Scope-

Self-healing concrete is a relatively new technology that has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry. This type of concrete is designed to automatically repair small cracks and damage that occur over time, without requiring human intervention. Self-healing concrete is mostly characterized as the capacity of cement to repair its breaks autogenously or independently. It is additionally called self-repairing concrete. It seals the breaks as well as to some extent or completely recovers the mechanical properties of the structural components. Since concrete has a poor rigidity contrasted with other building materials, it frequently creates cracks in the surface. These breaks diminish the durability of the concrete on the grounds that they work with the flow of fluids and gases that might contain hurtful compounds. If microcracks grow and arrive at the reinforcement, not exclusively will the concrete itself be vulnerable to attack, but so will the reinforcement steel bars. Self-healing concrete was invented by Henk Jonkers; he was a teacher and microbiologist at Delft College of Innovation in the Netherlands. Jonkers began to making self-healing concrete in 2006.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global self-healing concrete market. The construction industry, which is a key market for self-healing concrete, has been affected by the pandemic in several ways. The pandemic has led to a reduction in demand for self-healing concrete due to delayed or canceled construction projects, disrupted supply chains, and reduced investment in the industry. Additionally, the pandemic has increased focus on health and safety, which could lead to increased demand for self-healing concrete in the future.

The global self-healing concrete market is segmented on the basis of form, application, and region & country level. Based on the form, the market is classified into intrinsic, capsule based and vascular. Based on the application, the global self-healing concrete market is classified into residential, commercial, infrastructure and industrial.

Rising Construction Activities, Increasing Investment in Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects, and Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Structure are Some of the Major Factors Driving the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the growth of the global self-healing concrete market is the rising construction activities. Service life of concrete designs is diminished by improvement of micro-cracks, which would lead repair and maintenance work of moisture, water, dust, and chloride particles into the construction, subsequently causing degradation of the concrete and corrosion of the steel support bringing about the requirement for standard and expensive repair and maintenance work. This has prompted increase in demand for supportable materials for construction like self-healing concrete, as most would consider being normal to contribute significantly to market revenue growth. Hence, demand of self-healing concrete material market is increased due to growing construction activities. For example; according to the U.S. Census Bureau, in July 2022, construction spending is about $1,777.3 billion. In 2020, the normal yearly development rate in buildings and construction across the world fall an expected 4%t from 2019 levels.

In addition, increasing investment in large-scale infrastructure projects is also supplementing the market growth. Improving economic condition of nations and expanding worldwide partnerships among market players have prompted quick infrastructure development, especially in developing nations. With rising investment in large-scale infrastructure projects, interest for self-healing concrete is supposed to increase quickly, and contribute market revenue development. For instance; as per the news published on September 13^th, 2022; Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) scientists Nima Rahbar and Suzanne Scarlata have gotten $692,386 from the Public Science Foundation (NSF) to improve and develop new capabilities for their Enzymatic Construction Material (ECM). It is a "living" minimal expense negative- emission construction material they made to address one of the biggest contributors of environmental change - concrete - by giving what they refer to as a pathway to repair or try and supplant traditional concrete in the future.

Furthermore, the growing demand for eco-friendly & sustainable structure also drives the global self-healing concrete market. Self- healing of breaks in concrete would add to a longer service life of concrete designs and would make the material more solid as well as more sustainable. Self-mending is really an old and well-known phenomenon for concrete as it has some regular autogenously healing properties. Feasible designs give environmentally friendly, increase the value of facilities, and improve the primary strength of structures. For instance; as per the Global Alliance for Building  and Construction Report; investment in the energy efficiency of buildings proceeds to climb and arrived at more than US$180 billion of every 2020, up from $129 billion (in 2020 dollars) in 2015.

However, high cost of self-healing concrete may hamper the global self-healing concrete market growth. In spite of that, rising number of product invention can provide various opportunities for the further growth of the global self-healing concrete market over the forecast period.

Europe is Expected to Dominate the Global Self-Healing Concrete Market

Europe is expected to dominate the global self-healing concrete market due to the growing focus on reducing carbon footprints, rising investments by companies and presence of key players in the region. Reducing carbon footprints from construction activities increases the demand of self-healing concrete market growth over the forecast period. For example; according to the European Climate Foundation, the building area should totally decarbonizes by 2050 and diminish its emissions by 60% by 2030 to meet Europe's environment responsibilities. Also, expanding investment in research by organizations in the region has prompted improvement of better and more effective self-healing concrete. For instance; in October 2021, a group of exploration researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and the Politecnico di Milano developed another self-healing concrete material that is super safe and is accounted for to be 30% more strong, and has a high return limit contrasted with ordinary concrete. The blend includes parts like glasslike added substances, alumina nanofibers, and cellulose nanocrystals, which adjusts the limit of self repairing the material.

The Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow faster in the global self-healing concrete market within the forecast period due to growing investment in large-scale infrastructure project and rising demand for sustainable construction materials in this region. For example; in 2021, the China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC) is an auxiliary of state-possessed China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) and has driven a few infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka, including Hambantota Port and Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport. It is presently building the USD 1.40 Billion Colombo Port City. Therefore, growing investment in large-scale infrastructure project drives the self-healing concrete market in the Asia Pacific region over the forecast period.
