Introduction
AAC blocks are green precast building materials present in the global market for over 70 years. And used extensively in residential and non-residential constructions. This green building material comes from natural materials such as sand (or fly-ash), cement, lime, gypsum, aluminum powder, and water. This mixture creates an aerated structure providing insulation and fire protection in one lightweight product. Also, AAC block is quite an established building material. This building material has rapidly gained worldwide market share compared to conventional materials due to its superior characteristics. AAC blocks construct inner leaves of cavity walls and partitioning and internal, external, and firewalls in both load-bearing and non-load bearing designs. It is efficient for domestic, commercial, and industrial buildings.
The global Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) market size is projected to grow from USD 18.8 billion in 2020 to USD 25.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 6.0% between 2020 and 2025.
Description
The major driving factors include the increasing urbanization & industrialization, growth in the infrastructure sector, increasing demand for lightweight construction materials, growing preferences for low-cost houses, and an ever-increasing focus on green and soundproof buildings. However, the cost of AAC blocks and lack of awareness will restrain this market. Focus on construction projects with a high affinity for earthquakes and low market penetration will offer the AAC block manufacturers significant growth opportunities. A significant challenge faced by the players in this market is the brittle nature of these materials.
The block segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period in the AAC block market.
Product Type-
- Blocks
- Panels
- Lintels
- Others

The non-residential segment will be the fastest-growing, end-use industry during the forecast period in the AAC block market in terms of volume.
End-Use
- Residential Construction
- Industrial Construction
- Commercial Construction
- Infrastructure Construction
The two most critical considerations for a well-designed commercial building are aesthetics and functionality. AAC block is one of the world’s most popular building materials after concrete. AAC is manufactured mostly as blocks and panels. Unlike concrete masonry units, AAC blocks are solid, with no molded core holes. Four inches of AAC block has a 4-hour fire rating, making it ideal in commercial buildings for encasing steel columns, surrounding elevator shafts, and for other fire-stopping requirements.
AAC blocks offer highly efficient thermal insulation, optimal fire protection, and masonry with excellent load-bearing abilities. Large-format prefabricated AAC panels are used in large-scale business construction projects, such as logistics centers, warehouses, production facilities, event centers, and sports halls. The usage of AAC blocks for commercial construction is more than one-third of the market share.
Asia-Pacific will be the largest AAC block market during the forecast period.
Region
- North America
- Latin America
- Europe
- Japan
- The Asia Pacific Except for Japan
- Middle East & Africa
Asia-Pacific region (APAC) was the largest market for AAC blocks in 2019. The large market size in the region attributes to the growth of the building and construction industry. AAC block market in Asia-Pacific except for Japan (APEJ) is witnessing tremendous growth. Thus, making this region the biggest market for AAC blocks from 2020 to 2025. Additionally, growing awareness and the extraordinary properties of the material will increase the overall market penetration. Nations in APAC are progressively focusing on developing green buildings to understand a maintainable future. And scrutinizing for practical and effective development techniques. As AAC block is quite reasonable and provides vitality. In fact, the developing countries use them and are all set to account for over 30% market share by 2025.
The prominent players of AAC block manufacturers are focusing on the expansion of the AAC product portfolio. Furthermore, companies are moving toward geographical expansion along with enhancing their production capacity.
