Ready Mix Concrete Market Report 2026

The ready mix concrete market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $930.86 billion in 2025 to $992.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of standardized concrete mixes, early expansion of large infrastructure projects, rising mechanization in construction processes, growth in commercial and residential building activity, development of modern batching technologies.

The ready mix concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.33 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for sustainable concrete formulations, increased focus on energy-efficient production, rising. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of automated batching systems, increased demand for high-performance concrete mixes, adoption of quality monitoring tools, expansion of on-site delivery optimization, rise of custom mix formulations.

The ready-mix concrete market is poised for growth, primarily fueled by the surging demand for infrastructure maintenance and repairs. Infrastructure maintenance and repairs encompass a range of activities focused on the upkeep, construction, or restoration of various infrastructure elements, including irrigation systems, roads, pathways, buildings, fences, and walls, among others. Ready-mix concrete plays a pivotal role in sustaining and rejuvenating infrastructure by addressing issues such as repairing and renovating buildings, roads, and bridges. It is frequently employed for tasks like repairing cracked concrete structures, filling potholes, and restoring damaged concrete surfaces. For example, in May 2025, the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), a UK-based government department, reported that total repair, maintenance, and improvement (RM&I) activity in the construction sector is projected to grow by 4.2% in 2024, 3% in 2025, and 2.8% in 2026. Consequently, the escalating demand for infrastructure maintenance and repairs is a significant driver behind the expansion of the ready-mix concrete market.

Leading companies in the ready-mix concrete market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, such as pre-blended mixtures, to maintain their competitive standing. A pre-blended mixture comprises a combination of multiple elements that have been pre-mixed to form a single, integrated ingredient. For instance, in March 2023, ACC Limited, a prominent Indian manufacturer of cement and ready-mixed concrete, introduced Bagcrete, an inventive concrete solution consisting of a pre-blended mixture of cement, sand, and aggregates. Bagcrete has been engineered with a focus on delivering compressive strength ranging from 10 MPa to 80 MPa, retaining workability, and offering convenience in application. This unique concrete solution enhances productivity by being conveniently packaged in bags, making it particularly suitable for remote construction sites and maintenance projects. ACC Bagcrete is available in two variants such as dry-mix, which is pre-blended concrete requiring only the addition of water for immediate use, and wet-mix, a ready-to-use concrete blend that eliminates the need for further mixing before application.

In May 2025, Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete LLC, a U.S.-based ready-mix concrete manufacturer, acquired JW Ready Mix & Construction, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, SRM Concrete aims to expand its geographic presence in Northern Indiana and enhance its production capacity by incorporating JW Ready Mix & Construction’s two batch plants in Atwood and Osceola, Indiana. JW Ready Mix & Construction Inc., based in the U.S., specializes in providing ready-mix concrete products and related services.

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 ready-mix concrete market by raising costs for imported cement additives, aggregates, mixing equipment, and transportation machinery used in large-scale construction. These pressures are most significant in regions relying heavily on imported raw materials or machinery, particularly infrastructure-heavy markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Nonetheless, tariffs are also prompting domestic sourcing, encouraging localized aggregate production, and supporting investment in regional concrete manufacturing capacity, which may strengthen long-term supply resilience.

Ready-mix concrete is a pre-made mixture of cement, aggregates, water and additives delivered to construction sites for immediate use in various building projects. The use of ready-mixed concrete ensures consistent quality and eliminates the need for on-site mixing, making it an efficient choice for construction projects of all sizes.

The main types of ready-mix concrete are transit mix concrete, central mix concrete and shrink mix concrete. Transit mix concrete is a type of concrete mixture that is pre-mixed in a central plant and transported to the construction site in specially designed trucks. The types of mixtures involved are volumetric and barrel truck or in-transit mixer. These can be delivered through on-site and off-site delivery models for several applications, including commercial, residential, infrastructure and industrial utilities.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the ready-mix concrete market in 2025.
