Concrete Block and Brick Manufacturing Market Report 2025

The concrete block and brick manufacturing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.4 trillion in 2024 to $2.56 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to government affordable housing initiatives, industrial growth in developing areas, expansion of transportation infrastructure, an increase in reconstruction and renovation activities, and a rising demand for durable, fire-resistant building materials.

The concrete block and brick manufacturing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.27 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by urbanization and population increases, a surge in residential housing projects, expansion of commercial infrastructure, greater public infrastructure investments, and smart city development efforts. Key trends in this period include automation in block manufacturing, the adoption of 3D printing in construction, advanced curing techniques for faster production, integration of robotics and AI into manufacturing processes, and innovations in mold design to enhance aesthetic appeal.

The rising construction of commercial infrastructure is anticipated to drive growth in the concrete block and brick manufacturing market in the coming years. Commercial infrastructure refers to the essential physical systems and structures that support business activities and economic development. The demand for commercial infrastructure is growing due to rapid urbanization, which increases the need for office spaces, retail centers, and related facilities to serve expanding urban populations. Concrete bricks and blocks play a crucial role in these infrastructures because of their durability, which provides dependable structural support and reduces long-term maintenance costs. For example, according to the US Census Bureau in July 2025, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for public construction spending was about $511.6 billion in May, marking a 0.1% increase from the revised $511.3 billion in April. Hence, the expansion of commercial infrastructure is contributing to the growth of the concrete block and brick manufacturing market.

Key players in the concrete block and brick manufacturing market are prioritizing sustainable innovation to deliver eco-friendly and health-conscious construction solutions. Sustainable blocks are environmentally friendly building units produced using materials and methods that minimize environmental impact and promote resource efficiency. For instance, in June 2025, Star Cement Limited, an India-based cement manufacturer, introduced Star AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) Blocks. These blocks are manufactured in a fully automated, advanced facility featuring PLC controls and integrated network systems to ensure high production efficiency and precision. Automation also facilitates seamless packing, transfer, and direct loading onto transport vehicles, enabling fast and dependable dispatch.

In May 2023, Breedon Group, a UK-based construction materials firm, acquired Broome Bros. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition expanded Breedon’s presence in South Yorkshire and enhanced its potential for increased earnings. It also complements Breedon’s integrated business model by strengthening downstream operations and boosting the use of its own upstream materials to improve profitability. Broome Bros. is a UK-based producer of concrete blocks.

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.

Concrete block and brick manufacturing is an industrial process that involves shaping and compacting a specific mixture with specialized machinery to create uniform, durable building materials. This process generally includes mixing, molding, curing, and drying steps, all carefully managed to maintain consistency in size, strength, and quality.

The primary types in this manufacturing sector are concrete blocks and bricks. Concrete blocks are large, rectangular construction units produced by combining cement, sand, gravel, and water. The process uses various raw materials such as cement, aggregates, water, additives and admixtures, and fly ash. Distribution channels include direct sales, distributors and wholesalers, e-commerce platforms, retail outlets, and contractor supply stores. These products serve multiple applications such as structural construction, hardscaping, siding, fireplaces, and more across end-use sectors including residential and commercial construction, infrastructure projects, industrial uses, and landscaping or architectural developments.
