The Indian brick industry has seen some major ups
and downs in the past decade. With a large number
of small scaled manufacturers capturing the major
part of the market, the industry remains to be an
unorganized and characterized by chaos. The
Indian brick industry, according to the market
size is the second largest in the world after
China. The major problem with the small scaled
manufacturers is their competition among
themselves just at the regional level, giving
market control to their own niche.

However, if we talk about the improvements seen
in the Indian brick industry, the industry has
seen a considerable growth in the past few years
and few main factors contributing to this change
are the increased number of infrastructure
projects across the country and the increased
construction activities taking place to cover it
up. Apart from this, an increase in the
population and the GDP has led to an increased
number of projects which has played the role of a
catalyst in the growth of the industry.

One of the newest additions or improvement in the
industry is the use of AAC blocks. AAC,
abbreviation for autoclaved aerated concrete is a
lightweight building material which is precast
under heat and pressure in an autoclave. Such AAC
blocks are good enough in comparison to the
conventional building blocks as it is more
environment friendly and economical as well.

Such blocks are trending nowadays for their
innumerable advantages over the traditional
blocks and are eventually leading to a reduction
in the total cost of cement and steel. The Indian
market witnessed the introduction of AAC blocks
long back in the 1970s however in the subsequent
decades, only 5 companies manufactured AAC blocks
in India. The AAC block market has seen a boom in
the past few years and grabbed a lot of attention
of the community due to its numerous benefits or
advantages and the market being more vigilant
about the environment. Despite seeing an increase
in the market cap, the AAC blocks industry is
still in its nascent stage. There are a few
players in the market dominating the overall
CAGR, such as Ultratech and JK Lakshmi cement.
The trend has been set up and AAC blocks will
soon cover the majority of the market.
