Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Market Trends




  • Growing development in Smart Cities is driving the market growth




Market CAGR for autoclave aerated concrete is driven by the expanding building sector in developed and emerging nations. A lot of money is being invested in creating new smart cities by governments from various economies. AAC will have access to plenty of consumer options for the growth of smart cities.


Additionally, the construction sector will be greatly impacted by autoclaved aerated concrete. Its outstanding load-bearing and sound-absorbing qualities make it a lightweight, thermally insulated, and energy-efficient material. The building industry is becoming more interested in AAC because it is made from certain natural ingredients. Some of its key benefits are the features of the autoclaved aerated concrete material needed in both residential and non-residential buildings, such as flexibility, affordability, and safety.


During the forecast period, there is anticipated to be an increase in demand for autoclaved aerated concrete due to growing awareness of the many benefits of using it in building products over traditional construction materials. The government initiatives boosting development and the quickly expanding building and construction industry are the main factors propelling the worldwide autoclaved aerated concrete market. For instance, the National Housing Bank (NHB), an initiative of the Indian government, announced the creation of the Affordable Housing Fund for the middle-class population at a reasonable cost. Additionally, AAC has improved attributes that simultaneously give construction, insulation, fire resistance, and acoustic and durability qualities. They are the perfect material for builders and developers because of this. The market has also grown due to advantages over conventional materials, poor logistics, and rigorous government regulations around the building. The expansion is anticipated to be fueled by rising construction spending and the financial advantages AAC provides. As a result, it is anticipated that demand for autoclave aerated concrete will increase throughout the projection period due to the rising construction sector. Thus, it drives the autoclave-aerated concrete market revenue.
