Paving and concreting equipment are used to perform tasks such as paving, grading, compacting, concreting, and supply and mixing of concrete on the construction site. Paving and concreting equipment find applications in the infrastructure, building, and realty sector. These equipment include compactors, pavers, and concreting systems and pumps. Rapid urbanization results in the development of infrastructure such as highways, railroads, and ports. This, in turn, leads to a rise in demand for paving and concreting equipment. Increased investment in real-estate development worldwide because of low interest rates and economic recovery is fueling the market growth.

Asphalt (also known as bitumen) is a strong, versatile, weather-resistant, and chemical-resistant material, which adapts itself to a variety of uses. Asphalt binds gravel and crushed stone (commonly known as aggregate) into firm and tough surfaces for roads, streets, and airport runways.Asphalt (combination of binder, filler, and aggregates) is principally used for the pavement of roads, sports areas, and parking areas. The majority of asphalt that is available commercially is a by-product of petroleum. However, asphalt is also

available naturally in concentrated form.

Coatings are products used to protect a surface and enhance its appearance. Nanocoatings are applied to infrastructure and buildings both residential and nonresidential. They protect buildings from elements such as moisture, UV radiation, and microbes. The acceptance of nanotechnology for different applications is expected to increase during the forecast period. This is because the technology can be used to address various performance and quality-based challenges that could not be resolved through other coatings. Nanocoating finds its applications for interior and exterior residential paintings, interior house furnishings, glass and facade coatings of tall buildings, coatings of automobile exterior and interior parts, and coating of various industrial buildings. Nanocoatings are also used for small applications in other industries such as electronics, consumer goods, and medical products.
