[Research Report] The fly ash market was valued at US$ 32.83 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 45.73 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2021 to 2028.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Fly ash is produced as a residue in combustion and contains fine particles such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, ferric oxide and sometimes calcium oxide. It is a fine gray powder that has pozzolanic properties and it can react with lime to form cement compounds. They are used in a wide range of applications such as cement and concrete mixing, mines and dams, landfills, geopolymer concrete among others. It improves the performance of the concrete upon mixing and also acts a catalyst for converting polyethylene during pyrolysis.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Constant growth in construction industry is boosting the global fly ash market growth significantly. Asia Pacific countries, such as the US, China, India, have the largest construction in the world. The high rate of construction activities creates an enormous demand for various construction materials. Fly ash is utilized in multiple construction-specific applications, such as cement, concrete, bricks, and blocks. There is increasing use of fly ash for a variety of applications in the construction industry. Moreover, increasing use of fly ash in various applications is further boosting the global fly ash market growth. Fly ash is used in various applications such as cement and concrete, block and brick, mining, fills and embankments, many others. Due to its pozzolanic feature, the use of fly ash in concrete is quite beneficial, as it improves concrete's durability. In the manufacturing of Portland cement concrete, fly ash is utilized as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to improve the performance of this concrete. Fly ash bricks are used as a building material in place of clay bricks. Compared to traditional clay bricks, fly ash bricks are lighter and more robust, are low-cost, do not require plaster, and can help reduce building expenses and soil erosion. However, lack of awareness about the benefits or potential uses of fly ash, might limit its market growth. Fly ash is an important raw material for several applications. However, there is a lack of understanding of the chemistry of fly ash and its derivatives to be used in appropriate end-applications. The lack of public awareness about the products is one of the causes of the low utilization of fly ash.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

The global fly ash market is segmented on the basis of type, and application. Based on type, the fly ash market is segmented as, type C, and type F. On the basis of application, the market is classified as, cement and concrete, block and brick, mining, road stabilization, fills and embankments, waste stabilization, and others. Based on type, the type C segment accounted for a major fly ash market share which can be attributed to the increasing use  of fly ash in various applications. Type C fly ash is often obtained from sub-bituminous and lignite coal. Type C fly ash's distinctive self-hardening properties are due to its high quicklime (CaO) concentration. Type C fly ash is best for performance blends, pre-stressed applications, and other applications that require greater early strengths. Type C fly ash is very effective in soil stabilization, owing to its high lime content. Based on application, the cement and concrete segment accounted for a major fly ash market share which can be attributed to the rising adoption of fly ash in the construction sector. Fly ash is utilized as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to manufacture Portland cement concrete. Compared to Portland cement concrete of the same workability, the use of excellent quality fly ash with high fineness and low carbon content reduces the water demand of concrete. As a result, fly ash should allow the concrete to be produced at a lower water content. This will further attract new growth opportunities for the overall industry growth.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. Shutdown of manufacturing plants and restricted trade across the globe led to supply chain constraints for the manufacturers across the globe. The ongoing pandemic has drastically altered the chemicals & materials sector's status and negatively impacted the fly ash market's growth. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of the virus has aggravated the situation and impacted the growth of several industrial sectors. Many of the thermal power plants were not operational or operating at a lower capacity. This has negatively impacted fly ash generation and utilization. The pandemic has created a global health crisis that has disrupted all industries, including the construction industry. Reduced economic activity has resulted in less demand for new commercial or industrial facilities. Loss of income and lack of consumer confidence have negatively affected the demand for housing construction. Also, the construction sites have faced disrupted supply chains and operational restrictions. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for fly ash is expected to rise globally. Therefore, the fly ash market has recovered quite well from the aftermath of the pandemic and is expected to grow over the coming years.
