Demand for special concrete to rise due to climate change, market competition expected to intensify in South Korea

Concrete manufacturer Sammupyo Industries has developed "Bluecon Rain OK," the first special concrete in South Korea that can be poured even in heavy rain, and plans to start pouring it on-site within the year.
The need for special concrete is increasing due to frequent flooding caused by climate change. Until now, pouring concrete on rainy days was prohibited at construction sites.
On the other hand, Bluecon Rain OK can be poured into apartment buildings and other buildings even in rainfall of less than 5 mm per hour, and maintains its strength and durability.
The company has a proven track record of confirming this. Therefore, the use of this special concrete can shorten the construction period. In addition to Sampyo Industries, Yujin, a competitor, and Songshin Remicon, also
Other companies are also rushing to commercialize similar products, with each planning to release a similar product in the first half of the year. Special concrete is about 20 to 30 percent more expensive than regular products, but prices fluctuate greatly.
The market continues to grow because concrete can be poured regardless of the weather. In fact, one concrete manufacturer's sales volume for winter-use special concrete in 2024 is expected to reach 100,000 units for the first time in 2024.
This is a 5,332.6% increase compared to when the product was released in 2017.
