Ready Mix Concrete Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By End Use (Residential, Commercial, and Others)

The ready mix concrete market is expected to grow from US$ 844.10 billion in 2022 to US$ 1,118.18 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Ready mix concrete is created in specialized batching plants and is mixed professionally to ensure customers receive the optimal blend that will help bring their project smoothly to completion. Ready mix concrete is available in three types—shrink mixed concrete, transit mixed concrete, and central mixed concrete. Shrink mixed concrete is partially mixed in the original plant mixer and the remaining ready mix concrete is mixed in a mountain drum of the truck during transit. It is produced to meet customer needs and specifications. Ready mix concrete is mixed in a controlled environment and can be utilized for an array of projects. Quality product, fast construction, customized mixes, and time saving are among the benefits of ready mix concrete. The ready mix concrete market is mainly driven by factors such as rise in commercial and residential construction projects and high government spending on infrastructure projects in different countries across the globe. The development of sustainable low carbon range ready mix concrete is expected to offer more lucrative opportunities for the ready mix concrete market growth. However, pollution caused by commercial ready mix concrete production plants in metro cities is hampering the market growth. All other production phases, such as operating of ready-mix trucks, generate low levels of CO2 emissions.

Based on end use, the global ready mix concrete market is segmented into residential, commercial, and others. The residential segment held the largest market share in 2021.

An increasing demand for residential constructions owing to accelerated urbanization has surged the requirement for ready mix concrete from the residential sector. The Government of the UAE approved Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, and Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment to provide residential facilities and maintenance to deserving citizens. Such factors are anticipated to bolster the use of ready-mix concrete products in the residential sector during the forecast period.
