According to the UnivDatos, innovations such as robotic shotcrete application and improved pump technologies enhance application accuracy, reliability, and reduce labor costs. The market was valued at USD billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2024 - 2032 to reach USD 14.98 billion by 2032.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Shotcrete Market is expected to reach around USD 14.98 billion in 2032 by growing at a CAGR of 7.5%. Shotcrete is a progressive construction material that is used for different purposes in civil engineering works. Shotcrete is a concrete or mortar applied by pneumatic, portable equipment where the material is sprayed against surfaces and adheres due to the impact of a high-velocity stream. A professional name for it being Gunite or Spraycrete, it mostly appeals to a variety of construction situations including structural reinforcement and simple and great-looking colorful finishes.

Types of Shotcretes

1. Wet Mix Shotcrete: Here, all the ingredients, including water are stirred and then pumped through a hose to the nozzle. The wet mix provides flexibility, and since the material is kept moist during application, the level of dust that arises is minimized. It is more popular than the other used primarily because of its better characteristics on the bonding side and it also has low rebound loss.

2. Dry Mix Shotcrete: In the dry mix, the mixture is pumped through the hose and then water is added through the nozzle at the point of application. This method requires a highly trained operator to achieve the right mix at the nozzle and the rebound rate is normally higher than wet mix shotcrete.

Advantages of Shotcrete

ü Speed of Application: As a result of the application, shotcrete can be done more quickly than the other forms of concrete application which in the long end changes the pace of construction.

ü Reduced Material Waste: The high-velocity application reduces the amount of rebound loss (material that may rebound during spraying), maximizing the utility of the material used.

ü Versatility: They cohere well on a wide range thereof making shotcrete versatile to be used on a wide range of construction-related projects.

ü Strong Bonding Properties: Shotcrete has a reinforcing action chemically, and hence it improves the general bonding with existing materials.

Disadvantages of Shotcrete

ü Skill Requirement: The successful application depends on the efficiency of operators who are to operate the equipment and achieve the right mixing attitude at the nozzle.

ü Initial Costs: Indeed, some studies have shown that precast concrete elements construction reduces the formwork cost but the requirements for equipment and staff training can be higher than traditional methods.

ü Potential for Dust Emission: A factor that can cause problems during application, particularly with dry mix methods, is dust creation.

Recent Developments/Awareness Programs: - Several key players and governments are rapidly adopting strategic alliances, such as partnerships, or awareness programs: -

o  In February 2021, Sika launched a new recycling procedure for old concrete where old concrete is distributed into portions of sand, stone and limestone by a straightforward and efficient process, which also binds around 60 kg of CO2 per crushed material. With the brand reCO2ver, the renaming will considerably decrease the environment for the construction industry.

o  In April 2023, Holcim, a global leader in building materials and solutions, completed the acquisition of Duro-Last, a prominent manufacturer of commercial roofing systems. This strategic move is set to enhance Holcim's position in the North American roofing market

Conclusion

Shotcrete can be seen as a great leap forward in construction, as well as a flexible technology that can be applied across a range of civil engineering projects. This method of application also has the flexibility for swift deposition on intricate formations of surfaces and minimal consumption of the material in the process. Since construction and infrastructure industries are evolving around the world, it can be assumed that shotcrete will become a more valuable method for new construction techniques. Knowledge of its properties, types, applications, advantages, and drawbacks enables engineers and construction professionals to know the opportunities that this advanced material could offer in the next construction projects that they will undertake.
