Self-compacting concrete market size from the admixture segment is anticipated to grow at over 5.5% CAGR through 2032, attributed to the rising demand for high-performance additives to improve workability, flowability, and segregation resistance for enabling efficient construction and reducing labor efforts. Moreover, manufacturers are taking constant efforts to innovate and provide specialized admixtures to cater to different construction needs, supporting the segment growth. For instance, in January 2023, Bio Graphene Solutions (BGS) developed a strength performance admixture for commercial concrete mix designs for transforming 100% organic materials into high-quality graphene via proprietary cleantech methods.
The self-compacting concrete market from the viscosity agent segment is estimated to exhibit significant growth at more than 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period, due to rising adoption for construction efficiency and quality. Effective viscosity agents offer optimal workability, even in congested reinforcement areas, intricate shapes, and tight spaces, leading to improved construction speed, reduced labor requirements, and enhanced surface finishes. The thriving urbanization and infrastructure projects globally and the rising product uptake for superior flow and placement characteristics will add to the segment growth.
The columns application segment of the self-compacting concrete market is poised to depict over 5% CAGR till 2032, owing to the extensive application of SCCs in constructing columns for better compressive and tensile strength. With rising number of construction projects emphasizing efficient construction practices and superior aesthetics, the need for distinct flowability and filling intricate molds without vibration while constructing columns is substantially rising, further driving the product uptake.
Asia Pacific self-compacting concrete market is likely to foresee more than 5% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. The rapid industrialization and urbanization has amplified investments in the construction sector of the region. For instance, the Indian construction industry is anticipated to reach $1.4 Tn by 2025. On account of their unique ability to flow and fill complex molds without the need for vibration, SSCs are witnessing higher adoption in high-density urban areas of countries, including China, Japan, and India. Additionally, the rising emphasis on durable and aesthetically appealing structures will add to the regional industry growth.
