Global AAC Blocks and Panels Market Analysis

The AAC blocks and panels market size was $19,010 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow with a CAGR of 6.2% by generating a revenue of $34,361.6 million by 2031.

Global AAC Blocks and Panels Market Synopsis

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (ACC) block is made up of a special mixture and has exceptional build qualities such as rigidity, low weight, thermal insulation, sound absorption, unmatched fire resistance, and affordability. This ecological and non-toxic building construction material has replaced red bricks as a popular option for construction material during the past ten years. It is expected to become the standard for building construction in the future due to its incomparable building ability. AAC is an organic, non-toxic building material that is both eco-friendly and energy-efficient. Additionally, the AAC blocks' thermal insulation qualities lower energy use and aid in the fight against global warming, saving money over the course of the building's life. They have been a popular choice in building materials as they assist in making homes more efficient, quick, and affordable. They are dimensionally stable and shows durability. AAC, which is made of cement, is resistant to water, rot, mold, mildew, and insects. All these features of the AAC blocks are likely to drive AAC blocks and Panels market growth in the forecast time period.

However, despite AAC block's rapid expansion in construction applications over the past 10 years, it still only accounts for 7-8% of the industry. Red bricks still account for 85-90% of the market, which indicates tremendous future potential. In addition, they are brittle in nature and break easily. So, these factors are expected to hamper the growth of the AAC blocks and panels market demand in the forecast period.

Manufacturing of AAC blocks is becoming more popular in India, and numerous plants are springing up all throughout the nation, particularly in Western India. The use of AAC blocks is expected to surge in the forecast year as builders and architects become more aware of the many benefits, they offer over red clay and fly ash bricks. Urban labor shortages and high interest rates have compelled builders and developers to search for quicker and more effective building materials. This factor boosts the AAC blocks and panels market demand during the forecast year.

According to regional analysis, the Asia-Pacific AAC blocks and panels market growth accounted for $19,849.8 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow with a CAGR of 4.9% in the projected timeframe. This is because in China, the demand for high-quality building materials is constantly increasing and to it is necessary produce high-quality reinforced parts in addition to the normal blocks.

Global AAC Blocks and Panels Overview

AAC is a precast, lightweight foam concrete building material that can be used to create blocks-like concrete masonry units. AAC products, which are made of quartz sand, sintered gypsum, lime, cement, water, and aluminum powder, are cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure. The thin-set mortar, as opposed to the conventional concrete mortar used in CMU construction, is used to stack AAC panels, commonly known as "units." A full structure may be constructed out of only one material owing to the design flexibility of AAC and its combined structural and insulating components.

COVID-19 Impact on Global AAC Blocks and Panels Market

The COVID-19 impact on AAC blocks and panel market has brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses as various businesses, industries and construction across the world were standstill. This has ultimately lowered the demand and supply of construction raw material due to disruptions in supply chain, closure of manufacturing plants, halt in transportation services, as well as economic slowdown across several countries. For instance, the construction sector faced the highest impact in terms of sales and acquisition of new projects. Also, several construction projects were postponed or cancelled due to shortage of raw materials, labors, fear of contracting the COVID-19 virus among workers, as well as travel restrictions. However, due to decreasing raw material production, increasing financial burden on builders, and disruption in supply chains for material and production equipment have adversely influenced the market developments, during the pandemic and manufacturing units have hampered the market share during the pandemic. However, in April 2020, the government's decision to resume construction in non-coronavirus hotspots is anticipated to benefit the real estate industry and keep migrant workers on the job sites.

Increase in Applications of AAC Blocks and Panels Trend in Constructional Area to Drive the Market Growth

AAC blocks are 8 to 9 times larger than traditional red bricks and offer better compressive strength than traditional red clay brick, also they are also 3 times lighter. In addition, the blocks are lightweight, more durable, and uniform in size and shape, as well as eco-friendly and certified green building material, which reduces construction costs. Furthermore, AAC blocks are having planar surface as well as the internal walls do not require require plastering, which helps to save the cost of plastering. They provide a big hand for the construction industry. Their market is increasing due to urbanization. So, it is anticipated that it will drive the growth of AAC blocks and panels market share growth in the future.

Growing Popularity of Red Bricks Over AAC Block to Restrain the Market Growth

Red bricks are the most common type and the oldest type of brick used. The red bricks can be attributed to their convenience, durability, low cost, easy availability, and feasibility, so they are preferred by most people for building construction. So, it shows adverse impact on the AAC block and panel market growth and its popularity. Sometimes plaster is not able to attach the AAC blocks correctly because the surface of these blocks is smooth in nature. AAC block effort necessitates caution during manufacturing to avoid the surface becoming too rough. All such factors are likely to impede market growth in the next few years.

Use of AAC Block Makes It Ideal for Construction of Internal and External Wall in The House

Rapidly growing industrialization in developing countries like India has increased the need for AAC blocks and panels. Autoclaved aerated concrete's superior features, such as low cost, capacity to withstand earthquake and fire, and variety in block sizes, are making it popular in the building sector. Furthermore, government in India has focused more on road connections, motorways, and residential buildings, which is fueling demand for autoclaved aerated concrete.

AAC blocks have been embraced by the construction industry, and their use is likely to increase in the future years as developers & designers have become more aware of the many advantages of using AAC blocks over clay and fly ash bricks. In a nation like India, when thermal power stations produce a lot of industrial wastes (fly ash), bricks are a gift since they employ coal ash like a raw material. This factor boosts the AAC blocks and panels market opportunity during the forecast period.
