Decorative Concrete Market Report 2026

The decorative concrete market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.27 billion in 2025 to $19.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of decorative concrete in residential projects, growing demand for durable surface materials, expansion of commercial construction activities, early adoption of staining and coloring technologies, rising preference for low-maintenance building finishes.

The decorative concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in concrete treatment technologies, rising investment in sustainable building materials, growing renovation and retrofitting activities, expansion of custom design options, increasing integration of digital tools for concrete finishing. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for aesthetic surface enhancements, rising adoption of polished and colored concrete in commercial spaces, increased use of concrete overlays for renovation projects, expansion of customization options in decorative finishes, advancements in staining, texturing, and etching techniques.

The rising pace of industrialization is anticipated to fuel the growth of the decorative concrete market in the coming years. Industrialization refers to the transformation of an economy from one largely dependent on agriculture and handicrafts to one driven by large-scale manufacturing, advanced technological infrastructure, and mass production of goods. Industrialization is expanding due to rapid urbanization, which increases the need for infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and services to support growing cities and populations. Industrialization results in a significant rise in construction activities, particularly in commercial and industrial facilities. Decorative concrete, valued for its durability and aesthetic flexibility, has become a preferred option for flooring and surface applications in these environments. For instance, in July 2025, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported that industrial production in May 2025 increased by 3.7% in the euro area and by 3.4% across the European Union (EU) compared to May 2024. Therefore, the accelerating industrialization is contributing to the growth of the decorative concrete market.

Major companies operating in the decorative concrete market are emphasizing the development of advanced formulations, such as next-generation grout technologies, to enhance durability, color uniformity, and application efficiency. Next-generation grout technology is designed to deliver improved performance by offering better color precision, stain resistance, and simplified installation, while also reducing waste and ensuring long-lasting aesthetic quality. For instance, in May 2023, Laticrete, a US-based provider of construction solutions, announced enhancements to its Permacolor Select and Permacolor Grout product ranges. The upgraded Permacolor Select offers increased stain resistance, improved color consistency, and a smoother texture for easier application, ensuring uniform results across different conditions. Similarly, Permacolor Grout has been reformulated to provide greater workability and durability while maintaining its strength and performance characteristics, making it suitable for decorative concrete applications in both residential and commercial settings.

In July 2025, Saint-Gobain, a France-based provider of construction materials and solutions for sustainable building and industrial applications, acquired Interstar Materials Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Saint-Gobain seeks to strengthen its presence in the North American decorative concrete market and broaden its portfolio of high-value additives and color solutions for the concrete sector. Interstar Materials Inc. is a Canada-based manufacturer of concrete coloring systems and specialty additives used in decorative, precast, and ready-mix concrete applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the decorative concrete market by increasing the cost of imported raw materials, pigments, epoxy resins, and application equipment, thereby adding pressure on production and installation expenses. These impacts are most significant for concrete overlays, colored concrete, epoxy concrete, and polished concrete segments, particularly in regions dependent on imports such as Asia-Pacific and parts of Europe. While tariffs may slow project execution and raise pricing volatility, they also create positive effects by encouraging local material sourcing, stimulating domestic manufacturing capacity, and promoting supply chain resilience within the decorative concrete ecosystem.
