The earthen plasters market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size of earthen plasters has experienced consistent growth. A leap from $89.71 billion in 2024 to $93.7 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%, is anticipated.
The prior growth has been influenced by factors such as the increasing incidence of cardiovascular illnesses, an aging demographic, escalating chronic ailments, heightened awareness and education, and supportive reimbursement policies.
The earthen plasters market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of earthen plasters is projected to experience consistent growth in the upcoming years. It is estimated to amplify to $106.56 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%.
This growth over the forecast period is anticipated to be driven by factors such as point-of-care echocardiography, artificial intelligence integration, remote medical supervision and telemedicine, global health initiative, and progressive reduction in the size of devices. The forecast period will witness important trends such as collaborations and partnerships, emphasis on preventive cardiology, technological progress, consolidation with other diagnostic technologies, and advancements in transesophageal echocardiography (tee).
The growth of the earthen plaster market is likely to be spurred on by a rise in construction activities. The term "construction projects" alludes to the deliberate and managed attempts to construct or modify physical entities, buildings, infrastructure, and facilities. Earthen plaster, due to its natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly nature, is often employed in these construction endeavors. For example, an UK governmental statistical authority known as the Office for National Statistics reported in November 2023 that new construction work in Great Britain reached an unprecedented high of £132,989 million (about USD 143.47 billion) in 2022, indicating a 15.8% jump from the prior year. This surge was mainly due to substantial contributions from the private sector totaling £14,093 million (approximately USD 15.20 billion) and the public sector, which added £4,068 million (around USD 4.39 billion). As such, the rising number of construction projects is propelling the earthen plaster market's expansion. The earthen plaster market is anticipated to grow due to an increase in urbanization rates. Urbanization refers to the process through which a larger portion of a population begins to inhabit towns and cities, resulting in urban area growth and expansion as individuals migrate from rural regions to urban hubs. The demand for residential properties escalates due to urbanization, propelling the earthen plaster market that facilitates sustainable construction, using natural, locally obtained materials to enhance indoor air conditions, energy consumption, and shrink the environmental impact. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, indicated in December 2022 that the portion of the urban populace likely rose to 56.5% in 2021. Additionally, data from the U.S. Department of Commerce from January 2022 showed that the population in the U.S. was 332,403,650 in 2022, marking a growth of 0.21% from the previous year. Thus, urbanization's increasing rates are driving the earthen plaster market forward.
