The global shotcrete market was valued at $5.6 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $10.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2030.
Shotcrete is a technique used to pneumatically spray concrete through a hose at high velocity onto the surface. Increase in underground construction activities, rise in economic development, urbanization, surge in underground transport, growth in shotcrete technological efficiency, and increase in mining & tunneling activities drive the growth of the market. In addition, increase in the construction of free-form structures, including sculptures, theme park elements, climbing walls, and water-retaining structures, including river & sea-walls, dams, storage reservoirs, swimming pools, canal lines, and water towers, are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, shotcrete concrete producers continuously develop new technologies and advanced shotcrete concrete application equipment, driving the demand for shotcrete concrete during the forecast period. Shotcrete is very flexible construction material that can be conveniently placed and used for a range of concrete repair applications. Concrete repairs are considered most reliable and inexpensive solution, due to the fact that certain repair applications do not need shape function. In addition, rendering the conventional trowel is impractical and expensive compared to concrete spraying, due to the fact that corrosion of concrete observed on wide vertical surfaces. Shotcrete restore lines and walls of canals, rivers, road bridges, tunnels and natural rock walls..
The major restraint observed in the growth of shotcrete concrete market is shortage of skilled labor for various construction activities. All commercial and residential builders face shortage of labor. Many skilled construction workers left the industry during recession. Individuals who enter as labor do not work in the field of construction. The problem has reached such a wide scale that the stunted growth in the industry has caused the builders financial problems. Thus, shortage of labor hinder the growth of the market in the forecast period.
Some of the construction operations were ceased, owing to unavailability of migrant labor during the pandemic, which, in turn, hinders the growth of the shotcrete concrete market.
The global shotcrete market is segmented on the basis of technique, system, application, equipment, and region.
Depending on the technique, it is divided into wet mix and dry mix. According to the system, it is categorized into manual and robotic spraying. As per the application, it is categorized into underground construction, water retaining structures, protective coatings, and repair works. On the basis of equipment, it is segregated into general equipment, inground swimming pool auxiliary equipment, and special equipment. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Europe is the leading region in terms of demand for shotcrete and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.

Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Shotcrete Market,' the shotcrete market was valued at $5.6 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $10.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.91% from 2021 to 2030.global shotcrete market is significantly expanding, owing to rapid surge in construction activities, including development of smart cities, metropolis, industrialization, bridges, and underground structures. Shotcrete, also known as sprayed concrete, is an efficient technique of spraying concrete onto free form surfaces and complex structures, including tunnels. Various benefits offered by shotcrete process incudes durability, high tensile strength, low permeability, thermal efficiency, and fire retardation. It is commonly used in repair works for repair of fire and earthquake damage and deteriorated surfaces, encasing structural steel for fireproofing, and strengthening walls. High efficiency offered by shotcrete process, due to the fact that it is economical. It requires less formwork compared to conventional concrete method. This factor drives the shotcrete demand. In shotcrete process the cement content is high which makes it more durable. Shotcrete process resists freezing and thawing. Shotcrete offers sustainability, owing to higher percentage of recycled material and presence of high thermal mass, which helps in development of energy-efficient structures. In addition, shotcrete eliminates the need for engineered concrete footings for one-sided wall bracing, due to which no formwork is required. In addition, this process facilitates architectural creativity, which is otherwise price prohibitive or infeasible.
Shotcrete process requires skilled labor or nozzle man for the concrete spraying process to obtain the maximum efficiency as the water to cement ratio must be maintained accurately. The presence of excess water can compromise the quality of concrete that leads to reduced strength and durability which is expected to hamper shotcrete market growth.
It is widely used method for construction of free form surfaces that are difficult to construct using conventional cast-in-place concrete technique. The construction of thin overhead vertical or horizontal surface such as canal, reservoir, tunnel lining, or folded sections drive the growth of shotcrete market. In addition, it is used on stabilization of rock slopes, construction of pre-stressed tanks, water retaining structures, and swimming pools. It plays a vital role in offering protection against long-term corrosion of piling, steel building frames, oil tanks, coal bunker, as well as for encasing structural steel for fireproofing. In addition, it is used in high temperature applications, including refractory lining of chimneys, furnaces, and kilns. The presence of above mentioned applications are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the forecast period.
