Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Market Trends:

Rising Urbanization and Infrastructure Development

Rapid urbanization, particularly in emerging economies, is driving up consumption of AAC goods. Governments are investing in infrastructure development and inexpensive housing, resulting in an increase in AAC usage due to its low cost, lightweight, and long-lasting building benefits. In March 2024, a Romanian company, DVI Production, began the manufacturing of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks under its brand Fortem in the factory it developed in Iernut, Mures county, under approximately €35 Million investment.

Growing Demand for Sustainable Construction

The market is benefiting from the growing emphasis on sustainable construction materials owing to their eco-friendliness, low carbon footprint, and energy-efficient qualities, which correlate with green building efforts and governmental backing in various countries. In April 2024, Max Group entered the green brick business by starting commercial production of AAC blocks and panels. The AAC blocks are prefabricated green-building materials that are among the most eco-friendly substitutes for clay-based bricks.

Increased Need for Disaster-Resilient Building Materials

As the need for safer buildings grows, disaster-resistant materials such as AAC are gaining traction. Their capacity to endure natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires makes them an excellent alternative for assuring long-term safety in residential and commercial buildings. In April 2024, STÄRKEN Philippines, a leading provider of construction solutions, conducted a destructive earthquake test that showcased the strength and resilience of its AAC wall system against powerful seismic forces.
