Market Insight
Fly ash is a fine residue that is
formed by the combustion of pulverized coal in coal-fired electric and steam
generating plants. When fly ash is mixed with water and calcium carbonate, it
forms a chemical compound similar to Portland cement. This makes fly ash
suitable as a prime material in blended cement, mosaic tiles, and hollow blocks
among the building materials. Fly ash improves the strength and segregation of
the concrete when used in concrete mixes. Fly ash is currently used as a key
component in several cement-based products such as poured concrete, concrete
block, and brick. The high performance of fly ash concrete is due to its
physical, mineralogical, and chemical properties.
The significant rise in environmental
concerns worldwide has led to increased demand for environment-friendly
materials in the construction industry. This is one of the primary factors
driving the growth in the fly ash market globally. Fly ash is a premium
substitute for Portland cement that contributes to about 10% of world carbon
dioxide emission during its production. The use of good quality fly ash
with high fineness and low carbon content
reduces the water demand as compared to a Portland cement concrete of the same
workability. A net reduction in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions is
observed when fly ash is used to replace or displace manufactured cement. In
addition, the use of fly ash reduces the stress on the landfills. Furthermore,
easy availability and cost-effectiveness of fly ash contribute to the growth of this market. Fly ash is used in many
sectors such as industry, infrastructures, and agriculture. However, high
permeability of poor quality fly ash restrains the growth of fly ash market.
Moreover, the rising global population and growing infrastructural development in
the emerging economies creates opportunities for the growth of fly ash market.
Geographically, Asia-Pacific holds a dominant share in the fly ash
market. The rapidly expanding industrial sector in Asia-Pacific contributes to
the growth of Asia Pacific fly ash market. In addition, Indian government
initiatives such National Clean Air Programme recommends multiplying the fly ash usage by 10 times
ensure clean air and mitigating the adverse impact on the environment that promotes the growth of
this market. The demand for fly ash
market is anticipated to swell to meet the requirements of the rising
population in this region. Europe is expected to grow at the fastest pace owing
to the growth of the construction industry in several European countries. The
North America region is anticipated to grow at a slow pace due to the established
infrastructure in this region.
