According to The Insight Partners’ research, the global fly ash market accounted for US$ 6,863.5 million in 2018 and is estimated to reach US$ 13,502.7 million by 2027, expanding at an annual growth rate of 7.6% from 2019 to 2027. Growing preference for greener construction material substitutes and increasing government initiatives for the utilization of industrial by-products are the parameters stimulating the market growth.

The cement industry is among the largest contributors of CO₂ emissions in the world after transportation and energy. Several nations have undertaken various initiatives to manufacture environment-friendly cement with improved energy and reduced CO₂ emissions. Fly ash is the by-product extracted from coal-fired power plants, which is added to the building material to make it more eco-friendly. Fly ash concrete has the ability to curb carbon emissions while developing a durable infrastructure. The products of fly ash do not require high-temperature processing but feature the same compressive strength as cement. It has been used as a premium substitute for portland cement in the construction industry.

The growing demand for buildings and infrastructure is met by adopting substitute materials such as fly ash, as the cement industry finds it difficult to procure raw material due to scarce limestone and fossil fuels. Steel plants, thermal power plants, and other manufacturing industries produce a surplus amount of fly ash, slag, and micro-silica by-products. With the government’s aid, construction industries use these by-products for cement manufacturing. For an instance, in 2017, the Government of India issued approvals to set up cement factories near thermal power plants across the country to procure and reuse ash in cement plants. Such government initiatives with the demand for greener building material foster the global fly ash market.

Despite the aiding factors, sluggish adoption rate among the local builders and disadvantages of using fly ash in concrete mixture hurdle the growth of global fly ash market.
