Underwater Concrete Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Admixtures, Aggregates, Cement, Other), By Application (Hydropower, Marine, Tunnels, Swimming pools, Offshore application, Underwater repairs, Other) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Concrete is the commonly used key material used for construction. Underwater concrete is a special type of concrete used to build up complex infrastructures which are to be in contact with water. They can be hydro projects, dams, bridges, ports, platforms, swimming pools and other. It exhibits hydrophobic properties with exceptional strength. There has been improvement in the manufacturing technology of the underwater concrete making it applicable for certain applications where normal concrete does not work.

Increase in marine construction activities like dock structures, bulk terminals, wind farms, oil platforms, submarine pipelines, bridges, and other marine infrastructure shall foster the industry growth. The increasing spending of governments to increase the operational efficiency and capacity expansion of ports is expected to drive the market. For instance, as 90% of the trade activities of India are carried out by maritime route, there is always need of developing ports and related infrastructure. Moreover, the growing demand from end-use sectors like oil & gas and power is expected to drive the market.

However, the fluctuations in the price of raw material used to manufacture underwater concrete are likely to hinder the market growth.
