For instance, in May 2023, ACC Limited, a subsidiary of Adani Cement and part of the Adani Group, has introduced 'Bagcrete', a user-friendly pre-blended concrete solution. This innovative product by ACC is designed to provide high-quality concrete mix by combining premium components in the right proportions.
However, the setup required for mixing the materials in the right proportions can pose challenges when space is limited near the construction site. In such cases, companies may need to transport the concrete mixture. Since the combination has a limited span of 90 minutes, delays caused by traffic can lead to settling or a loss of workability, thereby hindering the growth of the ready-mix concrete market. Additionally, certain developing countries, like Iran, Iraq, and Indonesia, face economic and employment issues, indirectly impacting the market's growth. These countries also need better transportation and logistics infrastructure, non-tariff trade barriers, and low foreign direct investment, which hinder economic growth and, consequently, restrain the market's expansion.
Moreover, ready-mix concrete offers time and cost savings to construction companies. Since the concrete is mixed and delivered in ready-to-use form, it eliminates the need for on-site mixing, reducing labor and equipment costs. Additionally, ready-mix concrete allows for faster construction progress as it can be poured immediately upon arrival at the site, leading to shorter project timelines and improved efficiency.
The ready-mix concrete market has experienced challenges and opportunities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, construction activities were severely affected, leading to a decline in demand. However, as restrictions eased and governments implemented stimulus packages, the market began to recover. The emphasis on health and safety measures further increased the demand for ready-mix concrete, as it minimizes on-site labor and ensures consistency. Supply chain disruptions and labor shortages remain ongoing challenges, but the ready-mix concrete market is expected to grow as infrastructure development projects, and the demand for sustainable construction materials persist.
Growth Drivers
Growth of the Construction Industry
The construction industry is experiencing growth globally due to various factors. Economic development, population growth, and urbanization drive the need for new infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, and public facilities. Governments and private sectors invest in construction projects to meet these demands, increasing construction activities and opportunities for construction companies.
Moreover, there is a growing awareness of the environmental impact of construction activities, leading to a surge in demand for sustainable construction practices. Green building initiatives, energy-efficient designs, and environmentally friendly materials are becoming more prevalent. Government regulations, energy cost savings, and the desire to reduce carbon emissions drive the demand for sustainable construction practices. This trend influences construction companies to adopt eco-friendly approaches and offer green building solutions.
