Pozzolan Market: Introduction
The global pozzolan market was valued at ~US$ 57 Bn in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period. Among material types, the artificial pozzolan segment dominated the global pozzolan market in 2018. Artificial pozzolan is a byproducts or wastes of various industrial processes, such as fly ash and slag, which are used as pozzolanic materials in the cement industry. Rise of investments in the industrial sector is likely to drive the production of artificial pozzolan during the forecast period. Among end uses, the residential segment accounted for a dominant share of the global pozzolan market in 2018. This can be primarily ascribed to increase in investments in the global residential sector. In addition, the demand for green and sustainable construction materials is estimated to boost the global demand for pozzolan in the near future.
The pozzolan market in Asia Pacific is estimated to expand at a substantial pace during the forecast period, owing to rapid development of infrastructure, growth in urbanization, and increase in the purchasing power of consumers in the region.

The global industry is witnessing increasing opportunities from residential, nonresidential, and infrastructure projects. This, in turn, is likely to fuel the global market for pozzolan during the forecast period. Moreover, the demand for cement is increasing worldwide, owing to rising population, industrialization, and urbanization. Concrete is the most widely used manmade material on the earth. On an average, every person consumes almost 2.3 cubic yards of concrete worldwide every year. The use of pozzolanic materials reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, which is a leading greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for global warming. Pozzolanic materials exhibit good mechanical strength and excellent stress-strain behavior when used as additives or substitutes for cement. Thus, the demand for pozzolanic materials from the cement industry is high for their use in sustainable construction. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost the global pozzolan market during the forecast period.
