Market Overview:
The global expanded clay market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight construction materials in residential and commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. Additionally, the growing awareness about energy-efficient building materials is also propelling the demand for expanded clay globally. Based on type, the global expanded clay market can be segmented into up to 250 kg/m³, 250-280 kg/m³, 280-330 kg/m³, 330-500 kg/m³ and above 500 kg/m3 segments. Up to 250 kg/ m3 segment is expected to account for a major share of the global expanded clay market due its low weight and easy installation properties.
Product Definition:
A type of lightweight, porous clay that is used as a soil amendment and to make pottery. It is made by heating natural clay until it expands like popcorn. Expanded clay helps to improve soil drainage, aeration, and water retention. It is also used as a growing medium for plants in hydroponic systems.
Up to 250 kg/m³:
Up to 250 kg/m3 is the usage level for expanded clay. It's a special type of clay, which has low density and specific gravity. The product is used in various end-use industries such as construction, automotive and packaging industries owing to its properties such as high strength, durability and thermal stability.
250-280 kg/m³:
250-280 kg/m3 is a common weight for expanded clay. It has high demand in the construction and building industry due to its physical properties such as strength, durability, thermal resistance, and water absorption. 250-280 kg/m3 clay is used in the production of bricks that are widely utilized across the globe for various applications including wall tiles, roof tiles & slabs among others.
Application Insights:
The global expanded clay market has been segmented on the basis of application into residential building, commercial building, infrastructure and others. The residential sector was the largest segment in 2017 and is expected to witness growth over the forecast period. Expanded clay is used for its superior properties including fire resistance, sound insulation and thermal insulation in residential construction applications. These properties make it ideal for use in walls as well as ceilings of a house or an apartment.
The commercial buildings segment accounted for a significant share of the overall revenue in 2017 owing to its rising usage across various end-use industries such as healthcare facilities & laboratories, data centers among others. Expanded clay products are increasingly being utilized by designers & architects to create visually appealing interior spaces while at the same time providing optimum acoustic comfort that helps reduce unwanted noise levels inside offices or other similar buildings structures.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization. The region has witnessed a significant rise in construction activities due to growing demand for residential housing as well as commercial buildings. This, in turn, is anticipated to propel product demand over the next eight years.
The infrastructure sector of Asia Pacific is projected to witness considerable growth on account of increasing investments in transportation facilities such as airports and seaports which will drive Expanded Clay Market demand in this region. In addition, rising government spending on healthcare and education sectors will also have a positive impact on industry growth over the coming years.
In North America, stringent regulations pertaining with environmental impacts are likely drive product consumption for applications such as soil stabilization & improvement and water retention capacity in landfills rather than being used directly for construction purposes owing to its high content of silt & clay particles (35-70% by weight).
Growth Factors:
- Growing demand from construction and building industry for lightweight and eco-friendly products is expected to drive the market growth.
- Increasing use of expanded clay in filtration, insulation, and other applications is also anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
- Rising awareness about benefits of using expanded clay among consumers is likely to boost the demand for this product over the next few years.
- Technological advancements in manufacturing process are projected to create new opportunities for market players in near future.
