Asia-Pacific Ready Mix Concrete Market Trends

Rising retail and office spaces in countries such as India to boost the Asia-Pacific commercial construction sector

• In 2022, Asia-Pacific witnessed a 3.23% decline in its commercial new floor area compared to the previous year. This setback was attributed to factors such as regulatory pressures, higher inflation, and a surge in mortgage rates. In 2023, the region rebounded, with commercial construction new floor area increasing by approximately 146 million sq. ft. This surge was primarily driven by a rise in foreign direct investment (FDI), which spurred the demand for new offices, warehouses, retail outlets, and other facilities. Notably, the Vietnamese construction sector attracted an FDI capital of USD 71.44 million in 2023.
• In 2020, the Asia-Pacific region experienced a significant setback in commercial new floor area, with a volume decline of 21.92% compared to 2019. This decline was primarily due to widespread government lockdowns, which disrupted project work and severely impacted supply chains, equipment, and labor. However, as restrictions eased, the region witnessed a remarkable rebound, with its commercial new floor area surging by 20.98% in 2021, reaching a volume of approximately 526 million sq. ft.
• Asia-Pacific's commercial new floor area is projected to witness substantial growth, with an estimated increase of 1.41 billion sq. ft by 2030 compared to 2023. This surge is fueled by a rising demand for shopping malls, office spaces, retail outlets, and more. The Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a global retail powerhouse, contributing to nearly three-quarters of the worldwide retail growth. For instance, the Indian Grade A office market in its top seven cities may to expand to 1 billion sq. ft by 2026 and further to 1.2 billion sq. ft. by 2030. Overall, the commercial new floor area in Asia-Pacific is projected to witness a volume CAGR of 5.16% during the forecast period.

Rising affordable housing units, such as India’s likely to reach 25 million by 2030, to augment the residential constructions in the region

• In 2022, the residential new floor area in the Asia-Pacific region saw a volume decline of approximately 5.39% from the previous year. This dip was a result of the sector normalizing after a surge in building activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
