An exclusive summary of the latest developments in the precast concrete industry in 2025

1. Fujian releases the country's first prefabricated staircase technical guideline
On June 23, the Fujian Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Prefabricated Concrete Staircase Technical Guidelines (Trial)", which clarified the lightweight and modular design standards for the first time, requiring graded control of the steel content of staircase components (91-151kg/m³), and optimizing the node connection process. The guideline promotes the standardized production of prefabricated residential stairs in the province, and is expected to reduce the construction error rate by more than 30%.

2. Shenzhen prefabricated component prices are publicly disclosed for the first time
In April, the Shenzhen Construction Engineering Cost Station released the March prefabricated component market reference price, showing that the tax-inclusive price of steel truss composite plates (C30) is 2276-2621 yuan/m³, and the prefabricated stairs (C30) is 2505-2728 yuan/m³. The price difference is mainly due to the steel content (70-225kg/m³) and additional process costs such as grouting sleeves. It is the first open and transparent local pricing sample in the country.

3. Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 36% of the global market
The latest data shows that the global precast concrete market will reach US$151.49 billion in 2025, with the Asia-Pacific region leading the growth with a share of 36.4%, mainly driven by large projects such as the Hanoi Smart City in Vietnam (32,000 cubic meters of residential component orders) and the second phase of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed ​​Railway in Indonesia (85% of bridge piers use Chinese precast technology). Chinese companies have compressed the delivery cycle to 15 days through the "domestic prefabrication + overseas assembly" model.

4. Prestressed seismic technology has been verified by major projects
China Construction Technology applied the Class III prestressed frame system in the Zhuhai Hengqin Financial Island super-high-rise project, achieved 9-degree seismic performance through hidden bracket connection technology, and increased the efficiency of beam-column nodes by 40%. This project is the first commercial building in the country designed according to the new version of the "Technical Standards for Prestressed Prefabricated Concrete Frame Structures", and the construction period was shortened by 25%.

5. Concrete release agent market concentration increases
The Betzers Consulting report points out that the global precast concrete release agent market leading companies (such as Fuchs, Sika, BASF) have a combined share of more than 45%, and water-based products account for 68% due to their environmental advantages. Chinese manufacturer Huizhou Kylint successfully entered the Middle East high-temperature operation market through a breakthrough in high-temperature resistant formula.

6. Hong Kong updates the Precast Construction Technical Committee
The Hong Kong Buildings Department reorganized the Precast Concrete Construction Technical Committee in February, adding scholars such as Professor Pan Zhisheng of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Professor Chen Ruibin of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, whose terms will last until the end of 2026. The committee will focus on revising the marine durability standards for offshore wind power bases and launching a certification system for assembly technicians.
