Translucent Concrete Market

Translucent Concrete Market: Introduction

• Translucent concrete is a concrete based building made with material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other; therefore, the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results in a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Translucent concrete is used in fine architecture as a façade material and for cladding of interior walls. Translucent concrete is also applied to several design products.

Key Drivers of the Global Translucent Concrete Market

• Rising demand for reconstruction from urban areas in developed and emerging economies is driving the translucent concrete market. Growing infrastructure projects in both developed and emerging economies has also been influencing the demand for enhanced aesthetical looks. Increasing consumer spending and demand for aesthetical and decorative buildings has increased the demand for translucent concrete, which is projected to propel the market.
• Translucent concrete blocks that are used for floors look like normal concrete blocks during the daytime, but shines in the dark due to an illumination installed beneath the blocks. Translucent concrete blocks in flooring applications in commercial building floorings, restaurant floorings, residential floorings, and footpaths or walking tracks in gardens and staircases fulfils aesthetical requirements. This is projected to fuel the demand for translucent concrete in the coming years, subsequently helping the market to grow globally.

Factors Restraining the Global Translucent Concrete Market

• Initial high cost, lack of information, and fluctuations in raw material prices are major factors that can hinder the growth of the translucent concrete market.
