Self-healing concrete is a specialized type of concrete engineered with innovative features to automatically repair cracks that naturally occur over time, eliminating the need for external intervention. The use of self-healing concrete can result in improved durability, reduced maintenance costs, and increased sustainability in construction projects.
Biotic and abiotic are the two main types of self-healing concrete. Biotic self-healing concrete utilizes agents such as minerals, bacteria, and microorganisms to stimulate the healing process and repair cracks that develop over time. This type of concrete is available in different forms, including intrinsic, extrinsic, capsule-based, and vascular. These various forms have applications in a range of settings, including residential, industrial, commercial, and civil infrastructure projects.

The rising growth of the global construction industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the self-healing concrete market in the coming years. The construction industry involves various activities related to the planning, design, development, and execution of structures, facilities, and infrastructure projects. Self-healing concrete is utilized in construction to autonomously repair cracks and damage by preventing the progression of micro-cracks, thereby significantly extending the lifespan of infrastructure. For example, in July 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau, a government agency, reported that the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Thus, the growth of the construction industry is propelling the self-healing concrete market forward.
Key players in the self-healing concrete market are actively engaged in developing innovative products to better serve customers, including sustainable self-healing concrete with advanced features. Sustainable self-healing concrete possesses the ability to autonomously repair cracks and damage, enhancing its durability and longevity. In February 2022, JP Concrete, an innovative concrete products manufacturer based in Nottinghamshire, introduced Sensicrete. Sensicrete is a bio-based, self-healing concrete product designed to add value to JP Concrete's precast products. Utilizing a bacteria-based self-healing chemical, Sensicrete aids in the autonomous mending of fissures, contributing to the overall sustainability of the construction material.
