Fly ash, also called as fuel ash, is a Coal Combustion Product (CCP) and an important construction material that results from the combustion of pulverized coal in thermal power stations. It is mainly composed of oxide forms of silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, along with magnesium, potassium, titanium, and Sulphur in a lesser degree. The grade of fly ash depends on factors such as coal composition and combustion conditions. Fly ash when mixed with cement enhances the properties of cement and reduces cracking, due to this, the major share of fly ash is used in Pozzolan Portland Cement (PPC). The introduction of fly ash into concrete increases its flexural and compressive strength, improved pump ability, workability and consolidation. Further, the use of fly ash in concrete decreases the water requirements, thereby contributing to sustainable construction while offering improved efficiency and building performance.

The major drivers of the global fly ash market are rise in global constructional activities and expansion of road networks owing to surge in road traffic density. Projects such as Smart Cities Mission and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT), and infrastructural development works such as the China's Belt and Road Initiative to connect the important economies around the world, are anticipated to increase the usage of construction materials. On the contrary, the coal-powered thermal power stations are being regulated in an effort to control the global temperature. This regulation is expected to decrease the demand for fly ash, thus hampering the market growth.

However, focusing on increasing the applications of fly ash is expected to offer new opportunities for the market growth. For example, manufacturing of prefabricated building panels using fly ash as a raw material is an upcoming trend, mainly in India, where commercial production of prefabricated building panels is still under-developed.

The global fly ash market is segmented by class, application, end-user, and region. On the basis of class, the global fly ash market is segmented into class C and class F. By application, it includes Portland cement concrete (PCC), bricks and blocks, asbestos sheets, structural fills, soil and road base stabilization among others.
