FRC's adaptability and advanced mechanical properties make it a desired preference in modern construction, providing answers to demanding situations posed by means of dynamic environmental situations and demanding structural requirements.
Market Dynamics
The growth of the global fiber reinforced concrete market is driven by increase in industrialization & urbanization in developing countries, such as China and India. In addition, an upsurge in population is predicted to have an instantaneous effect on the boom of the fiber-reinforced concrete (frc) market to cater to the increase in requirements of purchasers.
Furthermore, the rise in funding in growing commercial infrastructure such as airports, and bridges drives the increase of the fiber strengthened concrete marketplace in North America. For example, under the ‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’ of the U.S., the U.S. has allocated $25 billion for airports to address their repair and upkeep. Moreover, substantial boom in trends of residential improvement and renovation is predicted to fuel the market increase in the region. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2022, rise in authorization for the construction of homes accelerated via 1.4 % from June 2021 to June 2022. In addition, in February 2023, the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) Group received the approval from the Vietnamese authorities to installation its 2nd and Vietnam’s 13th commercial park in the north-primary province of Nghe An. Thus, a growth in new construction and infrastructure tasks is predicted to create lucrative opportunities for marketplace players.
The infrastructure segment generated the highest revenue in 2022. This is owing to rising urbanization and infrastructure development in developing regions such as China, India, Africa and Others.
Increasing international focus of environmental problems has led to a surge in sustainability initiatives inside the construction enterprise. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) aligns with those efforts via providing better durability and decreased environmental effect. As governments and corporations prioritize inexperienced building ideas, the demand for FRC is driven through its potential to make contributions to sustainable construction practices. In addition, rise in infrastructure spending in various countries, such as Germany, France, India, and others, surges the demand for fiber reinforced concrete, and thus drives the growth of the fiber-reinforced concrete (frc) market.
Rapid expanding populations, and growth in the economy are some of the reasons contributing to the global construction sector's notable rise. This expansion affects a variety of construction segments, such as home construction, office buildings, and manufacturing facilities, resulting in an increased demand for fiber reinforced concrete solutions. For instance, according to the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) of Australia, the total number of approvals in developed commercial real estate sector increased significantly from 247 in 2019-20 to 657 in 2020-21 and the total value of approvals increased from $28.2 billion in 2019-20 to $70.4 billion in 2020-21. Such factors drive the fiber-reinforced concrete (frc) market growth.
The steel fiber segment generated the highest revenue in 2022. This is owing to steel fiber offers exceptional tensile and shear strength.
Rapid urbanization and population increase necessitate enormous investments in infrastructure. FRC's advanced power and sturdiness make it an attractive desire for infrastructure tasks like bridges and tunnels. The multiplied focus on resilient and lengthy-lasting systems propels the growth for fiber-reinforced concrete (frc) market, aligning with the robust growth in infrastructure development worldwide.
However, challenges like limited awareness among construction experts regarding the benefits and applications of FRC pose a large restraint. Education and outreach efforts are crucial to triumph over this hurdle and foster broader popularity in the industry. While FRC offers long-time period benefits, its initial value can be a deterrent in low budget projects. The perceived better upfront costs may additionally impede sizeable adoption, especially in markets prioritizing immediate value concerns over lengthy-time period advantages. Such factors act as a restraint for fiber-reinforced concrete (frc) market growth.
The sprayed segment generated the highest revenue in 2022. This is owing to increase in demand for fiber reinforced concrete for quick and efficient application, and covers complex & irregular shapes
On the contrary, an increase in investments in infrastructure is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market players during the forecast period. In addition, owing to rapid economic development and increasing population, countries such as India and China are investing heavily in construction of schools and higher education institutions, health, sports, and other basic infrastructure. For instance, according to Indian Brand Equity Foundation, Indian real estate market is expected to increase to $1 trillion in 2030 from $200 million in 2021, making it the third largest globally. Hence, these investments in the construction sector are projected to increase the demand for fiber reinforced concrete and are expected to offer opportunities for fiber reinforced concrete industry growth.
