Polymeric Sand Market Report 2025

The polymeric sand market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $114.89 billion in 2024 to $124.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increase in residential landscaping, rising demand for paver-based patios, a surge in home improvement activities, limited availability of skilled labor for concrete work, and growing urbanization.

The polymeric sand market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $168.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of smart city projects, a growing preference for low-maintenance paving, the rise of outdoor living spaces, demand for sustainable construction materials, and growth in tourism-driven landscape developments. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in polymer binders, innovations in dust-free and eco-friendly formulations, product development for permeable paving, research in water-activated compounds, and integration with smart construction tools.

The growth of the construction and landscaping industries is expected to drive the expansion of the polymeric sand market. These industries encompass the planning, design, and creation of built environments and outdoor spaces, including buildings, pavements, gardens, and infrastructure. This expansion is primarily due to rising demand for urban infrastructure and outdoor living enhancements, as urban areas grow and homeowners increasingly invest in both aesthetic and functional exterior improvements. Polymeric sand supports these developments by providing joint stability, minimizing maintenance needs, and ensuring durable, erosion-resistant paved surfaces. For example, in July 2024, Atradius N.V., a Netherlands-based trade credit insurance company, reported that global construction output grew by 3.7% in 2024 compared to 2023, reflecting a 2% overall increase for the year. Consequently, the ongoing expansion of construction and landscaping activities is contributing to the growth of the polymeric sand market.

Leading companies in the polymeric sand market are focusing on innovation by introducing products that combine enhanced visual appeal with environmental sustainability, such as joint compounds in recyclable packaging. These products deliver modern finishes in trending shades while minimizing ecological impact through the use of recycled materials and reusable containers. For instance, in April 2023, Azpects Ltd., a UK-based supplier of landscaping products, expanded its EASYJoint Select range - a premium polymeric sand jointing compound - by launching a new Platinum shade tailored to contemporary porcelain and natural stone paving styles. Maintaining its ready-to-use, all-weather sweep-in application, the product continues to offer efficient, professional results. The line also supports sustainability goals with tubs made from 30% recycled plastic and fully recyclable packaging. Platinum joins existing colors such as Bronze and Jet Black, further reflecting Azpects' dedication to innovation, consumer choice, and environmentally responsible product development in polymeric jointing solutions.

In March 2022, Sika AG, a Switzerland-based specialty chemicals company, acquired Sable Marco Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The purpose of this acquisition was to strengthen Sika’s retail distribution presence in Eastern Canada and to broaden its product portfolio in cementitious materials and polymeric sand. Sable Marco Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer of cement-based products, mortars, polymeric sand, and other packaged materials.

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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Polymeric sand is a fine-grained material composed of silica sand mixed with polymer binders that, when activated by water, harden to secure pavers in place while preventing weed growth, insect intrusion, and joint erosion. This material enhances the strength, stability, and visual appeal of paver installations used in areas such as patios, walkways, driveways, and poolside surfaces.

The primary types of polymeric sand include jointing sand, paver sand, grouting sand, and others. Jointing sand is a fine granular substance used to fill the joints between paving stones or bricks, helping to lock them firmly in place, minimize weed intrusion, and reduce shifting over time. The available formulations consist of standard polymeric sand, colorful polymeric sand, and modified polymeric sand. It is applied in various outdoor settings, including pavements, parking areas, pool decks, auxiliary building zones, patios, and other exterior surfaces. Distribution channels include online retail, brick-and-mortar home improvement stores, wholesale distributors, and direct sales to contractors and landscaping professionals. The major end-use sectors are residential, commercial, and infrastructure.
