Expansion
joints are devices used to allow for heat-induced expansion & reduction
which takes place in various states of weather. The joints are designed to
absorb heat-induced expansion & shrinkage of construction materials, hold
parts together, absorb vibration and allow movement owing to ground settlement
or earthquakes. Expansion joints are placed in concrete to prevent vast cracks formed
due to temperature change. Concrete expansion joints are usually used to
prevent cracks when the concrete shrinks by creating tooling, forming, sawing,
and placing joint formers.
Some
essential characteristics are included permits thermal contraction &
expansion, located between sections of bridges, railway tracks, paving slabs,
and piping systems and incorporated to endure the stresses etc.

Based
on type, concrete expansion joint market is segmented into bridge expansion
joint, railway expansion joint, masonry expansion joint and pipe expansion
joint. Pipe expansion joint is necessary in system which convey high
temperature substances for instance steam or exhaust gases, or to absorb
movement & vibration. Based on accessories, market is segmented into
covers, liners, limit rods and particulate barriers or purge connectors. Based
on material type, market is segmented into rubber expansion joint, metal
expansion joint, fabric expansion joint, gimbal expansion joint, universal
expansion joint, toroidal expansion joint, in-line expansion joint, and
refractory lined expansion joint. Rubber expansion joint is used around
supporting drains, pillars and hydrants. Fabric expansion joint is ideal for
use on streets, airport runways, highways, flatwork, sidewalks, driveways, and
scores of commercial and industrial applications. Based on installation, market
is segmented into pre-concrete installation and after concrete installation.
Based on distribution channel, market is segmented into direct channel and
indirect channel. In addition, based on end-use, market is segmented into
slabs, buildings, bridges, pavements, sidewalks, piping systems, railway
tracks, ships, and other structures.
The
concrete expansion joint market is driven by increase in building
constructions, followed by rise in urbanization, increase in focus on
infrastructure & transportation development, growth in economies, rise in
production capabilities and increase in investments in development of smart
cities. However, low affordability in low-income countries and high cost of
technology may impact the market.
Based
on geography, the Asian-Pacific region holds major share in concrete expansion
joint market owing to rise in demand of building & infrastructure construction
in the region. The North-American and European regions are expected to witness
higher growth rate due to increase in technological advancements over the
forecast period. The global market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of
approximately 7.7% over the next five years, will reach US $1230 million in
2024, from US $790 million in 2019.
