Seismic Reinforcement Materials Market: Growth Factors

Escalating demand for earthquake-resistant materials to boost the global market trends

The burgeoning requirement for seismic-proof constructions in earthquake-prone regions is a key factor driving the growth of the seismic reinforcement materials market across the globe. The use of building codes in various regions has forced engineers and contractors to use seismic reinforcement materials in buildings, thereby shaping the demand for seismic reinforcement materials. With the increase in urbanization, there is an increase in infrastructure rehabilitation activity across transportation, energy, and water management sectors, thereby boosting the global seismic reinforcement materials market trends.

As per the U.S. geological survey, the total number of earthquakes across the globe numbered nearly 1,567 in 2017 and about 1,809 in 2018. Reportedly, the surge in the earthquakes was a result of the earth’s rotation triggering seismic activities in tropical countries. Moreover, in the near future, it is likely that there can be a rise in earthquakes as a result of the rotation of the earth. All these aforementioned factors can accentuate the growth of the global seismic reinforcement materials market in the upcoming years.

Seismic Reinforcement Materials Market: Hindrances

Low awareness regarding the benefits of the use of earthquake-resistant materials to impede the global industry growth 

Less awareness regarding the need for earthquake-resistant residential and commercial constructions among the people can hinder the global seismic reinforcement materials industry surge.

Seismic Reinforcement Materials Market: Opportunities

Favorable government laws pertaining to product application to open new vistas of growth for the global market  

Legislations favoring product use in construction activities due to the rise in the number of earthquakes witnessed globally will open new facets of growth for the global seismic reinforcement materials market. Launching infrastructural development ventures in developing regions will help the market explore new growth dimensions in the coming decade. In addition to this, the thriving construction sector in the BRICS region will prompt the growth of the seismic reinforcement materials business in the coming years.

Seismic Reinforcement Materials Market: Challenges

A surge in the alternative products along with an increase in raw material costs to be a major hurdle in the global industry expansion

An increase in substitute products and a rise in raw material costs will prove to be the highest challenge in the growth path of the global seismic reinforcement materials industry in the upcoming years.

Seismic Reinforcement Materials Market: Segmentation

The global seismic reinforcement materials market is sectored into the material type, product, application, installation type, end-use, and region.

In terms of material type, the global seismic reinforcement materials market is divided into steel, wood, composites, and concrete segments. Furthermore, the composites segment, which contributed a major share of the global market in 2022, is projected to record the highest CAGR over the anticipated timespan. The segmental expansion during the forecast timeline can be owing to the large-scale use of composites in concrete and masonry structures including walls, columns, frames, and beams.

Based on the product, the global seismic reinforcement materials industry is bifurcated into rebar & rod, sheet & laminate, column & beam, and others. Furthermore, the rebar & rod segment, which contributed more than one-fourth of the global industry share in 2022, is anticipated to lead the product landscape during the projected timeframe. Additionally, the growth of the segment over the assessment period can be owing to its extensive application in construction as a result of its high tensile strength.

On basis of installation type, the global seismic reinforcement materials market globally is sectored into new structures and retrofit segments. Moreover, the retrofit segment, which contributed nearly half of the global market share in 2022, is predicted to account for the major market share during the assessment period. The segmental growth can be due to the use of building codes by regional authorities for building structures in earthquake-prone regions.

In terms of application, the global seismic reinforcement materials industry is segmented into flooring & foundation, roofing, bridge & flyover, wall & support column, and others segments. The bridge & flyover segment is slated to register the fastest CAGR over 2023-2030. The segmental expansion can be attributed to the ability of seismic retrofit bridges and flyovers in the prevention of disasters caused to them due to natural calamities such as earthquakes and floods.

On basis of the end-use, the global seismic reinforcement materials market is divided into industrial, residential, and commercial segments. The residential segment, which accounted for more than 45% of the global industry share in 2022, is predicted to record major gains in the ensuing years. The growth of the segment during the forecasting period can be due to large-scale penetration of the product in beams, walls, roof structures, frames, and columns.
