Market Growth Factors: Emergence of Sustainable Practice in Construction Sector: Sustainability is emerging as an area of concentration within the construction sector in the quest to reduce its negative environmental impact. Cement production in the conventional sense is a major relatively CO₂ emission source. Geopolymers are a possible alternative-they exhibit low footprints in carbon emissions and greater durability. Governments in the world are coming up with policies and incentives for eco-friendly building materials. This will further increase the potential use of geopolymers for construction purposes.
Increasing Awareness About Environmental Pollution: An awakened public around environmental pollution and its disastrous consequences has stimulated the demand for greener alternatives among different sectors. Geopolymers reduced by using industrial by-products, such as fly ash or slag, not only divert this waste from landfills but also emits less greenhouse gases. This is now in line with the global combat agenda against climate change by using geopolymers for applications that require fire and chemical-resistant materials.
Increasing Demand for Waste Management Solutions: Waste management is the most talked-about issue these days across the globe. Geopolymers help in waste reduction through industrial by-products used for production, thereby diverting it from landfills. Geopolymers have established themselves in stabilizing hazardous waste and creating strong backfills as a part of sustainable waste management solutions. This will address the problems caused by environment degradation and offer some cost-effective alternatives to industries wasting money trying to dispose of waste responsibly.
Market Segmentation: By Application:
Cement and Concrete: Geopolymers serve as sustainable alternatives to traditional cement, offering enhanced durability and reduced carbon emissions.
Furnace and Reactor Insulators: Utilized for their high thermal resistance, geopolymers are ideal for insulating furnaces and reactors.
