- Fly ash is a fine, powdery material that is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. It is composed primarily of silica, alumina, and iron, along with other trace elements.
- During combustion, the inorganic minerals in the coal fuse together and are carried away from the combustion chamber by flue gases. As the gases cool, the fly ash particles solidify and can be collected from the exhaust
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the fly ash market due to rapid industrialization and urbanization
- Europe is expected to be the fastest growing region in the fly ash market during the forecast period due to increasing emphasis on sustainable construction materials and practices
- Cement and concrete segment is expected to dominate the market with a market share due to the ash is widely used in cement applications as the construction sector is registering healthy growth, and the demand for cement is increasing at a fast pace. The usage of cement concrete improves the concrete performance in both fresh and hardened states
