Geopolymers are ceramic materials that are distinguished by networks of mineral molecules linked by covalent bonds. These geopolymers are classified as pure inorganic or hybrid (organic-inorganic). Geopolymers, like obsidian, can be chemically manufactured, but they also occur naturally. At room temperature, they have an amorphous morphology.
The rise in demand of the product for the repair and rehabilitation across the globe acts as one of the major factors driving the growth of geopolymer market. The increase in demand for geopolymer across diverse industries, owing to its heat and fire resistance, and use as substitute for Portland cement as a binder in concrete accelerate the market growth. The rise in the adoption of for various advantages such as high strength, low creep and acid resistance, ultra-porosity, low drying shrinkage, and utilization for repairing bridges, tunnels, roads, and in the rehabilitation of pipes and structures in the oil and gas, civil infrastructure, and chemical industries further influence the market. Additionally, research and development activities, high investment, rise in environmental regulations and emission strain on the cement industry, and rapid industrialization positively affect the geopolymer market. Furthermore, technological developments and innovations in the construction sector extends profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2019 to 2027.
On the other hand, lack of standard regulations and moderate growth of construction industry in developed economies are expected to obstruct the market growth. Lack of onsite flexibility is projected to challenge the geopolymer market growth in the forecast period of 2019-2027
