Ready-To-Use Grout And Adhesive Global Market Report 2025

The ready-to-use grout and adhesive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.66 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in urbanization and population, rising consumer preference for sustainable construction materials, increased demand for tile and natural stone, and a rise in the construction sector.

The ready-to-use grout and adhesive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising consumer preference for sustainable construction materials, increasing urbanization, increasing brand endorsement spending to differentiate their products, increasing adoption of epoxy products, and growth in construction and infrastructure development. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations, innovations in product development, specialized adhesives for large tiles, digitalization and smart manufacturing, and collaborations and partnerships.

The forecast of 8.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by slowing construction projects, as pre-mixed grouts and adhesives imported from Mexico and Canada experience supply shortages, increasing renovation costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The expansion of the construction sector is expected to drive growth in the ready-to-use grout and adhesive market in the coming years. The construction sector encompasses the building, renovation, and maintenance of residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, including homes, offices, roads, and bridges. This sector is experiencing growth due to rapid urbanization, which increases demand for new infrastructure, alongside government investments in large-scale projects. Ready-to-use grout and adhesive products are pre-mixed solutions that enhance convenience and efficiency in construction, particularly for tiling and flooring tasks. By eliminating the need for on-site mixing, these products simplify the application process, reduce errors, and save time. For example, in May 2024, a report from The Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, indicated that total new construction orders rose by 15.9% in Quarter 1 2024, reaching $1.91 billion (£1,436 million) compared to Quarter 4 2023. Therefore, the growth of the construction sector is fueling the expansion of the ready-to-use grout and adhesive market.

Leading companies in the ready-to-use grout and adhesive market are concentrating on developing innovative products to enhance performance and address the increasing demand for sustainable, high-quality building materials. Ready-to-use grout refers to pre-mixed formulations that come packaged and ready for immediate application, eliminating the need for on-site mixing. For instance, in April 2022, Sika AG, a Switzerland-based chemical company, launched its innovative ready-to-use grout, SikaTile-Ultima Grout, intended for both interior and exterior applications, including areas exposed to intermittent wet conditions. This ready-to-use formula simplifies the grouting process, significantly reducing the likelihood of errors that can occur with on-site mixing. It also ensures a strong, durable, and complete grout joint, delivering professional results. This product notably saves time and labor for contractors, allowing for quicker project completion while minimizing maintenance requirements and contributing to long-term cost efficiency.

In August 2023, Sika AG acquired Chema under its umbrella brand in Peru for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to bolster Sika AG’s position in the growing Peruvian mortar market by enhancing manufacturing and distribution capabilities, creating cross-selling opportunities for complementary products, and expanding its Building Finishing portfolio to improve customer service throughout Peru. Chema Group is a Peru-based manufacturer of tile-setting materials and related additives, including ready-to-use grout and adhesives.

Ready-to-use grout and adhesive are pre-mixed products specifically designed for construction applications, particularly in tiling projects. Unlike traditional grout or adhesives that require on-site mixing with water or other components, these products are ready for immediate application, which saves time and minimizes the risk of mixing errors.

The primary product categories within ready-to-use grout and adhesives include grout and adhesives. Grout is a thick paste or mortar composed of cement, sand, and water, used to fill gaps or spaces between tiles, bricks, or other construction materials. It is applied in various settings, including walls, floors, and countertops, and serves a wide range of end users across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally.

The escalating U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to significantly affect the chemicals sector, which is facing a disproportionate impact - particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic alternatives are limited. Specialty chemical producers, who rely heavily on Chinese raw materials, are encountering production disruptions. Meanwhile, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing their profit margins squeezed due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are increasing investments in R&D for bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to strengthen purchasing power, and relocating production to tariff-neutral countries like Saudi Arabia.
