Global Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Demand by Type, Sales Channel, Company Share, Foreign Trade, Regional Demand, 2015-2035

The global Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) market has reached around 377 million tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.20% during the forecast period until 2035.

Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by-product of the iron blast furnace process. In this process, iron ore, limestone, and coke are reacted to a temperature of approximately 1500°C in the furnace. GGBFS displays unique properties like it is highly resistant to chemicals, salty water, freezing and thawing. When GGBFS is added to concrete, the property of concrete is improved. Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) improves the compressive strength, longer durability, and utility of concrete.

Based on type, Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) market has two types available which are, Alkalinity Blast Furnace Slag and Acidic Blast Furnace Slag. Wherein the major portion is held by Alkalinity Blast Furnace Slag with around 73% of the global market in 2021. The slag is helpful for longevity of concrete which promotes its strength and utility. Also, Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) helps as an insulating material.

The primary market drivers of GGBFS are the Portland Cement & Concrete Industry. In 2021, this industry held a market share of approximately 69% of global GGBFS market.
