Global Concrete Contractor Market Definition

Concrete is one of the most important contemporary civil engineering materials. It is made of gelling materials, granular aggregates (also called aggregates), water, and if necessary, admixtures, a kind of artificial stone. Concrete has the characteristics of abundant raw materials, low prices, and simple production technology, so its amount is increasing. At the same time, concrete has the characteristics of high compressive strength, good durability, and a wide range of strength grades. These characteristics make it widely used, not only in various civil engineering but also in shipbuilding, machinery industry, marine development, geothermal engineering, etc. Concrete is also an important material.

Concrete construction offers significantly reduced construction time. Reduction in time also results in a reduction of human labor, which leads to cost savings. Concrete construction allows parts of an entire building to be made even before the completion of the foundation for the same. Modular constructions take only four to eight weeks to be completed and assembled, while the conventional on-site constructed buildings require twice the time for construction of a similar-sized structure. Improved quality and productivity, shortened construction time, and reduced waste generation makes this type of construction method cheaper, which makes it a preferable choice for end-users.

Global Concrete Contractor Market Overview

The rising prominence of offsite construction to reduce material wastage and increase efficiency is anticipated to drive the growth. Rapid industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies focus on the development of high-quality infrastructure around the world, and emphasis on green building projects are the major factors driving the market. In addition, the availability of low-cost raw materials and strong demand from consumer and domestic industries are expected to aid the growth.

The rising popularity of construction is anticipated to generate high demand for cement, which in turn, is likely to result in extensive mining activities causing environmental issues in many countries. The presence of a large number of suppliers and regional players results in low switching costs. Factors, such as product differentiation and technological innovation are anticipated to assist suppliers to gain an advantage in the increasingly competitive market. However, the cost of switching concrete product suppliers is anticipated to be below.

Significant investment in infrastructure and real estate development is offering lucrative market opportunities for concrete. The emphasis on infrastructure and residential needs, particularly in emerging nations has resulted in a considerable flow of private and government investment in these sectors.

Cement and aggregates are the primary raw materials used for the production of concrete. Hence, fluctuations there are expected to have a negative impact on product prices. However, increasing the use of concrete additives to strengthen the durability of the structure is projected to benefit the product demand. Furthermore, stringent government regulations and policies are expected to hamper the production of cement on large scale, which may adversely affect the market in near future.
