Geopolymer Global Market Report 2024

Geopolymers are inorganic aluminosilicate polymers typically produced at low temperatures, forming solid ceramic-such as structures. These materials exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent heat stability exceeding 1000&deC, and the brittle failure characteristic associated with ceramics. They are suitable for fabrication using the same methods as thermosetting resins due to their low processing temperature.

Geopolymers can be classified into main types such as geopolymer concrete, geopolymer binders, and others. Geopolymer concrete is an innovative material characterized by extended chains or networks of inorganic molecules, offering an alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete in the construction of transportation infrastructure. These find applications in various sectors, including cement and concrete, furnace and reactor insulation, composites, decorative artifacts, and are utilized by diverse end-users such as transportation infrastructure, building construction, industrial, art and decoration, offshore, and others.

The geopolymer market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $9.77 billion in 2023 to $12.34 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to environmental sustainability, government regulations and standards, the demand for high-performance materials, awareness and education, and infrastructure development.

The geopolymer market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.17 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising trends in the construction industry, advancements in manufacturing processes, global urbanization and infrastructure projects, increased industry collaboration, and research and development initiatives. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the use of geopolymers in sustainable packaging, integration in the aerospace industry, standardization and certification initiatives, the application of geopolymer concrete in seismic-prone regions, and market expansion in developing economies.

The anticipated increase in construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the geopolymer market in the future. Construction, encompassing the processes of building, renovating, and repairing public or private structures, is a key driver for the demand in geopolymer materials. Geopolymers, formed through alkali activation of aluminosilicates, hold potential applications in various building materials, such as concrete manufacturing and soil stabilization. Notably, a January 2023 report from the UK's Office for National Statistics indicated a 3.1% increase in construction output in November 2022, amounting to $551.56 million (£452 million), compared to February 2020. Additionally, repair and maintenance work saw a 15.5% rise, reaching $949.37 million (£778 million) higher than February 2020. Consequently, the surge in construction activities is a driving force for the geopolymer market.

The anticipated growth in infrastructure development is poised to drive the expansion of the geopolymer market in the foreseeable future. Infrastructure development involves the construction and enhancement of fundamental physical systems and facilities serving a country, city, or region, such as transportation, power plants, water and sanitation systems, schools, and communication networks. The rising demand for advanced and durable building materials such as geopolymers is attributed to the global growth in infrastructure, particularly in emerging nations. These materials, known for their strength and chemical resistance, find valuable applications in numerous infrastructure projects. For instance, in 2022, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that the net value of transportation infrastructure and assets, classified as transportation capital stock, reached $10.68 trillion. This represented a 6.5% increase from 2021 to 2022, highlighting the significant role of rising infrastructure development in propelling the geopolymer market.

Key players in the geopolymer market are actively developing innovative technologies, including low-carbon alternatives for well construction cement. A low-carbon alternative involves materials or energy sources that emit fewer greenhouse gases than conventional fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Schlumberger NV, a global technology company based in the United States, introduced EcoShield in June 2023-an industry-first geopolymer technology that can reduce up to 85 percent of embodied CO2 emissions. This revolutionary cement-free system, utilizing industrial waste streams and locally sourced natural materials, can prevent up to 5 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. EcoShield offers a more environmentally friendly well-integrity solution, applicable to various field scenarios, including corrosive environments and different stages of the well life cycle.

Key players in the geopolymer market are strategically emphasizing collaborations through partnerships to deliver reliable services to their customers. A strategic partnership denotes an arrangement where two or more companies or organizations work together to achieve their respective goals. For instance, in December 2023, Betolar PLC, a Finland-based building material company, collaborated with Fujairah Concrete Products, a UAE-based concrete product manufacturer. This strategic partnership introduced low-carbon concrete paving products, contributing to the industry's sustainability goals. By utilizing industrial side streams instead of cement in production, these innovative products significantly reduce the CO2 footprint compared to conventional cement-based paving stones. This aligns with the growing interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly construction materials.

In February 2022, Inland Pipe Rehabilitation, a privately held trenchless solutions provider based in the United States, acquired Inliner in an undisclosed deal. This acquisition bolsters IPR's capabilities and service solutions while expanding its presence across North America. The merger of IPR and Inliner aims to fortify both entities, offering customers an unparalleled breadth and depth of services within the industry. Inliner, headquartered in Georgia, is a leading provider of trenchless pipe rehabilitation solutions, specializing in heat-cured and UV-based cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) geopolymer rehabilitation, manhole renewal, and construction management services.
