Green Concrete Market Research Report by End-Use (Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Infrastructure) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and South America) - Forecast till 2030

Green Concrete Market Overview

The global green concrete market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.45% along with the green concrete market value of USD 44.65 billion during the forecast period 2021-2028.

Green concrete is manufactured with materials that can be used as partial or full replacements for concrete coarse aggregates. This concrete is also known as geopolymer concrete or recycled concrete. It has various superior characteristics like fire-resistant, excellent corrosion resistance, enduring high temperature, and has mind-blowing solar reflection. The replacing materials for the typical concrete products are leftover in the production.

Meanwhile, green concrete can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also reduce the usage of natural resources in the building industry like shale, clay, natural river sand, limestone, and natural rocks. To make it more environment-friendly, this concrete uses less energy for production and generates less carbon dioxide compared to traditional cement. During the manufacturing process, the green concrete emits significantly less carbon dioxide compared to the manufacture of traditional cement. Moreover, there is a reduction of water usage to approximately 20% in the usage of green cement. The World Green Building Council report states that the construction projects have grown significantly from the few years worldwide and it is expected that the demand for green buildings is to be grown in the next three years.

COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted almost all the business sectors worldwide. This pandemic not only affects the people physically but also affects financially and mentally by impacting their businesses or shut down of their offices. The coronavirus has spread from one country to another by moving people from one place to another. So, the government of the countries worldwide decided to impose the lockdown, and few stringent regulations to control the spread of the virus.

Due to the lockdown, various manufacturing industries are shut down due to lack of workers, shortage of raw materials, and supply chain disruptions. The green concrete industry is also drastically impacted by the pandemic and stops production for a period of time. Moreover, the construction activities are halted due to lockdown and maintain social distance regulations, the demand for the green concrete market has reduced. Further, reducing corona cases leads to lifting the lockdown, and present the constructions are going on a huge number. Hence the demand for green concrete also enhances during the assessment period.
