Global Recycled Construction Aggregates Market: Snapshot

The essential drive for recycled construction aggregates stem from the increasing trend of improving the sustainability of the construction industry. Recycled construction aggregates (RCA) are increasingly substituting naturals ones. These aggregates typically include concrete, recycled unbound materials, crushed bricks and masonry, and crushed asphalt. A salient characteristic that makes RCA preferable are their potential to come with good mix design, particularly by mixing them with supplementary cementitious materials. The environmentally friendly nature of recycling is a key aspect that is cementing the potential of the recycled construction aggregates market. The methods enable the industry stakeholders to recycle construction and demolition waste.

Countries that are concerned about the declining store of natural resources have been early adopters in the recycles construction aggregates market. A case in point is those of Europe. Considerable advances in plants that treat these waste as well as focus on manufacturers on easing their installation have fueled the prospects of the market. Substantial progress made in laboratory investigations of the quality of RCA is boosting the market. This has motivated manufacturers to adopt superplasticizers to improve the workability of recycled construction aggregates. The advent of higher performing additives have increased the utilization of recycling of construction waste. Several countries have over the past several years have framed norms that seem to catalyze the demands for recycled construction aggregates. The growing use of fine recycled aggregates in the construction industry is also boosting the current strides of the market. Stakeholders are focused on producing RCS with better mechanical and rheological performance. A slew of methods have come to the fore to this end. The advent of materials that aid the reinforcement of cement-based materials is expanding the potential of recycled construction aggregates. In this regard, metallic fibers or polypropylene fibers have shown some potential in recent experiments.

Recycled Construction Aggregates Market:  Prominent Alternative of Construction Materials

• Recycled construction aggregates is one of the highly viable options for the construction industry to meet the requirement of sand, gravel, crushed rock & stones. The construction industry uses mined material and concrete for the construction of road, rails, bridges, residential buildings, and commercial complexes across the globe. This continuous extraction of natural resources is leading to a rapid deletion of non-renewable sources.
• Increase in construction activities across the globe has resulted in large quantity of concrete, gravel, and debris. Recycling of these essential materials such as concrete and gavels is a smart way to cater to the demand for material required in residential or commercial construction.
• The construction industry has shifted from conventional practices to the usage of recycled materials for construction of buildings, commercial places, and infrastructure. This trend is likely to provide lucrative opportunities for companies operating in the recycled construction aggregates market during the forecast period.

Key Drivers of Recycled Construction Aggregates Market

• Recycled construction aggregates is a broad category materials that includes crushed stones, cement concrete, sand, and gravel. It has become an essential and effective alternative source for usage in residential construction and other infrastructure projects. Rapid expansion of the construction industry across the globe is expected to boost the demand for recycled construction aggregates during the forecast period.
• Rapid urbanization is boosting the demand for modern architectural designs for the construction of private and commercial buildings in various countries. This is projected to propel the demand for eco-friendly recycled construction aggregate materials in the next few years.
• Most countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Germany are emphasizing on reducing the extraction of natural resources such as sand & gravel, crushed stone, and other natural materials to protect damage to the environment across the country. These countries have enacted strong compliance policies for the development of recycled construction aggregates in the next few years.
