Pervious pavement—also known as permeable paving or porous pavement—allows storm water to filter through the soil below the paved surface, reducing the numerous environmental issues associated with water runoff. The market is gaining popularity due to the modern construction industry’s growing concern for storm water management, in which porosity allows for rapid filtration and drainage. A recent trend in pervious pavements is that it helps reduce temperatures on and around pavements, reducing heat and its effects. Natural filtration of water through soil is the simplest way to control these pollutants and also acts as a major advantage of the permeable pavement. Other benefits include:
• Depletion of ground water level
• Reduced environmental impact
• Decreased hydroplaning and glare
• Increased visibility and traction
• Reduced noise
• Filtered-out pollutants that contribute to water pollution
• Reduced need for road salt
• Reduced construction costs for residential and commercial development by reducing the need for conventional drainage features
Moreover, many government agencies implementing storm water impact fees for all impervious areas, is driving the market for pervious pavement market.
The report has been analyzed based on the three segments of Material, Design & Application, and End-use in the regions of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (ROW)
On the basis of materials, it includes Pervious Concrete, Porous Asphalt, and Interlocking Concrete Pavers. The pervious concrete segment dominated the market and is projected to be the fastest-growing material segment due to factors such as rising urbanization and industrialization. By applications, the hardscape segment is leading the pervious pavement market. Hardscapes are highly exposed to rain and snow falls and the use of pervious pavements to build these structures offer superior utility with regard to reduced runoff and storm water management.
The North America market is expected to grow the fastest and projected to be the largest market size for pervious pavement. North America has gained substantial popularity and has become an integral part of low impact design and best management practices for storm water management. Permeable pavement designs to provide sufficient structural capacity to accommodate the anticipated vehicle loadings, manage storm water flowing into the surface and soil subgrade, as well water draining out of the base. Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow with the second-highest growth rate due to emerging economies such China, India, and the countries in the Middle East.
