Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Market Analysis

The autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) market size was estimated at over USD 4 billion in 2020, and the market is projected to register a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Amid the global coronavirus lockdown situation, the decline in revenue and increasing project delivery challenges resulted in revenue contraction. Loss of investment plans and termination of planned projects might be experienced in the market after the lockdown and normalization of business operations, further affecting building and construction across the region. At the same time, some country's construction projects were essential, as the construction of hospitals in China and Italy, to cater to the sudden increase in demand for hospitals, thus positively impacting the market growth.

  • Over the short term, the increasing construction and redevelopment projects across the world is one of the key factors driving the market studied. On the flip side, the cost of manufacturing an AAC block is higher than normal cement or burnt clay blocks, which is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
  • By product type, blocks are estimated to dominate the AAC market, followed by panels and lintels.
  • Autoclaved aerated blocks are used in most of the countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The usage of this type and its size differs, based on the requirement in the country. These blocks are also used in Europe and in a few countries of North America, including the United States.
  • The emphasis on using fire-retardant building materials is expected to provide opportunities for the growth of the market in the future.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Industry Segmentation

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is an ultra-light concrete masonry product, weighing as little as one-fifth as much as ordinary concrete due to its distinct cellular structure featuring millions of tiny pockets of trapped air. The market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into block, lintel, panel, tile, other types. By application, the market is segmented into residential, industrial, commercial, and other applications. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) market in 25 countries across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of volume (million cubic meters) and revenue (USD million).

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Market according to our research experts:

Growing Demand from the Construction Industry

  • AAC, owing to its thermally-insulated and energy-efficient properties, along with being fire-resistant, termite- or pest-resistant, seismic-resistant, lightweight, sustainable, and quick and easy in application, is used in construction.
  • China was noticed promoting and undergoing a process of continuous urbanization, with a target rate of 60% for 2020. The increased living spaces required in the urban areas resulting from urbanization and the desire of middle-class urban residents to improve their living conditions may have a profound effect on the housing market, and thereby increase the residential construction in the country, which in turn will have a positive effect on the geopolymers market in the country.
  • The United States has one of the world’s largest construction industries, and it recorded annual revenue of USD 1,306 billion in 2019. The United States is a major industrialized nation that houses multiple industries in heavy-scale, medium-scale, and small-scale categories. The country is known for its booming commercial activities.
  • According to a survey conducted by the American Institute of Architects, the commercial construction sector in the United States was expected to increase by 0.9% in 2020 and 1.5% in 2021. Construction activities in the healthcare sector were projected to register a growth rate of 3.5% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. The report also indicated the growth of office spaces by 0.5% in 2020 and further by 3% in 2021.
  • In 2019, the construction sector accounted for 3.2% of Brazil's GDP. The construction industry registered a weak recovery during 2019, after a continuous decline of year-on-year growth for about 20 quarters. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, IBGE, even though construction activities were carried out during the early stages of a pandemic outbreak, the construction sector registered a decline of 6.7% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2020 and a year-on-year contraction of 1% for the same period.
  • However, the rising number of construction projects globally is likely to drive the market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific holds the major share of the ACC market owing to the high demand from the construction sector of countries like China and India.
  • The Chinese government rolled out massive construction plans, including making provisions for the movement of 250 million people to its new megacities, over the next ten years, despite the efforts to rebalance its economy to a more service-oriented form.
  • China's residential property sector has been rapidly growing in terms of both sales and investments, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, China.
  • Asia-Pacific has been a thriving market for office spaces in recent years. Demand for office spaces in India has been growing rapidly for many years. About 35 million square feet of office space was absorbed in 2019. The country has been receiving significant interest from foreign investors in the commercial construction industry.
  • The growing adoption of sustainability in real-estate sectors in Asia – Pacific coupled with over 23% of office buildings in six major cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Singapore achieving green buildings certification in 2018, has stimulated the demand for autoclaved aerated concrete.
  • Furthermore, India is likely to witness an investment of around USD 1.3 trillion in housing over the next seven years, during which it is likely to witness the construction of 60 million new homes.
  • The rate of availability of affordable housing is expected to rise to around 70% by 2024. The Indian government's ‘Housing for All by 2022’ is also a major game-changer for the industry.
  • Such factors are projected to drive the market in Asia-Pacific.
