MicroMarket Monitor has released a report on the global fly ash market. Early buyers will receive 10 percent off customization of this report.
Fly ash is typically produced as a byproduct of coal combustion at thermal power plants. The material is largely made of silica and alumina and is used as a substitute for portland cement in concrete due to its pozzolanic properties — meaning that it itself possesses little or no cementitious value but when in the presence of water reacts chemically with calcium hydroxide to form compounds with cementitious properties. Fly ash adds to concrete’s strength, and also develops the durability along with chemical resistance. Fly ash in concrete acts as a synthetic pozzolan and in the presence of calcium hydroxide and water forms calcium silicate hydrate, which provides fly ash based concrete to develop the strength over time.
Fly ash concrete has several attributes, such as high durability, superior strength, less permeability and low cost. Recent environmental measures adopted in most of the countries worldwide to reduce the fly ash emissions by disposing it into waste landfills have boosted growth in the fly ash concrete market. On the other hand, higher permeability of cement due to poor quality of fly ash is observed to be one of the major reasons to restrain the fly ash concrete market growth.
The Asian-Pacific region is likely to dominate the global fly ash concrete market. Acquisitions, agreements, and joint ventures are the key development strategies of this market. The manufacturing companies, associations, and end-product manufacturers infuse high investments for further advancements and technology modifications vis-à-vis the fly ash concrete market development.
Key players of the global fly ash concrete market include Boral Ltd. (Australia), Ecocem Materials Ltd. (Ireland), Ceratech Inc. (U.S.), Ash Improvement Technology (U.S.), Sephaku Cement Ltd (South Africa), LafargeHolcim Ltd. (Switzerland) and Cemex (Mexico).
The global fly ash concrete demand, in terms of value and volume, depicts the current and future projections according to the parallel economic and industrial outlook. This analysis covers significant developments, expansions, agreements, and joint ventures of the leading global fly ash concrete companies in the global scenario.
