Ultra-lightweight Cement Composites Market: Introduction
·
Ultra-lightweight cement composite is a type of composite cement that is
used for developing onshore and offshore infrastructure. Different types of
fibers such as smooth steel fiber (SF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber,
polyethylene (PE) fiber, and their combinations are employed in the development
of ultra-lightweight cement composites to increase their flexural tensile
strength.
·
Ultra-lightweight cement composites offer high compressive strength due
to creation of strong cement paste matrices that provide ‘three dimensional’
confinement to cenospheres
·
Ultra-lightweight cement composites also possess low thermal
conductivity due to the incorporation of hollow cenospheres as
micro-aggregates. This effectively decreases the density of ultra-lightweight
cement composites and introduces voids. Ultra-lightweight cement composite’s
thermal conductivity is 80% and 54% lower than that of concrete and cement
paste, respectively.
Key Drivers &
Restrains of Global Ultra-lightweight Cement Composites Market
·
Increase in demand for lightweight cement composites in energy efficient
building & offshore construction is expected to drive the ultra-lightweight
cement composites market during the forecast period. Ultra-lightweight
cement composites offer rapid and easy installation at construction sites owing
to their lower self-weight, thereby improving productivity and saving time in
construction activities. This makes them ideal for usage in offshore
construction applications.
·
Rise in capital expenditure on infrastructure development due to
increase in population and strong economic growth in developing and developed
countries is anticipated to propel the global ultra-lightweight cement
composites market. Ultra-lightweight cement composites exhibit low thermal
conductivity and high compressive strength. However, availability of alternate
substitutes is projected to restrain the global ultra-lightweight cement
composites market during the forecast period.
Offshore
Application Segment to Hold Major Share of Global Market
·
The global ultra-lightweight cement composites market can be segmented
based on fiber, application, and region
·
In terms of fiber, the global ultra-lightweight cement composites market
can be divided into steel, polymer, glass, and others. The polymer segment is
anticipated to expand, as polymer offers high durability and improves service
life & performance of structures compared to its alternates.
·
Based on application, the global ultra-lightweight cement composites
market can be classified into buildings, bridge, offshore, and others. The
offshore segment is likely to expand significantly during the forecast period
due to the rise in demand for floating production vessels for exploration and
production of unconventional & conventional resources in ultra-deep water
location. Ultra-lightweight cement composites help in manufacture of
lightweight structures in comparison to conventional concrete structures.
Therefore, it is an ideal option over other alternates.

North America
Anticipated to Dominate Global Ultra-lightweight Cement Composites Market
·
In terms of region, the global ultra-lightweight cement composites
market can be divided into Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Asia
Pacific, Europe, and North America
·
The ultra-lightweight cement composites market in North America is
projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This can be
ascribed to the rise in demand for manufacture of thin concrete products such
as panels with mechanical durability and high esthetic appearance.
·
The ultra-lightweight cement composites market in Asia Pacific is
expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the
increase in spending on infrastructure development such as rail & road
networks, bridges, housing, and commercial & industrial construction,
primarily in developing and developed nation, such as Japan, South Korea,
India, and China. For instance, in 2018, infrastructure sector in India has
witnessed venture capital and private equity investment worth US$ 1.97 billion.
·
The ultra-lightweight cement composites market in Europe is predicted to
witness growth during the forecast period due to the rise in construction
activities, which has resulted in high demand for lightweight cement composites.
For instance, in September 2019, The European Investment Bank (EIB) announced
to finance worth US$ 7.84 Bn for projects in the fields of education, health,
telecoms, sustainable transport, clean energy, and social housing.
·
The ultra-lightweight cement composites market in Middle East
& Africa and Latin America is likely to expand at a moderate pace during
the forecast period owing to the increase in demand for production of oil and
gas resources in subsea locations.
