This guide presents the 2026 LCCG Market Benchmark update, based on data from the MPA accounting for approximately 55% of the ready-mixed concretes produced in the UK in 2025.This benchmark is ‘dynamic’ and changes as the embodied carbon of concretes available on the market changes; it is therefore useful for assessing concrete against what is available in the market.
