[Research Report] The green cement and concrete market was valued at US$ 28,662.51 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 39,973.97 million by 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during 2022–2030.

Analyst Perspective:

The global green cement and concrete market is broadly segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominates the global green cement and concrete market due to the presence of top cement-producing countries such as China and India. In addition, government initiatives to reduce carbon emissions are another factor driving green cement growth in the region.

Europe is the second largest green cement and concrete market globally. Several European countries have set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions. For instance, in 2020, the Verein Deutscher Zementwerke e.V. (VDZ), the German cement association, presented plans for decarbonizing cement and concrete by 2050.

In North America, various cement manufacturers have been actively exploring sustainable methods of cement production by incorporating alternative raw materials and deploying carbon capture technologies. In 2022, CEMEX USA signed a corporate agreement worth US$ 3.7 million with the US Department of Energy to develop and install carbon capture technology in its cement plant. Such government initiatives is anticipated to boost the green cement and concrete market growth.

Growing construction projects in Saudi Arabia and the UAE propel the green cement and concrete market in the Middle East & Africa. In 2023, the UAE unveiled one of the major projects, Burj Binghatti, the world's tallest residential tower.

Brazil has strong construction industries, which generates the demand for green cement in South America. For instance, in 2023, the Government of Brazil announced an infrastructure development plan worth US$ 300 billion over the next four years. Such government investments are expected to boost the green cement and concrete market share of South America.

Market Overview:

Procuring stronger, better, more sustainable concrete has always been one of the major goals of the construction industry. Green cement and concrete mix, produced from industrial waste, have emerged as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement. Green cement is an environment-friendly product with a low carbon footprint. Fly ashes and slag from the blast furnace are a few of the key raw materials used in the fabrication of green cement. Disposing of fly ash and blast furnace slag can have toxic effects on the environment. Recycling them in green cement and concrete manufacturing processes helps protect the environment and ecosystems. The application of waste or recycled materials is considered a sustainable alternative as it can reduce the harmful environmental impact of carbon emissions. Nonetheless, green cement is also energy efficient and less expensive as it is manufactured from industrial waste. Further, green concrete is more tangible compared to ordinary cement, making it a viable option for high-rise constructions. In addition to industrial waste, green cement also includes limestone and calcinated clay, which help moderate its porosity and improve its mechanical strength.

Based on product type, the green cement and concrete market share is segmented into fly ash-based, geopolymer-based, and slag-based. The fly ash-based product segment leads the green cement and concrete market; this type finds potential application in structural fill for road construction. In addition, fly ash can be utilized to make ceramic tiles, bricks, plaster, ready-mix cement, and portland cement. Other segment includes grout fill, hot mix asphalt, wallboard, concrete bricks, and concrete pipes.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on product type, the green cement and concrete market is segmented into fly ash based, geopolymer, slag based, and others. The green cement and concrete market are segmented by product type into fly ash based, geopolymer, and slag-based. Magnesium oxychloride cement, ferrocrete, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, and sequestrated carbon cement are examples of other types of green cement. Cement is among the materials that are most used in building construction. The CO2 intensity in cement production is one of the major concerns for environmental protection, and in the production process of conventional cement, the carbon emission is high. The growing focus on adopting a more sustainable and greener approach to mitigate carbon emissions is boosting the green cement and concrete market growth.

Thus, the cement and concrete industry has been searching for solutions to reduce its carbon footprint by incorporating eco-friendly materials in its concrete mix, such as fly ash-based, geopolymer, and slag-based. Fly-ash-based cement has the potential to make the most significant impact in the construction industry as it can improve the efficiency of plastic concrete and the durability of hardened concrete. Furthermore, the slag-based cement combines sodium carbonate as an activator to prepare alkali-activated cement from blast furnace slag. The growing importance of greener alternatives to mitigate the hostile impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment is boosting the global demand for green cement and concrete. The fly ash-based segment holds the largest share in 2022 and throughout the forecasted period due to increasing demand for sustainable materials in the green cement and concrete market.
