Global Smart Concrete Market: Overview  
Smart concrete technology is a new alternative method for monitoring the health of 
reinforced concrete structures. It was developed Dr. Deborah D.L. Chung from State 
University of New York at Buffalo, U.S. The unique perceived benefit of smart concrete 
is that it is fortified by carbon fiber, which comprises as much as 0.2% to 0.5% of the 
volume. It can detect stress or strain in concrete structures before it gets too late. The 
smart concrete technology has undergone extensive laboratory testing, but is yet to 
hit the market.  
It works by adding a small quantity of short carbon fiber to concrete with a conventional 
concrete mixer to modify the electrical resistance of concrete in response to strain or 
stress. As a result, the contact between the fiber and cement matrix is impacted when 
the concrete is deformed or stressed, thereby affecting the volume electrical resistivity 
of the concrete. The strain is then uncovered by measuring the degree of electrical 
resistance. Smart concrete is capable of sensing miniscule structural flaws before they 
become substantial and hence find application in checking the internal condition of 
structures, particularly after an earthquake.  
In the report, Transparency Market Research provides a detailed analysis of the 
potential of the global smart concrete market. The report analyzes the different 
potential market drivers and restraints by gathering inputs from various people having 
in-depth knowledge of the technology.  
Global Smart Concrete Market: Trends and Opportunities  
One factor slated to contribute to the global smart concrete market is the widespread 
use of concrete as a composite material for various types of structures and its inability 
to withstand tension, resulting in cracks easily. This necessitates monitoring them for 
cracks so as to prevent them from getting worse by timely repair. This, in turn, helps 
to ensure safety and durability of various structures. Other methods to evaluate cracks 
are by attaching or embedding sensors into structures. Sensors, however, cost more 
to install. Smart concrete is relatively cheaper. This is another factor that would likely 
drive its market.

The supercharged growth in the smart buildings market in the upcoming years would 
also help in the quick uptake of smart concrete. This is because in addition to their 
basic functionality of detecting minor cracks, smart concrete also helps to arrest the 
progress of cracks in conventional concrete and reinforce them to make them stronger. 
Further, it takes a lot of force for smart concrete to bend, and it soaks more energy 
before fracture. Smart concrete can also have application in building highways for they 
would help in weighting vehicles plying on them. A highway constructed using smart 
concrete would be able to detect the position, weight, and speed of vehicles.

Global Smart Concrete Market: Regional Outlook  
The report studies the potential market for smart concrete by segmenting it based 
upon geography and then attempts to gauge the opportunity in each region. Advanced 
economies in North America and Europe, which have been at the forefront of adopting 
latest technologies, would likely emerge as prominent markets for smart concrete. Asia 
Pacific, powered by densely populated, emerging economies such as China and India 
where construction activities are being conducted full-throttle, also spells solid 
potential.  
Companies Mentioned in Report  
To present an in-depth assessment of the potential competition in the smart concrete 
market, the report attempts to gauge the strategies that would be adopted by players 
wanting to foray into the market. Leading companies operating in the global concrete 
and cement market would likely lap up the opportunity presented by the new 
technology to further enhance their product offerings.
