Self-consolidating (SCC) is a mixture of concrete with high segregation resistance, moderate viscosity, high deformability, and low yield stress. Self-consolidating concrete is a highly fluid mix and has exceptional characteristics such as it sets in the shape of the texture of the mold firmly and does not require tamping post pouring. Besides, it is closely attached to self-leveling and can easily flow through obstructions and the formwork. In addition, pouring self-consolidating concrete is less labor-intensive than conventional concrete mixes. It is designed to eliminate vibration-related problems and is also the possible source for quality and technical control issues. The global self-consolidating concrete market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period.

Top Driver: Growing Need for a Non-Vibrating Process and Efficient performance Results

The growth of the global self-consolidating concrete market is anticipated to grow, attributing to factors such as growing need for a non-vibrating process while laying the concrete, improvement in air quality, cost reduction of MRO, and less adverse impact on the environment during repair and construction activities. The market is also expected to proliferate by the safety and health benefits of the concrete and efficient performance and construction results. It allows feasibility for small and medium scale manufacturing companies due to its thin concrete sections, improved durability, high design freedom, easy placing, and fast construction.

Infrastructure Segment is Expected to be the Largest Segment in the Market

On the basis of end use the global self- consolidating market can be classified into Infrastructure, Oil & Gas Construction, Building & Construction. Infrastructure segment is expected to be the largest segment in the market owing to the growing infrastructural activities across the globe. On the basis of application, the market can be segmented into Drilled Shafts, Columns, Metal Decking, Concrete Frames. On the basis of type the market is segmented into Powder Type SCC, Viscosity Agent Type SCC, Combination Type SCC.

Rising Disposable Income to Benefit Asia Pacific Market

Asia Pacific is expected to attain growth at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region construction market is anticipated to remain the largest market due to the increased growth in per capita incomes, along with the rise in urbanization in the region. The Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest-developing markets mainly due to the population growth and gradual surge in construction activities.

Players to Focus on Self-Consolidating Concrete Market

The global market is expected to stay fragmented with the increase in the number of new entrants in the coming years. Cemex S.A.B De C.V., ACC Limited, Sika Group, Ltd., BASF SE, Tarmac, Kilsaran, Heidelbergcement AG, and Unibeton Ready Mix among others could be at the forefront of the competition in the global market.

US Concrete: In February 2020, US Concrete had acquired Coram Materials for a purchase price of $142 million while also announcing its full year and fourth quarter 2019 results.

HeidelbergCement AG: In July 2015, HeidelbergCement AG announced that it had entered into a purchase agreement with Italmobiliare S.p.A. about the acquisition of a 45% shareholding in Italcementi S.p.A. The purchase price amounts to €10.60 per Italcementi share. This represents a total purchase price of approximately €1.67 billion for the 45% stake, which will be paid in cash and up to 10.5 million HeidelbergCement shares resulting from a capital increase against contribution in kind.
