Ready Mix Mortars Market Report 2026

The ready mix mortars market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $49.74 billion in 2025 to $53.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing adoption of pre-formulated mortars to improve construction efficiency and reduce on-site labor, increasing demand for waterproofing mortar in residential and commercial building projects, rising use of fire-resistant mortar in industrial and safety-critical infrastructure, expansion of polymer-modified mortars offering enhanced strength and adhesion, early use of thermal and acoustic mortars to improve building energy performance and comfort.

The ready mix mortars market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $69.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for ready-mix mortars driven by large-scale urban construction and infrastructure projects, increasing adoption of advanced additive technologies to enhance durability and sustainability, growing use of specialized mortars for green building certifications and energy-efficient construction, expansion of waterproofing and insulation mortars in climate-resilient building designs, technological advancements enabling improved performance consistency and longer shelf life for ready-mix mortar products. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of performance-enhancing additives for specialized mortars, increasing demand for ready-mix mortars in fast-track construction projects, growing adoption of waterproofing and fire-resistant mortars in safety-focused designs, expansion of pre-mixed dry mortar offerings to reduce on-site labor, development of high-durability mortars for industrial and heavy-load structures.

The growth of the ready-mix mortars market is expected to be driven by the increasing construction activities. These activities encompass the various processes involved in building, modifying, repairing, or demolishing structures like buildings, roads, and other infrastructure to create safe and functional environments. The rise in construction is mainly due to higher government investments in infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and public transportation systems, which are designed to stimulate economic growth and enhance connectivity. Ready-mix mortars are crucial for construction, as they save time by eliminating the need for manual mixing and material preparation on-site, enabling faster execution and greater efficiency. For instance, in November 2024, the Office for National Statistics reported that total new construction work in the UK increased by \$7,670 million (£5,628 million) in 2023, driven by growth in both the private and public sectors, with private new work rising by 2.1% and public new work increasing by 10.2%. Thus, the rise in construction activities is boosting the demand for ready-mix mortars.

Leading companies in the ready-mix mortar market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as ready-mix concrete to meet the increasing demand for faster and more sustainable building practices. Ready-mix concrete is produced in a batching plant according to an engineered mix design and is delivered to construction sites in a freshly mixed, ready-to-use form. For example, in December 2024, JSW One Platforms, the B2B e-commerce arm of India’s JSW Group, launched JSW One Concrete, a ready-mix concrete solution tailored to meet the growing needs of India’s construction sector. The product emphasizes superior quality, consistency, and on-time delivery, helping contractors and builders meet tight project deadlines without sacrificing quality. By leveraging the in-house resources of the JSW Group, including cement, GGBS, and chemical admixtures, JSW One Concrete offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for the construction industry.

In May 2023, Sika AG, a Switzerland-based specialty chemicals company, completed the acquisition of MBCC Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Sika's position in the global construction chemicals market by adding MBCC’s complementary products and technologies and broadening its geographic reach. MBCC Group is a Germany-based company, specializes in manufacturing ready-mix mortars.

Ready-mix mortars are pre-formulated mixtures of cement, sand, and performance-enhancing additives, produced in controlled factory environments and supplied in either dry or ready-to-use form. These mortars ensure consistent quality and uniformity across batches, helping to streamline the construction process by reducing on-site mixing time, minimizing material wastage, and improving the workability and durability of the final mix.

The primary types of ready-mix mortars include structural mortar, masonry mortar, grout, and others. Structural mortar is a ready-mixed compound used in construction to provide strong bonding and load-bearing capacity. It features various chemical properties, such as standard mortar, polymer-modified mortar, water-repellent mortar, and acid-resistant mortar. These mortars are used in applications ranging from residential and commercial construction to industrial development and infrastructure projects. They serve a wide range of end-users, including contractors, DIY enthusiasts, construction companies, architects, engineers, and others.
