Cementitious Grouts Market

Cementitious Grouts Market Size

The global cementitious grouts market size was estimated at USD 3.8 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 6.4 billion by 2034, with 5.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2034.

• Cementitious grouts industry worldwide is undergoing a structural shift with the increasing demand in infrastructure strengthening, geotechnical stabilizing, tunneling, and high-performance construction uses. As more investments in megaprojects go into Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Eastern Europe, the use of precision-engineered cementitious solutions is gaining momentum.
  
• Structural grouts which are known to dominate the market on a volume basis still exist because of their compressive strength and dimension stability. Nonetheless, chemical resistance modified cementitious grouts, especially the ones specifically adapted to shrinkage compensation, rapid set cementitious grout and seismic retrofit have recently gained the ground, especially in tunnel grouting and earthquake damage retrospective.
  
• Complex geologies are also seeing widespread replacement of regular cement grouts with microfine cement grouts, which are used in soil consolidation and repair of fine cracks. It is reported that these microfine variants are earning nearly 10% of the total cementitious grout market without facing any specific difficulties and are posing promising growth rates because of the capability of penetrating in ultra-fine pore space and enhancing substrate edging in geotechnical construction.
  
• The use of blended and polymer-modified cementitious grouts is rapidly gaining pace especially in situations where the grout is to experience even flowability and longer service life in severe conditions. These composites, frequently containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and special auxiliary additives are currently gaining cementitious grouts market share and as sulfate and chloride resistance becomes better they are also finding use in marine and offshore applications.
  
• Furthermore, advancement in the chemistry of admix is allowing new products that require less water, have less permeability and need to be cured at faster rates in accordance with the rapid urbanization plans. The application practice is also under the influence of digitalization, as the robotic grouting platforms with automation mixers are implemented in the high-precision construction of tunnels and dams in APAC and Europe.
  

Cementitious Grouts Market Trends

• The changing cementitious grout demand environment is experiencing a change due to the increased complexity of infrastructure requirements, heavy duty industrial floors and sub-base design in large span transportation structures. With major portion taking place in the Asian Pacific and Middle East region. Higher spend of the government on urban transport systems, bridges, and dig tunnels using hydropower have enhanced the demand level of non-shrinking, flowable, and quick-setting solutions in the civil engineering sectors.
  
• Sustainability-related product formulation innovations are also being determined by regional carbon intensity standards, with low alkali grouts or SCM-blended versions taking increasing precedence in low carbon-tax jurisdictions based on Western Europe. The procurement strategies have become more aligned with EN 1504-6 and ASTM C1107 compliance and the firms have adapted towards green public infrastructure by introducing bagged grouts with fly ash, GGBFS, or calcined clay. The entries of manufacturers like Sika AG and Holcim are harmonizing supplies side decarbonization standards with the introduction of cementitious products applicable in the LEED coursed constructions.
  
• The need to place microfine grouts at high pressures and low bleed demands in geotechnical and tunneling applications is also stimulating research investments in this cementitious grout, especially in the US, with current usage estimated to be 8-10% of total cementitious grout consumption and extensive application in deep shaft lining, diaphragm walls and fractured rock stabilization. Recent statistics indicates a boom in the usage of grouts involving particle sizes less than 6 micrometer, which match with ultrafine grouting criteria.
  
• The long-term shift of prepackaged dry grout systems is gathering speed among large-scale construction projects that demand mix-design concurrence, supply less inconsistency in-site batching, and ample labor-savings. The placement of these systems is in prefabrication yards, offshore wind turbine grouting and placement of bridge bearing plate among others where the reduction of the downtime is a key consideration during procurement. Indian and UAE regional results indicate that factory-controlled, ready-to-use cementitious grout systems with rheology modifiers and plasticizing agents are also becoming more preferred.
