The rising demand for sustainable construction practices is anticipated to drive the growth of the cement and mortar testing equipment market in the coming years. Sustainable construction involves designing and building structures that minimize environmental impact and promote long-term resource efficiency. This demand is fueled by regulatory pressure to reduce carbon emissions, as governments implement stricter green building codes and climate policies, compelling builders to adopt sustainable practices to ensure compliance and avoid penalties. Cement and mortar testing equipment supports sustainable construction by ensuring materials meet strength and durability standards, enabling precise mix designs and effective quality control, reducing material waste, and extending structure lifespan for environmentally responsible building. For example, in July 2024, the U.S. Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization, reported participation in over 46,000 residential projects certified under the LEED green building rating system, with 2023 witnessing nearly a 5% increase in new LEED residential project registrations. Therefore, the rising demand for sustainable construction practices is contributing to the growth of the cement and mortar testing equipment market.

The growing investment in infrastructure is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the cement and mortar testing equipment market in the coming years. Infrastructure investment refers to spending on the development and upkeep of essential systems such as transportation, utilities, and public services that support economic development and societal well-being. Rising infrastructure investment promotes economic growth by enhancing connectivity, lowering transportation and logistics expenses, and generating employment through large-scale construction and maintenance activities. This increase in infrastructure development boosts the demand for cement and mortar testing equipment, as construction projects require consistent testing of building materials to ensure quality, structural integrity, and adherence to safety regulations. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that infrastructure investment reached £13.8 billion ($17.25 billion) in constant prices in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. Thus, the rise in infrastructure investment is contributing to the growth of the cement and mortar testing equipment market.

Leading companies operating in the cement and mortar testing equipment market are prioritizing the development of technological innovations such as automated concrete compression testing systems to improve testing accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in assessing material strength and performance. An automated concrete compression testing system is a computerized setup engineered to automatically apply and measure compressive loads on concrete specimens, ensuring precise, uniform, and efficient evaluation of their strength and quality. For example, in June 2025, Unit Test Scientific, a Malaysia-based manufacturing company, partnered with MyCRS, a Malaysia-based technology firm, to introduce the world’s first AI-powered robotic concrete testing system. This solution automates concrete strength testing by integrating advanced robotics and artificial intelligence to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and consistency. It provides fully automated, highly precise testing supported by real-time data and tamper-proof traceability. The system enhances construction safety by ensuring dependable quality control, while reducing human error and testing time. Additionally, it supports faster decision-making, increases laboratory productivity, and aligns with smart city and sustainability objectives to advance safer and more transparent construction quality management.
