NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Shotcrete/sprayed
concrete is a specialty concrete material applied by spraying
through a sealed, pressure-resistant hose or pipe. Shotcrete is a
cost-effective method for applying concrete as formwork is not
required. Shotcrete exhibits certain properties, such as high
strength, low permeability, and high durability that make it
superior to poured concrete. It can be used in a wide variety of
constructions particularly those which are free formed, such as
swimming pools, landscaping, zoo structures, and theme parks. It is
also used in new construction, underground construction, water
retaining structures, protective coatings, and strengthening and
repair.
Globally, Europe is the leader of
the sprayed concrete market with respect to demand as well as
production capacity, and is witnessing steady growth due to the
increasing demand for underground transportation. Germany is the biggest market of sprayed
concrete in Europe, and accounted
for 19.5% share of the European market in 2014.
Extensive usage of advanced shotcrete processes, such as wet-mix
and dry-mix concrete process for high output capacity, concrete
repairs, and preliminary sealing against water in leakages.
Various raw materials used in shotcrete mix design include cement,
aggregates, additives (fly-ash, silica-fume), fibers, admixtures
(accelerator, plasticizer, and retarder), and water. In dry-mix
process, water is added at the nozzle while spraying. The water
flow can be controlled manually by nozzleman based on the surface
of application. In wet-mix process, ready-mix concrete is used
where air is added at the nozzle for stream control.
This study estimates the market size by value and volume for
shotcrete and projects the same by 2020. As a part of qualitative
analysis, the research provides a comprehensive review of key
market drivers, restraints, opportunities, burning issues, and
