The crack free concrete market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $134.2 billion in 2023 to $142.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be credited to infrastructure development initiatives, urbanization trends, population expansion, heightened emphasis on sustainable construction practices, the enforcement of rigorous building codes and standards, and a rising demand for high-performance concrete.
The crack free concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $175.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing significance of resilient structures, a higher uptake of fiber-reinforced concrete, escalating construction activities in seismic-prone regions, and the implementation of improved quality control measures. Key trends projected for this period encompass the development of advanced admixtures aimed at mitigating cracks, ongoing innovations in concrete mix designs, the integration of crack monitoring technologies, the heightened importance of precise curing techniques, and continued research into self-healing concrete solutions.
The expansion of the construction industry is anticipated to be a key driver for the crack-free concrete market. Construction activities, involving the creation, modification, or repair of infrastructure, have been on the rise. Crack-free concrete, essential for constructing robust structures such as bridges, dams, highways, and industrial facilities, is gaining prominence. As of September 2021, a report by Oxford Economics indicated that global construction output, valued at $10.7 trillion in 2020, is projected to grow by 42% to reach $15.2 trillion by 2030. This growth underscores the significant role played by the construction industry in propelling the crack-free concrete market.
The crack-free concrete market is expected to benefit from increased investments in infrastructure projects. Infrastructure investments, crucial for economic development, climate resilience, and improving basic amenities, are driving the demand for crack-free concrete. Notably, government reports, such as the one from the UK's Department of Transport in June 2022, highlight substantial investments exceeding £160 million. These investments aim to support local economies and specific initiatives that, in turn, alleviate traffic congestion and yield considerable economic benefits, reaching £659.3 million ($876.5 million). The growing focus on infrastructure development is a key factor propelling the crack-free concrete market.
Product innovation stands out as a pivotal trend in the crack-free concrete market, with major companies prioritizing the development of cutting-edge products. An illustration of this trend is evident in Jogani Reinforcement's introduction of polyfiber 3S in October 2021. This advanced micro-synthetic fiber, designed for durable and crack-free infrastructure in India, ensures high standards and durability across all construction applications. By providing tensile reinforcement and supporting concrete in all three dimensions, polyfiber 3S enhances the ductility of mortar or concrete, fortifying structures against cracks and ensuring longevity.
Companies in the crack-free concrete market are investing in technological innovations such as crystalline waterproofing technology to cater to evolving consumer needs. An exemplary instance is the June 2021 launch of ConcreTo CWT Plus by Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., an India-based construction material company. This high-performance concrete, incorporating crystalline waterproofing technology, excels in water and crack resistance. By actively reacting with moisture in the concrete and materials used in cement hydration, ConcreTo CWT Plus forms insoluble crystalline substances throughout the capillary system. This process reduces water permeability, repairs microcracks, and strengthens the concrete internally, contributing to enhanced water resistance and reduced maintenance costs. The incorporation of such innovative technologies underscores the commitment of major companies to meet the evolving demands of the crack-free concrete market.
In August 2021, Vulcan Materials Company, a prominent US manufacturer specializing in crack-free concrete and various construction materials, completed the acquisition of U.S. Concrete Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move has significantly bolstered Vulcan Materials Company's aggregates-centered operations by incorporating the complementary strengths and market presence of both entities. The acquisition aligns with their shared commitment to operational innovation. As a result, Vulcan is anticipated to achieve amplified scale within the aggregates market and extend its geographical footprint into promising emerging urban areas, thereby enhancing its ability to cater to a broader client base. U.S. Concrete Inc., a US-based firm renowned for its concrete and aggregates production, is a key addition following this acquisition.
