Global Formwork Market Definition

Formwork is the process of creating a temporary mold in which the concrete is poured and formed. The earlier formwork was formed using timber but there are other alternatives also available such as steel, aluminum, plastic, and other materials. The selection of formwork depends upon the type of concrete and the temperature of the pour as they both affect the pressure exerted.

The formwork sides should be capable enough to resist the hydrostatic pressure of the wet concrete which will diminish to zero within several hours depending on the rate of setting and curing. The base of formwork should be able to resist the initial dead load of the wet concrete and the dead load of the dry set concrete. Later when concrete gains sufficient strength the formwork can be removed.

Global Formwork Market Overview

Formwork is usually made up of steel, aluminum, timber, plastic, and other materials. It possesses strength that can tolerate the entire weight of wet concrete without any distortion. With the increasing building and construction activities, the Formwork Market will see favorable growth. The government is spending heavily on infrastructure development which in turn will create huge demand for formwork. Furthermore, with the growth of residential and commercial sectors owing to rapid urbanization and construction activities to revamp the old site, the demand for the Formwork Market is anticipated to get a huge boost. Formwork maintains the quality of construction work while speeding up the work.

The global market for formwork is anticipated to witness huge growth owing to the rising use of simple and reusable molds. Moreover, the construction of residential buildings is being done very fast to cater to the needs of the saturated urban population which will generate demand for formwork and in turn boost the growth of the overall global market. However, some restraints are limiting the growth of the Global Formwork Market. The concerns related to the lack of flexibility will create many challenges for the Formwork Market. Furthermore, the cost associated with the maintenance of formwork is very high which will hamper the growth of the Global Formwork Market.
