“RCA Gaining Traction as Environment-Sustainable Construction Material”
Several studies have concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from buildings might reach alarming rates in the near future if corrective measures are not taken.
Therefore, the need to check emissions and cut down energy consumption is now considered one of the top priorities across the world. As such, eco-friendly is likely to be a slogan for the industry as most companies have started to incline towards environmentally viable products such as recycled construction aggregates. Such eco-friendly efforts will spur the adoption of recycled construction materials.
“Smart City Development Driving Market’s High Demand”
As a result of rising urbanization, around 4.4 billion people live in urban settings; hence, city planning has become a necessity. The governments of several countries, such as China, Canada, India, and others, are investing substantially in smart city development.
Smart city projects have led to the development of green buildings and effective and reliable infrastructure, which calls for recycled construction aggregates, as using these is sustainable in nature and a greener approach than using virgin material. Thus, smart city development is resulting in growing revenue generation opportunities for market players.
“Container Homes: Hurdle to Be Breached”
Container homes are those made by using recycled ship containers for living purposes. Container homes are gaining traction as they are sustainable, mobile, cost-effective in nature, and require little space. Container homes are witnessing high demand in land constriction areas or hilly areas where construction work is difficult.
Further, the governments of numerous economies also employ containers to meet the housing demand, which is a major retraining factor for the target market's growth.
This is estimated to be a potential restraining factor as it is cost-effective and an impressive solution in land restriction areas, thus, hampering RCA market growth to some extent.

The United States has significant factors propelling its market growth. Based on the data of Northeast Recycling Council, Inc.,
These demolitions will lead to huge piles of generated waste that go straight into landfills. Further, a staggering 90% of construction and demolition (C&D) debris is developed by demolition activity associated with commercial and residential redevelopment.
To eliminate the debris in landfills and also promote advanced construction, the recycling process plays a crucial role. The recycling of construction material for redevelopment purposes not only reduces waste but also saves on purchasing virgin material and processing debris.
GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, are investing trillions of dollars in the development of remarkable infrastructure to attract more tourism and transform economically and socially. With the introduction of impressive infrastructures in the past, Saudi Arabia is investing a lot in new mega projects such as:
Such projects not only demand high investments but also millions of tons of construction material. In such a scenario, the adoption of recycled construction material is a cost-effective and preferred sustainable solution. Hence, with growing infrastructure development across GCC countries, the market has witnessed surging demand.
The crushed stone segment, by type, holds a major market share and is estimated to be currently valued at US$ 20.8 billion. Crushed stones are readily available at any demolition site. They are non-decomposable in nature, and hence, remain unaltered on sites and consume fewer land resources. These see high demand and consumption for the construction of pavements, rail track ballast, indoor and outdoor interior design, housing, garden beds, and others. Thus, growing construction activities remain a major driving factor for segment growth.
In addition, in emerging economies, including India, Indonesia, and China, the growing housing sector is anticipated to be a key driver for the segment's development due to the fast urbanization of these countries. Thus, the crushed stones segment is anticipated to evolve and offer high sales revenue opportunities to market players.
Recycled construction aggregates are used for the construction of buildings and houses. They are used for the development of garden beds, indoor and outdoor interiors, and others. Due to the growing population and to meet the rising demand for housing, governments of both developed and developing economies are investing heavily in house construction.
Hence, to meet the rising demand for housing, the governments of several countries are focusing on constructing houses, which will result in surging demand for recycled construction aggregates.
Thus, surging demand for housing and governments’ favorable initiatives will result in high demand for RCA as this is cost-effective, readily available, and sustainable in nature.
Delta Sand & Gravel Co., HeidelbergCement AG, Aggregate Industries Management, Inc., Green Stone Materials, CEMEX, Vulcan Materials Company, CESPA, LafargeHolcim Ltd., CRH Plc., and Tarmac are prominent market players adopting diverse strategies to outwit the competition.
Manufacturers are focusing on creating sustainable values by providing recycled construction aggregates and other solutions to satisfy their clients’ construction requirements. Companies aim to provide customized solutions to clients to build long-term trade relations. In addition, they also emphasize the enhancement of their supply chains to increase their footprints. Hence, global expansion and building trade relations are key strategies being witnessed in this space.
