Ready Mix Mortars Market Report 2025

The ready mix mortars market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $46.33 billion in 2024 to $49.74 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of urbanization, increased infrastructure development, growth in residential construction, rising renovation activities, and government initiatives aimed at promoting affordable housing.

The ready mix mortars market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $65.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including a rising awareness of green building practices, growth in the commercial real estate sector, increasing adoption of prefabricated construction methods, expansion of the retail and hospitality sectors, and greater investments in smart cities. Key trends during this period include the digitalization and automation of construction, integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM), advancements in packaging innovations, the development of self-healing and high-performance mortars, and the incorporation of smart technologies into construction processes.

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.

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.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

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.
