Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ready Mix Concrete Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the ready mix concrete market was mainly driven by its increasing use in residential and commercial applications. However, in 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The building & construction industry was hit hard, which negatively impacted ready mix concrete consumption in different regions. Moreover, the supply chain disruptions halted the manufacturing and distribution of building materials. Builders experienced rising costs and delays in imported raw materials and off-site building materials due to many factories being shut for lengthy periods. The building construction was almost negligible in Europe due to the shortage of laborers and disrupted supply chain of raw materials.

However, in 2021, various countries began relaxing restrictions. The global marketplace begun recovering from the losses. Manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, helping them overcome the supply gap. In Europe, various industries, including the building & construction industry, are back on track with supply constraints affecting these industries being resolved gradually. Rising demand for ready mix concrete across diverse industrial applications and growing initiatives of government bodies to combat COVID-19 are expected to substantially promote the ready mix concrete market globally.
