Current Challenges in Self Leveling Concrete Market
The self leveling concrete market is facing challenges such as rising raw material costs, availability of substitutes at lower costs and lack of skilled workforce. Cement and aggregate prices have increased substantially over the past year putting pressure on profit margins of manufacturers. Products such as conventional concrete and tile flooring can be used as substitutes at lower costs. There is also shortage of trained masons and professionals who can properly lay and finish self leveling concrete floors, especially in developing regions. This increases installation costs and delays construction schedules.
