Green Concrete Market Dynamics
Sustainable Future of Low-Carbon Construction to Boost Green Concrete Market

Green Concrete is a cleaner alternative to traditional cement that is produced by using industrial by-products such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, aluminosilicates, and recycled industrial waste. A significant reduction in carbon emission is the key advantage offered by green concrete across the globe. It is used in the construction of buildings, dams, and bridges that form a part of sustainable architectural programs in various nations.

Green Concrete is a revolutionary invention in the world of construction. It is also considered the future of sustainable construction. According to the reports, traditional cement production contributes to about 8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions and these numbers can be brought down only by using green cement.

The sustainability of green concrete in the construction industry has been on the look of better, stronger, and more sustainable concrete. As such, green cement seems like a perfect solution, because it has factors like low carbon emission in production, and requires less time and energy for production.

Adoption of Green Concrete in the Construction Industry across the globe to Drive the Green Concrete Market

Concrete is the second most-consumed substance worldwide. The thriving construction industry and growing environmental concerns are among the crucial factors driving the market growth. The other major factors are they are highly durable, long-lasting, and show excellent early strength, resilience, durability, crack resistance, and low chloride permeability. Its corrosion resistance is 3% to 4% that of ordinary concrete, the tangibility of green concrete as compared to ordinary cement is high and making it a feasible option for huge construction, because of its composition of calcinated clay and limestone. It reduces the porosity and provides them mechanical strength.

With the growing awareness about the detrimental effect of carbon emissions on the environment and land pollution, there has been a shift towards eco-friendly resources. Therefore, Green Concrete finds extensive application in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Besides, stringent regulations and policies by the government of both emerging developing and developed nations have encouraged and adapted environmental-friendly buildings. The factors such as rising urbanization and burgeoning demand for infrastructures such as office spaces, shopping malls, theatres, and hospitals are also encouraging the market growth of the global green concrete market.

Green Concrete Market Adaptability in trends across the Globe to Boost the Green Concrete Market

The reasons for adaptability as the trend in the market are because rising in the number of building codes and policies mandating energy-efficient structures have led to the growth of green concrete. For instance- The new energy code in Canada has been demanding continuous below-grade insulations in residential structure coatings in recent. In the United States, the green building council has established the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program for promoting the use of recycled materials for reducing industrial waste. Such initiatives across the globe create positive growth for the green concrete market.

Oil Prices, Low Awareness & Raw Material Shortages to Restrain Green Concrete Market

The major restraint in the global green concrete market is because the fluctuating crude oil prices lead to an increase the production cost, the next factor is lack of awareness as per the reports states that 25% of the global population is not aware of the benefits of green concrete and 15% of manufacturers of this industry are still improving on producing of green concrete, lastly the other dominance factors are weakening of petroleum reserves, and unavailability of raw materials are expected to hinder the global green concrete market.

Regulatory Pressures and Price Barriers to Create Challenges in Green Concrete Market

Stringent carbon emission norms by International Energy Agency are indirectly also expected to affect the growth of the global green concrete market. The prime factor which has resulted in the slow adoption of green concrete is the relatively higher cost as compared to available conventional products, with a lack of awareness consumers are more attracted to the economic product.
