According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Global Fly Ash Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% between 2021 and 2027. The study covers key market segments, including source (power plant and landfill/pond), type (Class F and Class C), application (Portland cement & concrete, bricks & blocks, road construction, agriculture, and others), and region.
Market Overview
Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants, is widely used in construction materials such as cement, concrete, and bricks. Its demand is closely tied to the cement industry, which has seen consistent growth even during challenging periods. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global cement production reached 4.3 billion tons in 2020, up from 4.2 billion tons in 2019.
This rising cement production—driven by growing infrastructure and construction projects—is fueling the demand for fly ash. However, low utilization rates remain a challenge, leading to environmental concerns and large disposal areas. Moreover, a gradual shift away from thermal power plants could impact long-term supply.

Market Segmentation Highlights
By Source
- Power Plant: Holds the largest share due to the high number of coal-fired power plants worldwide. Despite a global push for renewable energy, coal-fired generation rebounded strongly in 2021, driven by rising gas prices and increased industrial activity, particularly in China.
- Landfill/Pond: A smaller segment but remains relevant where older deposits of fly ash are recovered.
By Application
- Portland Cement & Concrete: Dominates the market, supported by the rapid expansion of the construction industry.
- Bricks & Blocks, Road Construction, Agriculture, and Others: Provide diverse opportunities for fly ash utilization.
Regional Insights
- Asia-Pacific leads global production and demand, with China and India generating massive quantities of fly ash due to heavy reliance on coal-based power.
- Infrastructure initiatives, such as India’s Gati Shakti Master Plan (US$ 1.3 trillion project), are expected to further boost demand.
- North America and Europe continue to focus on sustainable construction, supporting steady consumption.
