement concrete. The unique property of the self-compacting concrete is to flow and fill the empty spaces in the structures. Due to its properties, it reduces the labor and machine component inputs. This would increase productivity, along with the reduced time of construction by decreasing the placing time. The use of self-compacting concrete would reduce the site manpower at various stages of construction faster pumping requires fewer manpower hours, smooth surface obtained from self-compacting concrete needs less labor for finishing purposes. Further, they are utilized for sustainable development models.

In July 2023, Holcim's partnership with Populus for its low-carbon goals. The project are using ECOPact concrete, which offers about 30% lower CO2 emissions compared to standard concrete. Populus aims to reduce its carbon footprint by practicing derived from extensive research and scientific studies. For the project with 5,100 cubic yards used for the superstructure beams, slabs, and other components, ECOPact mixes will account for 65% of the total volume. The project would also utilize Holcim's DYNAMax high-strength, self-compacting mixes.

• Asia Pacific region to dominate the self-compacting concrete market during the forecast period.

The major countries in the region like India, China, Japan, Korea, and Australia, play a vital role in the rapid economic growth and industrialization in the region. Furthermore, countries of ASEAN, like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia, are having fast growth in the economy and increasing infrastructural development. The overall infrastructure development is taking place at a rapid pace owing to the projects like Belt and Road initiative by China.

India planned an investment of US$ 1.723 trillion in infrastructure between FY24 and FY30. This investment is for the development of power, roads, and developing industries like renewable energy and electric vehicles. In the aviation sector, the number of airports has reached 149, and Indian airlines have ordered more than a thousand new aircraft. Further, India has surpassed the number of billion-dollar real estate companies compared to China's real estate companies, according to the IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation). This development comes with India's logistics market which is estimated to be US$ 317.26 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 484.43 billion by 2029.
