Global Market Study on Construction Aggregates: Supported by Infrastructure Investments to Reflect Over 5% CAGR by 2021, Persistence Market Research

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction aggregates are a broad category of granular materials such as crushed stone, stone, and gravel etc., which find application in construction activities. Aggregates are the world's most mined materials. Aggregates offer resistance to wear and erosion, volume stability, and other desired physical properties to the finished product.

Crushed stones are an important type of construction aggregates, typically obtained by mining suitable deposits of rock and breaking down the obtained rock to preferred size by means of crushers. Crushed stones find application in road construction, railroad track ballast, as a binder in concrete, tarmac, etc. It also finds use in landscape design, for gardening purposes, as a mulch, and driveway pavements, among other uses.

Sand is typically a loose naturally occurring granular substance, which is obtained by means of erosion of siliceous and other rocks. Sand can either be obtained naturally through river beds or can be manufactured using certain machines. In terms of particle size, sand particles range in diameter from 0.0625 mm to 2 mm. Sand finds application in concrete, landscaping, and for making artificial reefs and islands, etc.

Gravels constitute rock fragments, ranging from granular to boulder-sized fragments. Gravels are often produced by quarrying and crushing hard-wearing rocks, including limestone, sandstone, and basalt. Gravels finds major use in applications such as concrete, road construction, etc.

Manufacturers and producers of construction aggregates are consistently investing in research and development activities in order to upgrade existing technology and to develop newer ones.

New trends such as manufactured sand and recycled aggregates, along with rising investment in infrastructure globally are driving the growth of the global construction aggregates market. However, high transportation costs, stringent zoning regulations, seasonal factors, and rising energy costs are expected to act as restrains to a growth of the global construction aggregates market.

The growth of the construction industry, increasing construction spending, increasing cement consumption globally, and rising GDP rates in developing economies are some of the other major market drivers.
