The construction elastomers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the market size for construction elastomers has experienced robust growth. The market, valued at $6.27 billion in 2024, is anticipated to surge to $6.82 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
Factors such as urbanization, energy efficiency, weather resistance, sustainable construction, and infrastructure development have contributed to this growth during the historic period.
The construction elastomers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It is predicted that the construction elastomers market will experience significant expansion in the ensuing years, expected to reach $9.84 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%.
Factors propelling the growth during the forecast period include the requirement for resilient and disaster-resistant structures, energy-conserving green buildings, innovative smart building technologies, renovation of aging infrastructure, and revitalization of urban areas. The future trends contributing to the growth during this period are seismic resilience, innovative cool roof systems, self-restoring elastomers, 3D printing and customization, along with elastomeric roof coverings.
Anticipated market growth in the construction elastomer industry is primarily driven by the rise in demand for sustainable buildings during the forecast period. The purpose of green construction is to mitigate the sector's environmental impact through the application of sustainable developmental practices, heightened energy efficiency, and the use of eco-friendly technologies. Construction elastomers, known for being environmentally friendly, renewable and safe for both residential and non-residential uses, are poised to benefit from this trend. As indicated by a recent study by the World Green Building Council in 2023, there has been a significant surge in the demand for sustainable buildings. The report highlighted that 71% of respondents globally have seen an increased demand for green buildings, and this figure rises to 75% for professionals based in Europe. Even in regions like the Middle East and Africa, where the demand growth rate was lowest, around 39% of survey participants reported an uptick in demand. This trend has the potential to significantly boost the demand for construction elastomers and stimulate the market's growth.
