Construction Repair Composites Market: Overview

Construction repair composites are materials that are used for strengthening or repairing concrete units and structures that have undergone damage due to issues such as aging, corrosion, or impact. The materials are produced by mixing different types of resins, fibers, and Construction aggregates. The final product created is designed to be applied to the surface of the damaged structure to provide additional strength thus improving its durability.

The construction repair composites can be used for a variety of applications including repairing cracks, spalls, and other types of damage in concrete structures such as bridges, buildings, and roads. They can also be used as a strength-reinforcing material for structures that are subjected to heavy loads or stress. The construction repair composites industry deals with the production and distribution of construction repair composites to its end-user verticals. During the forecast period, the market is expected to continue its growth trend while having to manage certain roadblocks and challenges.

Construction Repair Composites Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for infrastructure development to propel market growth

The global construction repair composites market is projected to grow owing to the increasing demand for infrastructure development across the world. With the increasing number of people, the governments and regional governments are under tremendous pressure to ensure that the country’s infrastructure is ready to manage the needs of a drastically rising population. This trend is applied in both urban and rural regions.

Due to rampant urbanization, there is a need for ensuring that the roads, bridges, flyovers, highways, buildings, and every other concrete structure is capable of handling the growing load. In rural areas, the old structures are unable to withstand harsh environments such as constant floods and rising intense temperatures. Furthermore, renovation and infrastructure development are key factors that directly impact the economic growth of the country. This is expected to work in the favor of the industry as renovation activities on public concrete structures are rising annually.

Construction Repair Composites Market: Restraints

Growing concerns over the environmental impact to restrict market growth

While construction repaid composites are considered more environmentally friendly than other repair and strengthening methods, there seems to be a growing concern over the overall environmental impact of using these materials which is likely to impede the global construction repair composites market growth. For instance, the manufacturing process of repairing composites is resource intensive since it involves procedures such as high-temperature curing which can lead to the emission of greenhouse gasses. Furthermore, the raw materials used in producing these composites are petroleum-based resin which is a nonrenewable source. 

Construction Repair Composites Market: Opportunities

Emerging applications to provide growth opportunities

The global construction repair composites market is expected to come across several growth opportunities during the forecast period as the industry is witnessing emerging applications apart from using them as repairing only concrete structures. The material is highly versatile and holds tremendous potential. Currently, more investments are being made toward using construction repair composites for repairing offshore structures and pipelines. With these new end-uses, the market growth opportunities are tremendous.

Construction Repair Composites Market: Challenges

Growing competition from traditional methods to challenge market growth

The global construction repair composites industry players face tremendous competition from traditional methods of repairing and strengthening. Since these methods have been long used, companies or certain customers may prefer to continue these methods due to the higher availability of resources along with better familiarity with the processes. This may make it difficult for new entrants to make a market in the construction and repair sector.

Construction Repair Composites Market: Segmentation

The global construction repair composites market is segmented based on resin type, fiber type, product type, application, and region.

Based on resin type, the global market segments are epoxy, vinyl ester, and others. The industry witnessed massive growth in the epoxy segment as it is currently the most commonly used resin to prepare construction repair composites. Epoxy resins are known to have excellent adhesive properties They also have high resistance to chemicals and moisture which makes them highly suitable for strengthening and repair applications. Vinyl esters are another significant contributor to the segmental share with growing applications in the construction repair composites particularly in sites of structures that require high resistance to heat and chemicals. As per India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, out of the country’s total number of bridges currently existing, 30% are more than 50 years old.

Based on fiber type, the construction repair composites industry segments are carbon fiber, glass fiber, and others.

Based on product type, the global market is segmented into rebar, plate, textile/fabric, adhesive, mesh, and others. In 2022, the rebar segment accounted for the largest segmental share. Rebars are also known as reinforcing bars and they have wide-scale applications in the construction industry where they are used to prevent cracking and failure. Although rebar cannot be considered a composite material, it is mostly used in combination with other types of construction repair composites. Plates or sheets made of composite materials are also significant revenue generators. They are mostly made of carbon fiber or fiberglass and are applied using adhesives. As per the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the infrastructure industry contributed 5.5% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as per September 2021 report.

Based on application, the construction repair composites industry divisions are water structure, residential, bridge, commercial, industrial structure, silo flue pipe, and others.

Recent Developments:

• In May 2022, Arkema, a global chemical manufacturing company, unveiled its new solution for the production of recyclable and more efficient composites. The company envisions a sustainable future and has been working toward developing eco-friendly and recyclable chemicals. The technique used to manufacture advanced versions of structural adhesives and composites has already been patented
• In August 2022, V2 Composites, an Australian provider of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) repair solutions, announced the launch of a new and improved carbon fiber T-Biscuit which is expected to act as a go-to solution for repairing flange-to-flange shear connections witnessed in pre-cast double tee beams in parking units
