Infrastructure Development and Urbanization

Self-Healing Concrete: Among the most significant concrete market trends is the development of self-healing concrete. Self-healing concrete added with substances such as bacteria or capsule releases healing chemicals that can autonomously mend small cracks on its surface and extend the lifespan of a building. This invention is gaining more acceptance in commercial and infrastructure projects due to added features such as lower maintenance costs and higher resistance of roads and buildings under extreme conditions.

Asia-Pacific held the largest concrete market share. This region is home to some of the biggest economies in the world, including China, India, and Japan. This region has proven to be an undisputed leader in building infrastructure and activities. China has been leading the curve in building on a global scale for decades, with massive expenses in infrastructural, commercial, and residential projects led by government initiative and increasing urbanization. The requirement for residential and non-residential development is increasing in India due to the growing middle class and population. In case of large-scale urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure development of the region, especially in developing markets, significantly benefits the area. The region is contributing a great deal to the production of buildings in the world.
