Global Soil Stabilization Materials Market Definition

Soil stabilization materials can be defined as additives/extracts that are added to the natural soil to increase certain properties of. Soil stabilization materials help in increasing the load-bearing capability, tensile strength & overall performance of soil. The soil stabilization process is defined as the process of modifying soil properties to improve engineering performance. Soil stabilization methods use stabilizers in weak soils to improve geoengineering properties such as compressibility, strength, permeability, and durability. Soil stabilization involves the mixing of special soils, cementitious materials, or other chemicals added to natural soils to improve one or more properties. Some of the materials used in the Soil Stabilization Process include quicklime/cement, and bitumen. Cement/Lime is widely used as a soil stabilizing agent.

The addition of cement to soil improves the strength of the soil. It is used for the sub-base and base courses of all types of pavements. However, due to the consequent wet and dry cycles, there occurs a degradation of the bonding between the cement and soil particles. Also, this is very costly in terms of financial viability. Lime stabilization improves the strength of the soil by imparting increased bonding between the lime and soil particles. This method is cost-effective as compared to cement stabilization. Lime is ideal for stabilizing clay soils. During the construction of driveways and parking yards, the soil can be mixed with bitumen compounds. Bitumen is sticky in nature and helps in holding the soil particles together. The bitumen structure forms a strong layer above the ground that prevents the absorption of groundwater.

Global Soil Stabilization Materials Market Overview

The rapidly growing construction industry is expected to drive the Soil Stabilization Materials Market. Growing government initiatives for infrastructure development and real estate investments have increased demand for the construction sector, which in turn is expected to increase demand for soil stabilization materials. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be a major Soil Stabilization Material in the coming years. India is expected to become the world’s third-largest construction market by 2025. Driven by the sustained demand for housing and supportive government policy, the residential buildings saw a strong rebound in 2021 and will see robust growth over the coming decade.

The residential sector is expected to grow significantly, with the central government aiming to build 20 million affordable houses in urban areas across the country by 2022, under the ambitious Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme. Thus, the expected growth in the number of housing units in urban areas will increase the demand for commercial and retail office space in the country. A number of rails, roads, dams, and bridges, among other projects, are coming into the country, which is expected to make it a lucrative market for Soil Stabilization Materials. The Indian Railways have taken up 189 new line projects.

The largest Soil Stabilization Materials in China is also expected to be a key revenue pocket for Soil Stabilization Materials providers. In Africa, roads, dams, irrigation works, schools, houses, hospitals, factories, and other construction works are coming up, which is also expected to boost demand for Soil Stabilization Materials in the coming years. Furthermore, the agricultural sector’s need for soil stabilization products will be driven by rising agricultural production and increased demand for improved agricultural yield.
