Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Market Size, Industry Share & Growth Analysis, By Elements (Blocks, Beams & Lintels, Cladding Panels, Wall Panels, Roof Panels, Floor Elements, Others), By Application (Residential, Non-Residential) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
The global autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) market is experiencing significant growth, fueled in large part by the rapid expansion of the building and construction sector. Government initiatives promoting construction activity are a major driver of this AAC market expansion.
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) also known as aerated concrete is a light-weight readymade foam concrete construction material appropriate for producing concrete masonry unit (CMU) like blocks. It is primarily made up of lime, calcined gypsum, quartz sand, aluminum powder, cement, and water. AAC products are cured in an autoclave in presence of heat and pressure. This type of concrete is used for interior as well as exterior application. They can be painted and coated simultaneously providing structure, fire resistance, mold resistance, and insulation.
Swift industrialization and urbanization in developing regions like Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa is likely to boost the constructional activities. Attributed to the light-weight nature and energy efficiency of AAC, contactors and engineers prefer AAC blocks which is anticipated to propel the autoclaved aerated concrete industry growth. Additionally, the energy consumed for production of AAC is comparatively lower than other masonry alternative which is expected to augment the market. However, AAC is aerated which makes it porous and brittle. These AAC products need to be handled carefully than other materials like clay bricks. This is expected to hinder the autoclaved aerated concrete market growth.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand for light-weight, energy efficient building material.
Key Market Restraint -
Brittle nature of AAC blocks.
