Concrete sealers are low-viscosity liquids that are applied on the surface of hardened concrete to stop deicing agents, carbon dioxide, acids, water, and other substances from penetrating the concrete. They work by either blocking the pores in the concrete to reduce the absorption of water and salt or by forming an impermeable layer that prevents water and salt from passing. The main types of products of concrete sealers are silicate sealers, silane siloxane sealers, acrylic sealers, epoxy sealers, and others. Silicate sealers are better known as concrete densifiers. Silicate sealers help to reduce dust by increasing the surface strength of the concrete. These products function in different ways, such as topical and penetrating. These products are used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Autoclaved aerated concrete refers to a light porous silicate concrete material in which fly ash is the raw material used for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete, which is a residual product of thermal power plants, consists of fine aggregates, cement, and an expansion ingredient that makes the freshly mixed material rise like bread dough to provide various benefits for the construction industry, including a unique combination of low weight, rigidity of construction, cost-effectiveness, and durability. The main types of autoclaved aerated concrete are block, lintel, panel, and other types that are formed by using cement, fly ash, limestone, aluminum powder, and water. The AAC blocks are widely utilized in the development of apartments and other forms of residential properties, and industrial and commercial buildings, like hotels, offices, hospitals, and schools. The various applications of autoclaved aerated concrete are construction material, roof insulation, roof sub-bases, bridge sub-structures, concrete pipes, void filling, and others, which are used in residential, and non-residential places.

The global autoclaved aerated concrete market size grew from $14.34 billion in 2022 to $15.95 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The autoclaved aerated concrete market size is expected to grow to $24.31 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.1%. The increasing construction of green buildings is expected to propel the growth of the autoclaved aerated concrete market. Green buildings are more energy-efficient and sustainable so that they have a lower carbon footprint and a minimal impact on the environment. For instance, according to EnergyStar, a US-based government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, in 2020, nearly 6,500 commercial buildings earned the ENERGY STAR, saving $1.6 billion, and more than 5 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions were avoided. Therefore, the increasing green building construction is driving the growth of the autoclaved aerated concrete market. Technological advancement is a key trend gaining popularity in the autoclaved aerated concrete market. Technological advancement is the discovery of knowledge that advances the understanding of technology.

Insulated concrete form refers to a concrete wall-forming system that stays in place permanently as part of the structure and is not removed after the concrete has hardened. High-density styrofoam or other lightweight materials are used for their formation, in which the insulated concrete forms are separate panels connected with plastic or metal ties or can be pre-formed interlocking blocks. The main types of insulated concrete form are polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, cement-bonded wood fiber, cement-bonded polystyrene beads, and cellular concrete. Polystyrene foams are good thermal insulators and are therefore used as building insulation materials. Polyurethane foam is manufactured by reacting polyols and diisocyanates. Cement-bonded wood fiber is a composite material, usually made from waste wood, chipped into a specially classified aggregate that is then mineralized and combined with the portland cement. Cement-bonded polystyrene beads are used to reduce the density of cement-bonded composite (CBC) for reducing the main limitation of CBC in its applications. Cellular concrete is a combination of cement, preformed foam, and water. These types of insulated concrete forms are mainly used in the construction industry as insulating materials. The insulated concrete form market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides insulated concrete form market statistics, including insulated concrete form industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an insulated concrete form market share, detailed insulated concrete form market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the insulated concrete form industry. This insulated concrete form market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global insulated concrete form market size grew from $0.99 billion in 2022 to $1.06 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The insulated concrete form market size is expected to grow to $1.42 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.4%. The increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings is driving the insulated concrete form (ICF) market. Construction industries, particularly in regions such as Europe and North America are increasingly constructing green and energy-efficient buildings. ICFs are lightweight, hollow forms generally manufactured using high-density expanded polystyrene panels. These panels are connected & distinctively designed with 100% recycled polypropylene webs. ICFs minimize the waste produced which is 100% recyclable. ICFs enhance the energy efficiency of construction buildings. For example, in 2020, The Howland Green Business Centre in Canada was built using the new XR35 by Nudura, an enhanced insulated concrete form, which makes the building’s combined thermal resistance value higher than the insulated concrete forms used in other similar structures. Public-private partnerships are the key trend in the insulated concrete form market. For instance, in April 2021, the Insulating Concrete Forms Manufacturers Association (ICFMA), a UK-based company that promotes the use of Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF), announced a partnership with National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s (NRMCA) Build with a strength program, Build with Strength 2.0. The program is partnering with Habitat for Humanity International to secure decent, inexpensive, and sustainable housing across the United States and it is donating concrete for the construction of Habitat homes. Further, in August 2021, Graven Hill, a self build a village in the UK, partnered with Iconic Development Group (IDG) to offer ICF-constructed homes in the UK. Moreover, IDG is building six homes at Graven Hill and plans to build 20 houses at that site in the coming years. In February 2021, Insulating Concrete Forms Manufacturers Association (ICFMA), a Canadian non-profit trade association for the insulated concrete form industry, announced to partner with National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s (NRMCA) Build with a strength program, Build with Strength 2.0. The program is partnering with Humanity International to reinforce reasonable, modest, and durable housing across the US and is donating concrete for the construction of Habitat homes. NRMCA is an association for the concrete form industry.
