Foam concrete is categorized under lightweight aerated concrete, and it is grout of cement with least 20% of foam consigned. It is highly used in construction material owing to its suitable insulation property. It also aids to reduce cost and weight of construction owing to its lighter density. Foam concrete is appropriate for using in sectors such as bridge abutment, void filling, road sub-bases, building materials, concrete pipes and roof insulation. Foamed concrete is less dense over other construction constituents.

Market Dynamics

Increasing use of foam concrete in construction materials owing to its suitable insulation property and cheap price are highly driving the growth of this market. However, double rate of corrosion than normal concrete can impede growth of this market. Continuous development in economy and improved living standards is expected to provide future growth opportunities to this market.
