Cellular Concrete Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Density, by Type, by Application : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Cellular Concrete Market Research, 2031

The global cellular concrete market size was valued at $27.2 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $48.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2031. Cellular concrete is a type of lightweight concrete, consisting of portland cement, cement-silica, cement-pozzolan, lime-pozzolan, along with with gas-forming chemicals or foaming agents. Cellular concrete typically has a density ranging between 300 kg/cubic meter to 1800 kg/cubic meter.

The demand for cellular concrete has witnesses significant growth in the past few years, owing to growth of construction industry. Cellular concrete is especially suitable for construction of partition walls in residential and commercial buildings. Moreover, the low density of cellular concrete reduces the dead weight of the structure and also enhances the pace of construction. In addition, it can also be used for backfill and geotechnical applications in infrastructure projects. Cellular concrete also offers advantages such as fire resistance and termite resistance, thereby, increasing its serviceability. Furthermore, advantageous properties of cellular concrete such as heat insulation, thermal insulation and resistance to freezing are propelling the cellular concrete market growth.

The global population is rising at a rapid pace, along with a rapid urbanization across the world, especially in the developing nations. It is estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more than 9.5 billion people living in the world, compared to about 7.5 billion in 2021. The rising population and urbanization are playing a crucial role in driving demand for residential as well as commercial building complexes in emerging economies. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian real estate market is expected to grow from US$ 1.72 billion in 2019 to US$ 9.30 billion in 2040. Autoclaved aerated concrete, which is a type of cellular concrete is extensively used for fabricating building components such as blocks, floor panels and wall panels. Thus, the growth of real estate industry, fuels the demand for cellular concrete industry.

In addition, major manufacturers of cellular concrete are offering a wide range of building components in various sizes and densities, thereby, increasing the usability of cellular concrete. For instance, AERCON AAC has a large portfolio of autoclaved aerated concrete components such as blocks, lintels, wall panels, roof panels and floor panels. And Litebuilt, offers aerated concrete in densities ranging from 300 kg/cubic meter to 1600 kg/cubic meter, for applications in pavements, roof insulation and back filling. Also, Litebuilt, uses advanced steam and air curing methods, that enhance the life span of its aerated concrete products.

COVID-19 had spread rapidly across various countries and regions, causing an enormous impact on the lives of people and the overall community. It began as a human health condition and later became a significant threat to global trade, economy, and finance. The COVID-19 pandemic halted the production of cellular concrete building components due to lockdown. The economic slowdown initially resulted in reduced construction of residential and non-residential building buildings. However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of COVID-19 pandemic has reduced significantly. As of mid-2022 the number of COVID-19 cases have diminished significantly. This has led to considerable recovery of real estate industry and also resulted in full-fledged reopening of cellular concrete manufacturing facilities. Moreover, it has been more than two years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown significant signs of recovery.

Furthermore, the increasing GDP of the countries across the world, especially the developing nations such as India and China has led to increased expenditure on infrastructure construction. In addition, the advancements in cellular concrete manufacturing technologies is a major cellular concrete market opportunity.

The cellular concrete market is segmented into Density, Type and Application. On the basis of density the market is bifurcated into high, medium and low. On the basis of type, aerated concrete and foam concrete. On the basis of application, it is bifurcated into building construction and infrastructure.
