Shotcrete is a construction technique where a mixture of concrete or mortar is pneumatically projected or sprayed onto surfaces, typically onto vertical or overhead surfaces. It is commonly used for various applications, including:

  • Structural Repair: Shotcrete is used to repair and reinforce existing structures such as bridges, tunnels, and buildings that have suffered from deterioration or damage.

  • Swimming Pool Construction: Shotcrete is often used in the construction of swimming pools, providing a durable and waterproof lining.

  • Underground Construction: Shotcrete is employed in tunnel construction, creating secure and stable tunnel linings.

  • Slope Stabilization: Shotcrete is used to stabilize slopes and prevent landslides or erosion.

  • Decorative and Architectural Finishes: In some cases, shotcrete is used for decorative or architectural purposes, allowing for unique textures and finishes.

Shotcrete accelerators are added to the shotcrete mix to speed up the setting and hardening process. They are particularly useful in applications where rapid construction or repair is necessary, or where the shotcrete needs to adhere quickly to the surface. These accelerators can be based on various chemical compounds, including calcium chloride or non-chloride alternatives, and they work by promoting the hydration and curing of the concrete or mortar mixture.

Alkali Free: The largest type in the shotcrete accelerator market

Alkali free accelerator is the largest type in the global shotcrete accelerator market, followed by alkaline aluminate and alkaline silicate accelerators. Alkali free accelerator is the newly developed shotcrete accelerator and has better mechanical properties than the alkaline accelerators. Due to the high alkaline nature of the alkaline aluminate and alkaline silicate accelerators, which cause hazards to health, alkali free accelerators are increasingly favored.

Liquid Accelerator: The largest grade in the shotcrete accelerator market

Liquid accelerator is currently the largest consumed grade of shotcrete accelerator. Liquid accelerators are favorable as these cause lower pollution than powdered accelerators and are convenient for overhead spraying of shotcrete. Liquid accelerators are better compatible with the wet process as compared to powdered accelerators. In the wet process, these are generally used for underground construction such as mining and tunneling, where the application of shotcrete accelerator is the highest as compared to other areas of application.

Wet Process: The largest process in the shotcrete accelerator market

The wet mix process finds usage in the mining and tunneling applications, which are the major applications of shotcrete accelerator. The wet mix process is the more commonly preferred process as it provides several advantages over the dry mix process. Some of these advantages are imparting superior quality to structures, providing safer working conditions, less rebound, less energy requirement, and low manpower required to carry out the process.

Europe: The largest market for shotcrete accelerator

The European region was the largest market for shotcrete accelerator, in terms of both, value and volume, in 2016. Europe is expected to be the largest market for shotcrete accelerators as the European construction industry is technologically advanced. The shotcrete accelerator market is expected to have ample opportunities in the Nordic countries of Norway and Sweden, as these countries are exploring new areas for mining. However, the European market has matured over the years and the growth of this region has slowed as compared to the rest of the world.

Shotcrete accelerator manufacturers such as BASF SE (Germany), Sika AG (Switzerland), Mapei Spa (Italy), GCP Applied Technologies (U.S.), Normet Oy (Finland), Chryso SAS (France), The Euclid Chemical Company (U.S.), Denka Company Limited (Japan), Basalite Concrete Products LLC (U.S.), and Fosroc (U.K.), are covered in the market report.
