Abstract: Conventional cement is a primary raw material used to manufacture concrete, while the development of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) pollutes the environment and practices a significant amount of energy. Geopolymers have drawn a significant portion of interest and it has been anticipated to displace OPC shortly. Low carbon concretes such as Geopolymer concrete (GPC) have been developed because of the demand for ecologically and environmentally sustainable concrete for buildings and infrastructure. The current investigation presents the state of art summarization of GPC wherein the diverse factors such as geopolymerization process, mechanism cum functions of its ingredients, development using various industrial bi-products along with their properties, applications and current and future challenges have been presented briefly. This review is an attempt to offer substantial basic to advanced knowledge associated with GPC in comparison to conventional concrete, given the promotion of greener and sustainable construction. Apart from the above, the paper also contributes towards some of the current, and future challenges and solutions towards the GPC industry, economic considerations, and authors' inferences in generalized form covering the existing gaps related to the GPC construction. The 'systematic literature review' approach was followed using the 'PRISMA' paradigm to make the study more descriptive and the quantum of work on GPC was analysed using 'VOSviewer'. Most of the investigations carried out on the practice of GPC encourage the idea of its utilization as a greener material; however, a few of the differing outcomes were also parroted. In a nutshell, this review is a single-valued source of knowledge for the GPC that assists future concrete industry, practitioners, researchers, and readers of all domains as their reference for diverse applications.
