The global green concrete market size reached about USD 6.31 billion in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% in the forecast period of 2024-2032 to reach a value of around USD 11.45 billion by 2032.

Key Takeaways

  • Green buildings and renovations increase the asset value by over 9%.
  • In 2021, the United States invested more than USD 86 billion in green building projects.
  • Green concrete emits less carbon dioxide in comparison to conventional cement, and its use can reduce water consumption by almost 20%.

Green concrete can withstand high temperatures and requires relatively less energy during its production. It facilitates reduced consumption of natural resources like clay, shale, natural river sand, limestone, and natural rocks in the construction sector and further aids in the reduction of greenhouse gases.

The countries like India and China have been witnessing rapid growth in construction activities and significant government investments towards various infrastructural projects. The presence of a large population and the rising living standards are driving the demand for improved houses, which is aiding the market growth. Green concrete is witnessing increased utilisation in green building projects and energy-efficient building infrastructures owing to its sustainable and cost-effective nature.

Increasing construction of sustainable buildings

The rising construction of sustainable buildings owing to the escalating eco-consciousness among the population is driving the demand for greener building materials, such as green concrete.

Cost effectiveness of green concrete

Green concrete is economical as it is produced using waste products and fewer fossil fuels, thus eliminating the need for raw materials and requiring less energy.

Rising demand for environment friendly construction materials

Green concrete is an eco-friendly building material developed from construction and demolition wastes or blast furnace slag, recycled glass aggregate, and fly ash. Thus, it reduces the amount of construction waste and requires less energy during the production process. Moreover, it has a lower carbon footprint when compared to other building materials.

Rapid urbanisation driving the demand for affordable housing solutions

Growing populations and rapid urbanisation worldwide are driving the demand for affordable housing. Construction of green buildings is low-cost, efficient, and helps in environment conservation.

Green Concrete Market Trends

Nearly 39% of global carbon emissions are contributed by the construction industry. Increasing environmental awareness and rising interest in sustainable building solutions is augmenting the use of green concrete by engineers, architects, and construction companies. By utilising industrial waste and reducing carbon emissions, green concrete creates sustainable constructions.

Various leading companies are expected to develop green concrete from cement made from a unique mix of fly ash and waste materials such as gaseous carbon dioxide and ground glass, among others. Furthermore, the utilisation of sustainable building materials in infrastructure projects supports the green concrete market expansion.

Based on design, reinforced cement concrete dominates the green concrete market share

Increased research activities are being conducted to improve tensile strength and lower carbon footprint of concrete via the addition of fibres and recycled/waste materials. In February 2022, Skanska initiated the trial of low-carbon reinforced concrete solution on M42 junction 6 upgrade scheme of National Highways in the UK.

Meanwhile, there is a growing demand for pre-stressed cement concrete owing to its durability, expansive shelf life, and tensile capacity. Moreover, the minimisation of cracks and reduced risk of reinforcement corrosion offered by pre-stressed cement concrete is driving its use in the construction sector.

The residential sector is a significant contributor to the global green concrete market revenue

The increasing global population is driving the demand for more houses, and the surge in eco-consciousness is resulting in the use of greener construction materials, like green concrete. The growing research activities on using alternative binding materials such as alkali-activated binders, supplementary cementitious materials, and recycled materials like wastewater to enhance the properties of green concrete when compared to regular concrete are likely to augment its use for residential building construction.

Green Concrete Market Analysis by Region

Europe is a key demand generator for green concrete solutions. Increasing focus on promoting circularity in the construction sector has surged the use of concrete that uses recycled and waste products as raw materials to reduce carbon emissions in the region. The rising investments in innovative carbon capture technologies by various governments have significantly surged the production of carbon-neutral cement.

The strong position of the European region in the green concrete market can be attributed to widespread awareness regarding advantages of green concrete in the region and governmental regulations for sustainability of buildings. In 2021, the United Kingdom government released new targets for green residential and commercial buildings, with an aim to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. From 2021, all residential homes are required to produce 31% lower carbon emissions.

Several construction projects already underway using green concrete. In October 2021, CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V supplied 3,500 m³ of Vertua green concrete for the construction of the P180 office building in Warsaw, Poland.

Meanwhile, in the Asia Pacific, the government is putting in efforts to increase the adoption of environmentally friendly building materials in the growing construction market. This has resulted in replacing cement with industrial waste to produce affordable green concrete solutions to build robust infrastructure while reducing its carbon footprint.
