The Foam Concrete Market involves the production, distribution, and use of foam concrete, a lightweight, aerated concrete made by incorporating a foaming agent into a cement slurry. Foam concrete is used for its insulating properties, low density, and ease of handling. It is widely used in construction applications, including void filling, roof insulation, sound insulation, and sub-base for roads.
