Green Concrete Is Fastest Growing Segment Fueling The Growth Of Construction Aggregates Market

 

The global Construction Aggregates Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 528.09 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

Construction aggregates are basic materials used in construction such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. They are used with cement to form concrete. Concrete has wide applications in construction of buildings, bridges, roads and hydraulic structures due to its compressive strength, low permeability and high durability.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends driving the growth of the market is the increasing adoption of green concrete. Green concrete uses industrial byproducts and recycled materials as aggregates to reduce the environmental impact of cement production. It is being adopted across countries to support sustainability goals. The use of industrial waste materials and recycled concrete as aggregates in concrete helps reduce mining pressure and cut costs. Thus, increasing focus on sustainability is favoring the demand for green concrete aggregates.

Segment Analysis
The global construction aggregates market is segmented into crushed stone, sand & gravel, and others. Among these, the crushed stone segment dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Crushed stone has better physical and mechanical properties such as high compressive strength, which makes it suitable for usage in infrastructure development, roadways, concrete manufacturing and others.
