GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING CELLULAR CONCRETE MARKE- COVID-19 IMPACT

Cellular Concrete Industry Had a negative Effect Due to Supply Chain Disruptions during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Most construction works across the globe either stopped or were halted in 2020 when governments issued lockdowns and measures of social distancing. Due to stalled or delayed building sites the demand on cellular concrete dropped dramatically. Manufacturers are facing a steep decrease in revenues and were forced to decrease production or close at least temporarily. This abrupt fall not only touched the residential but also the non-residential projects and the industry was badly pounded in the immediate future.

CELLULAR CONCRETE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Building Materials, Road Sub-Bases, Concrete Pipes, Void Filling, Roof Insulation.

• Building Materials - Cellular concrete is also emerging as an alternative material in building plant environs owing to its superb insulation rates and less dead mass on buildings. It acts as an alternative to conventional use of bricks and blocks and their handling and construction is easy and quicker.
• Road Sub-Bases – Using cellular concrete as a sub-base cellular concrete is used in construction of the roads particularly in places which have watery or unstable soil. The fact that it is lightweight makes it less burdening to the soil beneath, and thus it does not settle thus enhances the durability of the pavement infrastructure.
• Concrete Pipes - The concrete pipes may be produced using cellular concrete when it is needed to reduce weight without decreasing the strength. Light pipes are transportable and fitted, when a large project is to be done in the sense of drainage or sewerage
• Void Filling - One of the most widespread uses of cellular concrete is the void filling. It is injected into the unused pipes, tunnels, or mines or sinkholes in order to create wasted spaces and give structural integrity
• Roof Insulation - Cellular concrete is also extremely effective when it comes to insulating the roof owing to the fact that it is lightweight and has a low thermal conductivity. It can be cast against to the roof deck which makes it a seamless and energy efficient layer of insulation

By Downstream Industry

Based on Downstream Industry the market can be categorized into Residential Building, Commercial Building, Infrastructure.

• Residential Building - Cellular concrete is largely being used in the residential sector as it is light weight, thermally insulating and also resists fire. It is most always utilized in the partition walls, roof insulation, leveling the floor, and as precast blocks in low and mid-rise homes.
• Commercial Building - Cellular concrete in commercial construction Cellular concrete is a vital ingredient in commercial construction such as offices, retail complexes, schools and hospitals. Its usage improves energy performance due to its great sound and heat insulation power.
• Infrastructure - Cellular concrete is applied in the infrastructure projects and in the following, to-wit, as road embankments, bridge abutments, tunnel lining and backfilling. It has low density that reduces stress on underlying soils, a benefit in soft, or unstable soil.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Demand for Lightweight Construction Materials to Drive Market Advancement

One of the key driving factors in the Cellular Concrete market growth is Rising Demand for Lightweight Construction Materials. Cellular concrete is also treasured in having light characteristics and is therefore good where the load on structure should be reduced. This is particularly the case in skyscrapers, bridges and during renovation. It is light weight, which means less cost to transport and easy to install.

Growth in Green Building and Sustainable Construction Practices to Expand the Market

With the increase in environmental concerns, a great change is being experienced towards environment-friendly constructions. The cellular concrete is produced using a reduced amount of natural resources and provides high quality of thermal insulation decreasing the necessity of other energy consuming materials. It is also less carbon intensive than normal concrete. Governments and even the developers they lead are taking to the cellular concrete in a bid to achieve the green building challenges and standards as well as certification, further boosting its adoption.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Initial Production and Equipment Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth

The use of cellular concrete particularly in big scale infrastructure is a specialized work that requires specialized equipment; foam generators, mixing units, and pumping systems. Setting up production facilities may be a highly costly exercise. These machines also require skilled workers to operate hence raising the cost. These costs tend to discourage small and mid-sized companies in joining the market or increasing their business.

OPPORTUNITY

Urbanization and Infrastructure Development to Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market

There is fast urbanization especially in the developing world, which is stimulating an increase in the infrastructural areas such as roads, bridges, and buildings. Cellular Concrete which is low density and thermally insulating is finding extensive application in the filling of voids, trench reinstatement and geotechnical works. Due to the high spending on infrastructure development both by governments and the private sectors, the use of versatile products such as the cellular concrete is expected to shoot up.

CHALLENGE

Limited Awareness and Technical Expertise Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers

There is a ignorance on the advantages of cellular concrete and its uses in many areas and particularly in the developing nations. This causes shyness among constructors and contractors to employ it in the construction works. Additionally, the need to produce the specially trained workforce that is exposed to the technologies of cellular concrete, as well as their particular techniques of application, also prevents the market growth.
