Abstract

Brick, briquette and aerated concrete are construction materials commonly used for wall construction in Türkiye. Due to their cement content, briquettes and aerated concrete cause more greenhouse gas emissions than bricks. However, in recent years, the share of brick in the construction sector has been decreasing while the share of briquette and aerated concrete has been increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the production and sales quantities and production and sales values of brick, briquette and aerated concrete in the manufacturing industry and to analyze their market volumes in the construction sector comparatively. Within the framework of this aim, the changes in the production and sales quantities and values of brick, briquette and aerated concrete were analyzed using the Annual Industrial Product (PRODCOM) Statistics database of the Turkish Statistical Institute. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there has been a decrease in the market volume of brick in recent years and this decrease has been reflected as an increase in the market volume of briquette. As a result, recommendations are put forward to increase the share of brick in the construction sector, which causes less greenhouse gas emissions than briquettes and aerated concrete. This study is expected to contribute to increasing the loss of market volume of brick in the construction sector by developing more sustainable production techniques and raising awareness in the sector.

Duvar Dolgu Malzemelerinin İnşaat Sektöründeki Pazar Hacminin Tuğla, Briket ve Gaz Beton Özelinde Analizi

Abstract

Tuğla, briket ve gaz beton, Türkiye’de duvar yapımında yaygın olarak kullanılan yapı malzemeleridir. Çimento içeriklerinden dolayı briket ve gaz beton, tuğlaya göre daha fazla sera gazı emisyonuna sebep olmaktadır. Ancak son yıllarda tuğlanın inşaat sektöründeki payı azalırken briket ve gaz betonun artmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tuğla, briket ve gaz betonun imalat sanayi içindeki üretim ve satış miktarları ile üretim ve satış değerlerinin belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırmalı olarak inşaat sektöründeki pazar hacimlerinin analiz edilmesidir. Söz konusu amaç çerçevesinde, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumunun Yıllık Sanayi Ürün (PRODCOM) İstatistikleri veri tabanı kullanılarak tuğla, briket ve gaz betonun üretim ve satış miktarları ile değerlerinin değişimleri analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, son yıllarda tuğlanın pazar hacminde azalma olduğu, bu azalmanın ise brikete artış olarak yansıdığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, briket ve gaz betona göre daha az sera gazı emisyonuna sebep olan tuğlanın sektördeki payını artırmaya yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın, tuğlanın inşaat sektöründeki pazar hacmi kaybının daha sürdürülebilir üretim teknikleri geliştirilerek arttırılması ve sektörde konuya ilişkin farkındalık kazandırılması açısından katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.
