The lightweight aggregate concrete is considered as a potential replacement of regular weight concrete (NWC) as it helps to reduce the dead load of the structure which will result in less pressure on foundations and most importantly less volume of its structural elements. This eventually will cause the reduction of the construction cost of the overall construction. Lower bulk density and specific gravity of the lightweight aggregate than normal-weight aggregate proves it potential for use in lightweight concrete development with reasonable workability. Thus, with these benefits, lightweight aggregate concrete material is set to hit the construction industry market across the globe.
The lightweight aggregate concrete market is witnessing the significant growth, owing to increasing construction activities across the globe. The growing demand for the residential and commercial buildings, due to rising population is expected to be one of the key factors for the growth. In addition to this, various government initiative for smart city development and infrastructure development, further driving the construction activities across the globe.
The high cost of the production of artificial lightweight aggregates is high due to high raw materials and energy consumption requirement. In addition to this, the average estimated cost of LWA in U.S. is USD 67.5/ton, which is significantly higher than the costs of conventional aggregates. Thus, high price is anticipated to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
There is a high gap in infrastructure of emerging countries as compared to the developed countries. However, the rising investment in the various infrastructure such as road, bridges, rail etc. in the developing countries, offering future growth opportunities for lightweight aggregate concrete in the coming years. The increase in infrastructure spending, particularly in countries such as India, Indonesia, China, and Malaysia, further boosting the growth of the market.
One of the principal issues associated with lightweight aggregate concrete is the brittleness. The brittle nature of lightweight aggregate concrete leads to precipitated and sudden failure. In fact, lightweight concrete requires large amounts of transverse reinforcement steel due to its fragile nature. In addition to this, slow mixing time than the normal aggregates is anticipated to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
