North America Fly Ash Market

Market Introduction

North America comprises major economies such as the US and Canada. The fly ash market in North America is expected to witness a notable growth in the coming years owing to the rising utilization of fly ash in concrete, growing construction sector, and increasing recycling rates of fly ash. According to the American Coal Ash Association, 52% of the coal ash generated in the US was recycled in 2019.  More than half of the coal ash produced was beneficially utilized rather than disposed. The use of coal fly ash in concrete is steadily growing in the region. Fly ash enhances the strength and durability of concrete. Therefore, producers and users of concrete across the region have been increasingly employing fly ash for constructing residential and commercial building. The construction industry in North America is one of the major contributors to the region’s economy. According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), the US construction industry creates US $1.4 trillion worth of structures annually. Rising construction activities owing to increasing population and rapidly growing commercial sector across the region are driving the growth of the construction sector in North America. Fly ash is extensively used in Portland cement and concretes. Moreover, rising concerns related to environmental sustainability across the region are driving the utilization of fly ash in various applications such as building and construction, road embankments, soil stabilization, etc. These factors are bolstering the growth of the North America fly ash market. The presence of prominent fly ash manufacturers such as Salt River Materials Group; Boral; Charah Solutions, Inc.; Holcim; and Titan America, LLC. is also contributing significantly to the market growth. The players are ensuring smooth supply of fly ash across the North American construction industry and encouraging the utilization of fly ash for other promising application, such as flyover and highway embankment, soil stabilization, and wastewater treatment. Such factors are projected to boost the regional market growth during the forecast period.

In case of COVID-19, North America is highly affected specially the US. The unprecedented rise in the number of COVID-19 cases across the US and Canada and the subsequent lockdown of numerous manufacturing facilities in the countries have negatively influenced the growth of the various markets. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), US coal production fell to its lowest level since 1965 in 2020 due to low worldwide demand after the COVID-19 pandemic. This has impacted the fly ash market in the region. Moreover, the construction industry has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. The construction industry has faced supply chain issues in terms of the supply of construction materials. However, the market is reviving on account of the government's significant measures such as vaccination drives. The construction industry is also overcoming the challenges of supply chain disruptions of their raw materials. This is expected to provide the impetus for market growth.

The North America fly ash market is expected to grow from US$ 3,807.15 million in 2021 to US$ 5,231.50 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028. There is a rising inclination toward sustainable and green construction activities using more resource-efficient construction methods, including the usage of alternative materials. Various industrial materials replace non-renewable materials, conserve natural resources, and reduce pollution and energy consumption. Power & heating plants produce massive amounts of waste material. Fly ash is a byproduct of the coal-burning power industry. It is used in various applications, such as concrete and cement, manufacturing bricks and blocks, and road embankments. Concrete, a well-known building material, uses cement. Cement manufacturing is a very energy-intensive process. Moreover, there has been a growing concern about the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the GHG that people are most concerned of. Cement production is highly responsible for carbon dioxide emissions. Fly ash can be used as a substitute for some of the cement in concrete to make it more sustainable with reduced emission of CO2 and less impact on the environment and energy. The use of fly ash in concrete also reduces the amount of heat generated in the concrete mass. Additionally, the water demand is reduced with the incorporation of fly ash in concrete. Furthermore, the use of fly ash in the manufacture of bricks provides an opportunity to manage the increasingly generated fly ash and reduce the environmental footprint. Hence, the increasing use of fly ash in producing green building materials, owing to the rising inclination towards sustainable and green constructions, is expected to offer more growth opportunities for the North America market in the coming years.
