In view of developments in the plant-based concrete markets, FRD-CODEM is updating its 2019 study on the development potential of plant-based concrete in France to 2025. The objectives of the study are to answer the following questions: 

• What is the current state of plant fibers and aggregates that can be used in concrete?
• How are they positioned in the market and in construction systems?
• What are the trends in innovation and development?
• What are the horizons, conditions for success and levers for mass deployment?
• What are the orders of magnitude for price and environmental performance?
