Ready Mix Concrete Size in India Market Analysis
During the time frame of the forecast, the Indian ready-mix concrete market is expected to register a CAGR of over 9%.
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19. In 2020, the construction industry in the country had come to a standstill due to the COVID-19 impact, and many of the construction sites were running at half their capacity. However, the sector has been recovering well since restrictions were lifted. An increase in house sales, new project launches, and increasing demand for new offices and commercial spaces have been leading the market recovery over the last two years.
- The major factor that is driving the growth of the market studied is increased investment and development activities in the infrastructure sector. Also, the superior technical properties of ready-mix concrete over other concrete ensure the market's upward trend.
- On the other hand, the easy availability of possible alternatives is likely to slow the growth of the studied market.
Foreign direct investments in India are expected to grow in the future, which could be good for the market.
