Âmbito do relatório e segmentação de mercado       

Definição de mercado

Os materiais cimentícios suplementares (SCMs) são substâncias adicionadas às misturas de betão para melhorar o desempenho e a sustentabilidade. Exemplos incluem cinzas volantes, cimento de escória e sílica ativa. Os SCM melhoram a durabilidade, reduzem a pegada de carbono e melhoram a trabalhabilidade do betão. Ao substituir parcialmente o cimento, contribuem para a redução de custos e do impacto ambiental, mantendo ou mesmo melhorando a qualidade do betão.

Dinâmica do mercado de materiais cimentícios suplementares

Motoristas

• Aumento da procura por betão de alto desempenho

A crescente procura de betão de alto desempenho em aplicações críticas, como edifícios altos, estruturas marítimas e centrais nucleares, está a impulsionar a prevalência de materiais cimentícios suplementares (SCM). Os SCM melhoram a resistência, a durabilidade e a resistência à degradação do betão, atendendo às rigorosas exigências dos projetos de construção modernos e, assim, impulsionando significativamente o crescimento do mercado.

• Regulamentações Ambientais e Iniciativas de Sustentabilidade

Regulamentações ambientais rigorosas e um foco em práticas de construção sustentáveis ​​estão a aumentar a procura de SCM, como cinzas volantes, escórias e sílica ativa. Estas alternativas ecológicas ao cimento tradicional reduzem as emissões de carbono e a eliminação de resíduos. Consequentemente, o mercado de SCM está a crescer à medida que as indústrias procuram soluções mais ecológicas para cumprir as normas regulamentares e as metas ambientais.

Por exemplo, as rigorosas normas europeias em matéria de emissões impulsionaram a procura de SCM como alternativas ecológicas ao cimento tradicional.

Oportunidades

• Crescente reabilitação e modernização de infra-estruturas

A reabilitação de infraestruturas e o retrofit de estruturas antigas apresentam oportunidades lucrativas para os materiais cimentícios suplementares (SCMs). Os SCM ajudam a melhorar o desempenho e a prolongar a vida útil das estruturas de betão, abordando questões como a reação álcali-sílica (ASR) e o ataque por sulfatos. Isto promove o crescimento do mercado à medida que aumenta a procura por soluções sustentáveis ​​em projetos de construção em todo o mundo.

Por exemplo, em setembro de 2022, a Innovative Ash Solutions, uma joint-venture entre a Levenseat e a Organic Innovative Solutions, revelou planos para construir uma fábrica de SCM baseada em resíduos de controlo da poluição do ar (APCR) à escala industrial de 54.000 toneladas por ano, com intenções de estabelecer três destas fábricas em todo o Reino Unido Estes SCM baseados em APCR visam substituir as cinzas volantes pulverizadas (PFA).

• Crescente Sensibilização e Aceitação entre os Consumidores

Growing awareness among construction industry professionals about the benefits of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), facilitated by educational initiatives from industry organizations and government agencies, creates market expansion opportunities. Architects, engineers, contractors, and developers increasingly recognize the environmental and economic advantages of integrating SCMs into construction projects, driving their growing acceptance and usage.

For instance, the American Concrete Institute's outreach program highlighting the durability benefits of incorporating fly ash in concrete has led to increased adoption among contractors for infrastructure projects, showcasing growing awareness and acceptance in the supplementary cementitious materials market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Increasing Emission of Fly Ash

The increasing emission of fly ash during concrete activities poses a significant challenge to the supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) market. As fly ash, a commonly used SCM, is released into the atmosphere, it reduces the availability of this valuable material for sustainable cement production, hindering the growth and adoption of SCMs in construction applications.

• Supply Chain Constraints

Limited availability of raw materials for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) coupled with logistical hurdles in sourcing and transportation can disrupt supply chains, causing erratic availability and pricing fluctuations. Addressing these challenges demands robust strategies for procurement, distribution, and efficient management of resources to ensure a stable and reliable SCM supply.
