Cellular Concrete Market Report 2026

The cellular concrete market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $32.41 billion in 2025 to $34.5 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of building and construction activities, increasing use of lightweight backfill materials, rising demand for cost-effective construction solutions, expansion of road and bridge infrastructure, need for improved soil stabilization methods.

The cellular concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable construction materials, rising investments in smart infrastructure projects, growth of urbanization and residential construction, demand for faster and efficient construction techniques, advancements in foam and aerated concrete technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of lightweight construction materials, increasing use of cellular concrete in infrastructure projects, growing demand for flowable fill and backfilling solutions, rising preference for thermal and acoustic insulation materials, expansion of aerated and foam concrete applications.

The expanding construction industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the cellular concrete market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses the commercial activities involved in building, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. Cellular concrete’s lightweight nature helps reduce the overall load of construction materials and simplifies handling and lifting operations, while its high-density wall structure enhances fire resistance over prolonged periods. For example, in October 2025, GOV.UK, a UK-based government organization, reported that total construction output is expected to increase by 2.1% in 2025, 3.4% in 2026, and 4.3% in 2027. Therefore, the continued expansion of the construction industry is contributing to the growth of the cellular concrete market.

Leading companies operating in the cellular concrete market are actively pursuing the development of technologically advanced products to fortify their market standing. One noteworthy example is ACC Limited, an India-based concrete producer, which introduced 'ACC AEROMaxX' in March 2023 in Delhi and Hyderabad. This product incorporates a specialized mineral foam-based insulating technology into the concrete mixture during production. ACC AEROMaxX, designed as a superlight concrete, provides durable roofing solutions with built-in insulation during construction. The distinct mineral insulation foam, incorporating a cementitious slurry, ensures optimal thermal insulation by generating well-distributed air bubbles. With low densities starting from 300 kg/m3 and above, ACC AEROMaxX emphasizes consistent low densities derived from ACC's robust research and development expertise. The product strikes a balance between thermal insulation and structural efficiency, minimizing deadweight while ensuring full fire resistance, longevity, and sustainability.

In October 2025, Holcim Limited, a Switzerland-based supplier of cement, concrete, and advanced building materials, acquired Xella for approximately $2.16 billion (€1.85 billion). With this acquisition, Holcim seeks to strengthen its footprint in the cellular concrete and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) segment by incorporating Xella’s lightweight, energy-efficient walling and construction solutions into its portfolio, thereby advancing its sustainable and high-performance building offerings. Xella International GmbH is a Germany-based building materials company specializing in autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, calcium silicate products, and other cellular concrete-based construction systems.
