Market Overview:
The global lightweight aggregates market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight aggregates from residential and commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects. Additionally, the growing awareness about the benefits of using lightweight aggregates is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, light coarse aggregate is expected to account for a larger share of the global lightweight aggregates market than light fine aggregate during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its higher usage in construction applications as compared with light fine aggregate.
Product Definition:
Lightweight aggregates are a type of aggregate that is made up of small, lightweight particles. These aggregates are often used in construction projects, as they are less likely to cause damage to the surrounding area. Additionally, lightweight aggregates can be more easily transported than traditional aggregates, making them a popular choice for construction projects that require a large amount of material.
Light Coarse Aggregate:
Light Coarse Aggregate (LCA) is a type of fine aggregate, which is used in concrete and asphalt mixes for the reduction of overall weight. LCA helps to reduce the total volume of materials required for construction projects thereby reducing environmental pollution and saving costs on labor & material.
The global lightweight aggregates market size was valued at USD 3,867 million in 2016.
Light Fine Aggregate:
Lightweight aggregates are made up of a variety of materials including sand, cement, and crushed rocks. They are used in the construction industry for making concrete more workable by adding water or other admixtures. The end product is known as finished concrete which has many applications such as flooring, walls & ceilings, tanks & pipes and driveways among others.
Application Insights:
The infrastructure application segment led the global lightweight aggregates market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing investments in infrastructural development across emerging economies including China, India and Brazil on account of rapid industrialization, urbanization and rising living standards.
The commercial building segment accounted for 22.9% share of the overall revenue in 2017 owing to growing construction activities across offices, retail spaces and hotels which include renovation or new constructions. Furthermore, increasing penetration of glass panels used for exterior wall structure as well as flooring purposes is expected to propel demand over the forecast period thereby driving product demand globally.
Regional Analysis:
Europe was the largest regional market in 2017 owing to the presence of prominent players, such as SITC Group and Kibali Aggregates Industries (KAIAG). The region is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Increasing construction activities in countries, such as Germany and U.K., are expected to drive product demand further. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions with a CAGR exceeding 5% from 2018 to 2030 due for completion of major projects, including Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd (NMIA) project in India and Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit System (MRT) project in Indonesia.
The Middle East & Africa has been witnessing rapid development especially related rising disposable income coupled with increasing government spending on infrastructure development projects which will have a positive impact on industry growth over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the construction industry for lightweight aggregates as a replacement for traditional materials such as sand and gravel
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using lightweight aggregates, which include reduced environmental impact, lower transportation costs and improved workability
- Growing use of lightweight aggregates in road construction and other infrastructure projects
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new types of lightweight aggregates, such as aerated concrete blocks and expanded clay aggregate
- The increasing popularity of green building practices, which has led to an increase in demand for sustainable construction materials like lightweight aggregates
