Urbanization refers to the process by which rural areas become urbanized as a result of economic development and industrialization. Stucco is extensively used as a building exterior treatment in regions of urbanization with high construction activity and dense populations due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. For instance, in April 2023, according to the World Bank Group, a US-based bank, reported that currently, more than half of the global population resides in urban regions. By 2045, this urban population is projected to surge to 6 billion, marking 1.5 times increase. Therefore, the increasing urbanization is driving the stucco market.
