Based on product type, the blocks segment crossed USD 10.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 17 billion by 2032. Blocks, being the most commonly used AAC product, dominate the market owing to their versatility and widespread application in both residential and commercial construction. Their lightweight nature, coupled with excellent thermal insulation properties, drives their popularity. Beams & lintels follow, representing a significant portion of the market share, particularly in structural applications where AAC's strength and load-bearing capabilities are leveraged.
Based on application, the residential applications accounted for over 64% market share in 2023 and is projected to grow through 2032. The increasing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient housing solutions, coupled with AAC's superior thermal insulation properties and durability, drives its widespread adoption in residential buildings. Moreover, government initiatives promoting affordable housing and green building practices further boost autoclave aerated concrete market share in the residential sector.
On the other hand, the non-residential segment, encompassing commercial and industrial construction, also contributes significantly to the AAC market. Commercial buildings, such as offices, retail spaces, and educational institutions, increasingly favor AAC due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with stringent building regulations. Similarly, in industrial construction, AAC finds applications in warehouses, factories, and manufacturing facilities, where its fire resistance and acoustic insulation properties are valued.
Asia Pacific autoclave aerated concrete market exceeded USD 9.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to surprass over USD 15.1 billion by 2032. Within the region, China stands out as the dominant player in the AAC market, driven by massive construction activities, government initiatives promoting green building technologies, and a strong focus on energy efficiency. China's robust construction sector, coupled with its vast population and urbanization trends, propels the demand for AAC products across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Additionally, India showcases notable growth potential in the AAC market, fueled by initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission and Housing for All, which prioritize sustainable and affordable housing solutions. Other countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, are also witnessing increasing adoption of AAC in construction projects, albeit to a lesser extent compared to China and India.
