Self-Levelling Concrete Sales Expected To Explode in Asia-Pacific in Future

Due to the various advantages of self-levelling concrete over the conventionally used floor levelling concrete, it is increasingly being preferred across the world. Some of these advantages are its eight times faster setting characteristic than the traditional floor levelling concrete and its property of becoming suitable to be walked one a few hours after setting. Due to these characteristics, this material is increasingly being used in various residential and commercial applications.

Additionally, the surging demand for repairment and renovation of hospitals, malls, offices, and schools is also pushing up the requirement for the material in the commercial sector. This is, in turn, causing a sharp surge in the global self-levelling concrete market. Self-levelling concrete consists of a mixture of water and powder having an exclusive flow viscosity that allows it to spread on its own before setting. Toppings and underlayment are the two main types of self-levelling concrete used globally.

Between these two, the demand for the underlayment variants was found to be higher during the past few years. This was because these materials were extensively used in the commercial and residential sectors, on account of their ability to massively minimize surface imperfections and irregularities. Between commercial and residential sectors, the usage of self-levelling concrete was higher in the former in the years gone by, as per the observations of P&S Intelligence, a market research company based in India.

One of the major trends currently being witnessed in the industry is the huge improvements being made in the existing concrete materials. These improvements are aimed at reducing the material’s requirement for high water consumption, increasing its tensile strength, eliminating the need for experts for its handling, and enhancing its durability so that its usage doesn’t lead to the formation of cracks in floor coverings and the opening of floor joints. 

Hence, it is safe to say that the demand for self-levelling concrete will shoot up in the upcoming years, primarily due its various advantages over the traditionally used concrete and the increasing construction and infrastructural development activities all over the world.
