The autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) market size is expected to reach $25,816.6 million in 2027, from $17,142.9 million in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2020 to 2027. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a light-weight construction material which has 1/6th to 1/3rd weight of conventional concrete. It is also known as aircrete, foam concrete, autoclaved cellular concrete, autoclaved light-weight concrete, or porous concrete. AAC is manufactured using fine aggregate or fly-ash, cement, and an expansion agent, generally aluminum powder. This type of concrete mainly constitutes of around 80% air induced by the expansion agent to reduce the density and overall weight of the product. Further, AAC is available in form of building components such as blocks, panels, lintels, and others. These can be used for wall construction, floors & roofs, cladding, partition panels, and others.
