Dublin, Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g78wvs/shotcretesprayed)
has announced the addition of the
"Global Shotcrete/Sprayed Concrete Market Industry Repor
2013-2018" report to their offering.
Shotcrete is primarily used as structural material for surface
coatings in tunnels and mines. Shotcrete materials are made up of
cement, additives, admixtures, and special construction chemicals.
Shotcrete materials exhibit high strength, low permeability, and
high durability properties. These properties can be enhanced with
addition of different admixtures such as fibers, silica fume,
accelerators, retarders, plasticizers, etc. These materials make
shotcrete highly resistant to heat, water washout, and alkali &
chemical attacks. The ability to be complex shaped and recycled
make shotcrete as efficient in several applications. There are two
types of shotcrete processes on a major scale, namely, wet-mix and
dry-mix.
The shotcrete market is driven by the underground constructions
industry and a range of applications, increasing R&D efforts to
make shotcrete highly resourceful, and the huge demand from the
construction sector which finds
shotcrete useful in a myriad of applications. Other
applications such as water retaining structures, protective
coatings, and repair works help the growth of shotcrete market.
Growing advancements and technological inventions in shotcrete
equipment and materials would be very effective in the future.
Shotcrete has been well perceived in various dominant end-user
markets in the last few decades and are expected to be used for low
cost housing in the near future.
Globally, the European region dominated the global shotcrete market
revenue in 2012. Japan, China, and the U.S. shared 25.8% of the
total shotcrete consumption in 2012. The Brazilian shotcrete
consumption for end-use applications is expected to grow at 7.9%
from 2013 to 2018. Market players are concentrating on expanding
their geographical reach. Other development strategies adopted by
market players are new products launch, agreements &
collaborations, and mergers & acquisitions.
The shotcrete industry is contemplating high research activities to
create new equipment to minimize human effort. One of the major
problems is the wide price range that makes material choosing very
difficult and hard to derive optimal cost effectiveness.
