Key Market Trends
Growing Demand from Construction Applications
- Aggregate is a broad category of coarse to medium grained particulate material used in construction activities, which includes sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates. Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world.
- These aggregate materials are mixed with cement, bitumen, lime, gypsum, or other adhesives to form concrete or mortar that forms a major part of building blocks.
- China is in the midst of a construction mega-boom. The country has the largest buildings market in the world, making up 20% of all construction investment globally. The country alone is expected to spend nearly USD 13 trillion on buildings by 2030.
- Additionally, in India, massive urbanization is expected to happen in next decade which is expected to push the construction sector in turn pushing the demand for the aggregates. For instance, India is trying to build ore than 100 smart cities all over the country to achieve rapid urbanization in the country which is expected contribute greatly for the aggegates demand in the country during the forecast period.
- Hence, with the growing construction activities, the demand for aggregates is expected to rapidly increase over the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market for aggregates during the forecast period. With growing construction activities in countries such as China, India, and Japan, the consumption of aggregates is increasing in the region
- The largest producers of aggregates are located in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the leading companies in the production of aggregates are China Resources Cement Holdings Limited, EUROCEMENT group, Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad (CIMA), LafargeHolcim.
- In March 2019, National Highway projects worth INR 1,10,154 crore were inaugurated in India increasing the scope for this market.
- According to DPIIT, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, the foreign direct investments in construction in the period April 2000 to September 2020 in infrastructure was at USD 17.22 billion.
