Self-healing Concrete Market Overview:
The global self-healing concrete market size is expected to reach $1,375,088.0 thousand by 2025, from $216,720.0 thousand in 2017, growing at a CAGR of 26.4% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2025.
Self-healing concretes are bio concretes, generated with the help of Genus Bacillus bacterium group of bacteria that can survive in the alkaline concrete environment for years and produce limestone that can fill up and repair the crack. Favorable environmental conditions such as presence of water, nutrients, and oxygen helps spores to germinate and grow into vegetative active bacterial cells. Moreover, sealing of cracks and therefore protecting steel frameworks from external forces, which reduces the chance of corrosion, in turn improves the life of concrete structures. These factors mark the growth of the self-healing concrete industry. Industrial building is one of the main target of self-healing concrete providers. However, the market is still at nascent stage and will take long time to penetrate the market completely. Self-healing concrete has been examined by several researchers and some industrial concrete producers to find the remediation for the occurrence of small cracks. These cracks often lead to corrosion of the steel reinforcement and thus result in possible failure of the complete concrete structure. The general cost to repair these cracks leads to maintenance costs which can be of the order of 130 as direct costs per m3 of concrete.
Self-healing concrete market opportunity includes wide application base for reliable and durable construction. The wide area application of self healing concrete will help the adoption and boost the self-healing concrete industry in coming years. The residential, commercial, industrial and civil infrastructure are key component of economic growth. Hence, saving maintenance cost and increasing the life of these structures will ensure ample opportunities for various self-healing product to enter the market. The success of pilot projects being taken across globe will be decisive in promoting the market acceptance for self-healing concrete. However, lack of project results and higher self-healing concrete product cost is slowing down the growth of self-healing concrete market. In addition, the conventional material used in construction includes cement, mortar, lime, stone and other that ensure strength of the building once combined to be applied during construction. As the innovation takes a leap with self-healing concrete market introducing self-maintained mortar and mixtures in cement will mean the price are twice the normal material. This factor is leading to inhibitions in the adoption of self-healing concrete products among the end-users.
Factors such as increased life of civil infrastructures, ease of utilizing the product, and reduced maintenance cost are observed to be the key element of self-healing concrete market trends. In addition, rise in need for preserving the infrastructure also supplements the self-healing concrete market growth. Moreover, growth in building and construction industry increases the demand for self-healing concretes across the geographies.

Analyst Review
Self-healing concrete is a smart material with the ability to repair cracks caused by mechanical friction or other factors on its own. The molecules of self-healing concrete re-adjust to replicate the original material. Self-healing of cracks in concrete is anticipated to contribute to a longer service life of concrete structures and is expected to make the material not only more durable but also more sustainable. The self-healing concrete market signifies a noteworthy growth due to increase in deployments in the emerging countries such as India, China, and others. Furthermore, upsurge in adoption of self-healing concrete in diverse industry verticals, owing to increase in investment in the manufacturing sector boosts the market growth. Furthermore, reduced corrosion of steel in concrete structure and increase in durability of steel reinforced concrete are other major factors that boost the demand for self-healing concrete in the market. However, high cost of bacterial concrete as compared to the conventional concrete is expected to hinder the market growth to a certain extent.
Self-healing concrete has more on-going projects in Europe, followed by North America, and Asia-Pacific. The highest share of the Europe market is attributed to the increase in investment to boost the projects initiated by Basilisk in the construction sector.
The civil infrastructure segment garnered the highest market share in 2017, owing to the increase in demand for self-healing concrete in this industry. This is due to increase in the adoption of this type of concrete in various structures that includes tunnels and bridges among others. Thus, Europe is expected to generate the maximum revenue share throughout the forecast period.
