Polymer concrete is a composite material obtained by adding polymer to a cement sand mixture. Polymer concrete products find wide applications in the construction industry for making flooring material, pump bases, containment structures, sewer structures, etc. due to its beneficial properties such as high strength, chemical resistance, frost resistance, and moisture resistance. The global construction sector has been growing rapidly on account of rising urbanization rates, and increasing investments in infrastructure projects across both developed and developing economies. This rapid growth in the construction industry is expected to drive the demand for polymer concrete products significantly due to their robust characteristics and durability.

The global Polymer Concrete Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 916.03 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 42.% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics

Rapid Growth in Construction Sector
The construction industry has been witnessing strong growth over the past few years due to rapid urbanization, rising investments in infrastructure projects, and increasing global mega construction projects. According to the Global Construction 2030 report, the global construction output is projected to grow by 85% to US$ 15.5 trillion by 2030. Such robust growth rates in construction spending are expected to significantly augment the demand for polymer concrete due to their beneficial properties and suitability for outdoor construction applications.

Growing Demand from Construction Applications

Polymer concrete finds extensive applications in the construction of industrial flooring, containment structures, sewer structures, effluent treatment plants, and trench drains, owing to its high strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals. The rising repair and maintenance activities of existing infrastructure and surging construction of new commercial and industrial buildings worldwide are propelling the consumption of polymer concrete in various construction applications.

Segment Analysis

The global polymer concrete market is dominated by the infrastructure segment which accounts for over 35% share of the overall market. Polymer concrete finds wide usage in infrastructure projects like railways, roads and bridges due to its high strength, durability and resistance against water and chemical attacks. It requires very less maintenance and helps reduce the life cycle cost of infrastructure. The industrial flooring segment is another major segment in the polymer concrete market owing to its high usage in manufacturing plants, warehouses and other commercial spaces where high mechanical strength and chemical resistance is required.

PEST Analysis
