Rapid Strength Concrete Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth Trends and Forecast 2024
The
global construction industry is facing a challenge of sustainability
due to the rapid development of infrastructure and its maintenance. This
requires the development of high performance construction materials.
Rapid strength concrete is one of the major high performing construction
materials that is used increasingly in construction activities across
the globe. Rapid strength concrete when mixed with minimal amount of
water, develops high resistance and compressive strength within few
hours of its application. Rapid strength concrete mixtures are
manufactured by carefully selecting high quality ingredients and mixture
designs. After designing the mixture, it is batched, mixed, placed,
compacted and cured to the highest industry standards depending upon the
type of application. This special feature has many advantages such as
removal of formwork at an early building process in reduced time, and
repair of road surfaces that become fully operational in a few hours of
construction.

Rapid
strength concrete is a viable solution for rehabilitation and
preservation of aging infrastructure in lower time. Factors such as
decrease in volume of consumption of natural resources, reduction in
servicing duration of structures and pavements, and reduction in global
carbon dioxide footprint are driving the global rapid strength concrete
market. Any concrete requires certain properties to be classified as
rapid strength concrete. These includes workability which is required
for the design consistency & segregation resistance; rate of early
strength gain which is required for opening transportation structures
& servicing of pavements in minimum possible time frame; and
development of tensile strength & resistance towards cracking within
few hours of application. Rapid strength concrete should gain the
compressive strength of 20 to 28 MPa in between two to three hours of
application. Rapid strength concrete has been successfully used for
maintenance, repair, and extension of service life of bridges, tunnels,
airfields, highways, and city streets.
Rapid
strength concrete requires special chemicals and additives to make it
desirable for special construction and maintenance works. Special
chemicals and additives include portland cement, blended cement, fly
ash, silica fumes, calcined clays, super plasticizers, water reducers,
hydration control admixtures, retarders, corrosion inhibitors, shrinkage
reducers, polymer modifiers, and accelerators. Increase in
infrastructure development activities across the globe provides vast
potential for the rapid strength concrete market. The rapid strength
concrete market is driven by factors such as increase in multi-story and
high rise construction activities, time saving advantages and
ease-of-placing of rapid strength concrete, rise in global consumer
base, and government regulations and policies on the usage of
environment friendly concrete materials. In terms of construction
application, the rapid strength concrete market can be segmented into
modern airports, industrial & commercial buildings or floors,
dockyards, parking areas, formed work, rail networks, roads &
bridges, and others. In terms of consumption the roads & bridges
construction segment account for the major share of the global rapid
strength concrete market. High prices of rapid strength concrete and
lack of demand and awareness in emerging economies are the key
restraints of the rapid strength concrete market.
Currently
Europe lead the global rapid strength concrete market in terms of
consumption. It is followed by the U.S. and China. Rising trends of
using rapid strength concrete in place of traditional concrete,
increasing usage in Asia-Pacific, and development of inexpensive novel
products are expected to provide immense growth opportunities to the
global players in the rapid strength concrete market. Prominent global
players that produce rapid strength concrete are BASF, CTS Cements,
Buzzi Unicem, Instarmac, Aggregate Industries UK Ltd., and Perimeter
Concrete Ltd. Holcim Ltd., and CRH-Aboitiz Company are the major players
operating in Asia. Increase in investments for improvement of
infrastructure, led by the rise in per capita GDP of countries in South
East Asia, is anticipated to boost the demand for rapid strength
concrete in the near future.
