The global self-leveling concrete market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.28% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Self-leveling concrete is a polymer-modified cement that does not require the addition of huge amounts of water for laying. It is used to generate smooth, flat surfaces with extremely high compressive strengths. It may be put on top of concrete, ceramic tile, VCT, wood or plywood, or any other non-flexible material. It is poured in liquid form and travels down 1/4 to 1.5 inches in a single pass. A gauging tool is used to distribute it into position. Smoothness, flatness, and compressive strength superior to ordinary concrete floors are among its characteristics. After applying it, ornamental overlays, concrete stains, or dyes can be added.
Self-leveling overlays are one of the latest trends for architects and commercial property owners. It is quick to install and may be done before or after construction. It may also be used to cover plywood or tile floors, and it is both floodproof and hypoallergenic. In addition to flooring, self-leveling concrete is commonly used for concrete worktops. The product is very fluid and pourable, which reduces installation time. The ultimate product is a durable concrete countertop with low permeability. It's suitable for limestone aggregates.
The benefits of this technology include a decrease in man hours and significant cost savings. This is the best option for structural integrity and fast installation and cure.
Besides this, infrastructure assistance in India remains a primary priority, as it will considerably change products and export flow, making goods delivery more efficient and cost-effective. These measures have helped the "Smart Cities Mission" and the "Housing for All" campaigns. Saudi Arabia plans to spend up to US$100 billion in India on infrastructure and some other industries. As a result, rising housing demand will be closely correlated with greater acceptance and innovation in self-leveling concrete, highlighting their crucial role in current construction methods.
Furthermore, novel solutions address particular issues such as durability, sustainability, and compatibility with multiple substrates, extending market usage and propelling growth. The SikaCeram(R)-488 Floor Leveller is a low-emission, polymer-modified cementitious floor leveling product. It offers a smooth finish compound for subfloors before the installation of resilient flooring and ceramic tiles. SikaCeram-488 Floor Leveller can be applied manually or with a pump to level floors ranging in thickness from 2 to 15 mm. Compatible with all SikaCeram cementitious tile adhesives. Also, Mapei South Africa announced the release of their new locally-made self-leveling compound, ULTRAPLAN ECO 20. As a direct consequence of market requirements, the company decided to include this creative new product in their basket as an addition to the current ULTRAPLAN collection, which has been available for quite some time.
Overall, constant product innovation shapes the self-leveling concrete industry by providing solutions that suit changing construction demands while exceeding performance expectations.
The protective layer that lies between the subfloor and the floor covering is known as underlayment. Adding underlayment is an important step in extending the life of laminate, vinyl, and hardwood floors. Floor underlayment performs six primary functions.
An underlayment with a vapor barrier is required to protect any flooring built over a subfloor that emits moisture, such as concrete. A thin foam underlayment consisting of polyethylene or polypropylene is generally the most effective. If a pad laminate or vinyl floor is attached, Sentinel Protect Plus Underlayment is recommended. This quality underlayment may be put on, below, or above grade. Additionally, it reduces noise and enhances floor warmth by 15%. If a connected pad floor is not present, the Sentinel Moisture Barrier Polyethylene Film or Silicone Vapour Shield Underlayment is ideal.
Self-leveling concrete used as an underlayment has several advantages, including simplicity of application, rapid cure times, and the ability to achieve perfect leveling over huge areas. This segment's growth is being driven by rising demand for new construction and renovation projects in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The adaptability of self-leveling concrete underlayment makes it acceptable for a wide range of flooring materials, including tiles, hardwood, vinyl, and carpets, increasing its popularity in the construction business. As construction practices shift towards faster and more effective installation methods, underlayment applications develop, establishing it as a dynamic and crucial section of the self-leveling concrete industry.
Several major reasons are driving the Asia Pacific self-leveling concrete market to significant development. Rapid urbanization in countries such as China and India, together with expanding infrastructure developments in Southeast Asia, drives the need for innovative building materials. Population increase needs the creation of residential and commercial areas, while industrialization and economic expansion drive more infrastructure expenditures. China's urbanization rate ranks among the highest in the world. According to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Shanghai, by 2025, China will have built the equivalent of ten New York-size cities. According to China's 14th Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) has issued a notice for the implementation of urban renewal actions in 2020. While China's urbanization rate reached 64.7% in 2022, the government's urban regeneration program aims to create greener and more efficient cities as part of its efforts to enhance urban living conditions.
Nonetheless, India's housing business is one of the most rapidly increasing sectors. This sector's growth is driven by a huge population base, growing income levels, and expanding urbanization. The Indian Constitution delegated responsibility for housing and urban development to the State Governments in the country's federal structure. Between April 2000 and December 2023, FDI in the construction development (townships, housing, built-up infrastructure, and construction development projects) and construction (infrastructure) activity sectors totalled USD 26.54 billion and USD 33.52 billion, respectively. Technological developments and innovations in self-leveling concrete compositions customized to local environmental circumstances and construction procedures also contribute significantly to acceptance. Overall, the Asia Pacific region's rapid growth in the building and infrastructure sectors places it as a crucial market for self-leveling concrete, driven by urbanization, economic development, and changing construction techniques.
