Recent Developments :
• In May 2022, Boral Limited partnered with leading technology group Calix Limited to explore the feasibility of developing a carbon capture plant in the NSW Southern Highlands after being awarded a grant from the Commonwealth to utilize Calix's innovative carbon technology. The grant will support Boral and Calix in assessing the viability of a commercial scale plant that captures and compresses up to 100ktpa of unavoidable CO2 emissions resulting from the decomposition of limestone in cement manufacturing.
• In January 2021, LafargeHolcim acquired Firestone Building Products from Bridgestone Americas for USD 3.4 billion.
• In June 2020, Balfour Beatty's joint venture company Gammon Construction secured a contract to deliver tunnels and associated works for an automatic people mover (APM) and baggage handling system (BHS) at the Hong Kong International Airport.
Elemental construction is estimated to be the largest segment in the precast concrete market during the forecast period.
Elemental construction, by construction type, accounted for the greatest demand for precast concrete in 2021 in terms of value and volume. Precast concrete elements such as columns & beams and floors & roofs are used in various residential, non-residential, and infrastructural applications. This growth can be attributed to factors such as keen interest from contractors and builders in using individual precast elements to build an entire structure across residential and non-residential construction sectors and an increase in public & private investment in the global infrastructural development, especially in the emerging economies of the Asia Pacific and South American regions.
The APAC region is projected to account for the largest share of the precast concrete market during the forecast period
The APAC region is projected to lead the precast concrete market in terms of value and volume from 2022 to 2027. Growing population, rapid urbanization, and the construction sector are among the key factors propelling industry expansion in the region. New building constructions with improved energy-efficient solutions for residential and commercial sectors in several APAC countries are fueling the demand for precast concrete in the region.
