Segments:

By Type, Cement Blocks to Gain Demand through 2029

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into cement block (hollow, fully solid, cellular) and brick (clay, fly ash clay, sand lime and others). Bricks are the oldest construction material and they are cheaper compared to other bricks. Fly ash clay bricks are highly improved, well quality bricks that are preferred over normal clay bricks. Concrete blocks are versatile and due to their wide variety of appearance, they are used heavily. These blocks are also called as Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) or cinder blocks. Concrete blocks do not absorb heat so they require less insulation compared to other construction materials.

By Application, Residential Segment to Gain Traction over 2022-2029

In terms of application, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and institutional. Out of these, the residential segment is expected to grow. With increasing population, demand for renovation in urban areas and people opting to have nuclear families are likely to grow the market share. Additionally, governments worldwide have developed programs that are aimed at designing and building using resources that align with the concept of green construction.

Drivers & Restraints:

Expansion of the Market due to Wider Concrete Blocks and Bricks Applications

The concrete blocks and bricks market growth is primarily driven by autoclaved aerated blocks and bricks. The blocks and bricks provide aesthetic appeal and strong architectural structure. The demand for autoclaved aerated blocks has increased significantly worldwide due to modular design. In modular building, the sections are assembled on site and built offsite. This fast pace approach increases the demand for the product.

However, manufacturing these products emits toxic gases. Most concrete blocks are manufactured out of Portland cement, which results in massive amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, further resulting in soil, water, and air pollution.
