Non-Residential Segment to Account for a Significant Market Share of the Global Translucent Concrete Industry

Based on end use, the non-residential segment is predicted to account for a significant market share in the translucent concrete industry. This increase can be attributed to the heightened deployment of translucent concrete in non-residential infrastructure, owing to the steady investments in the construction sector. In addition, the rising demand for quality commercial infrastructure, such as the construction of decorative walls and floorings to enhance the appearance of the building structure, is also contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the demand for illuminating roads and subway signs at night is also predicted to contribute to the growing demand for translucent concrete in the forecast period.

The Middle East and Africa to Possess a Considerable Market Share in the Global Translucent Concrete Industry

The Middle East and Africa is estimated to hold a considerable share of the translucent concrete industry in the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rising public and private investments in the construction industry in the middle east with the increasing preference for translucent concrete. In addition, the rising disposable incomes, improved living standards, and the developing public infrastructures are also significant factors leading to the industry growth. Moreover, the need for commercial spaces with improved aesthetics is expected to spearhead the demand for translucent concrete in the forecast period. For instance, in 2015, Al Aziz Mosque in Abu Dhabi utilised a large amount of translucent concrete provided by the German manufacturer LUCEM. Furthermore, increased investments in the research and development of translucent concrete to create more efficient and high-quality concrete materials are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the industry growth.

Translucent Concrete: Market Segmentation

Translucent concrete, based on the concept of nano-optics, refers to construction concrete that has light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements, mainly optical fibres. In addition, this type of concrete is used in aesthetic architecture, wherein translucent concrete works as a façade material. It also finds usage in patterned floorings, partition walls, and pavements, among others. Moreover, this concrete also comprises energy-saving and eco-friendly properties, as it can pass enough light to reduce power consumption and serve as a potential alternative to conventional concrete.

On the basis of application, the market is divided into:

• Walls
• Roofing
• Flooring

Based on end use, the market can be categorised into:

• Residential
• Non-Residential

The regional markets for the product include:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Heightened Investments in the Construction Sector to Bolster the Growth of the Global Translucent Concrete Industry

The steadily rising population across the globe is leading to rapid urbanisation, which is resulting in an increased demand for residential and other commercial and industrial infrastructure facilities, thus, encouraging significant investments in the construction industry. According to the UN statistics, the world population is expected to increase from the current 7.7 billion mark to 9.7 billion by 2050. Consequently, the growing urbanisation is propelling the demand for infrastructural development for housing and commercial buildings, such as the development of 5-star hotels with decorative architecture. At the same time, translucent concrete serves as a potential energy-efficient alternative to traditional construction material, as it also reduces energy consumption. This is estimated to boost the demand for translucent concrete in the forecast period. In addition, the rising focus of the governments to enhance the visual appeal of buildings to attract more tourists is anticipated to further augment the demand for translucent concrete in the construction sector.
