Cement and Mortar Testing Equipment Market Report 2025

The cement and mortar testing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.61 billion in 2024 to $1.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expanding infrastructure development in emerging economies, increasing urbanization, a surge in residential construction, government-funded public works and road projects, and the expansion of the cement and concrete production industry.

The cement and mortar testing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.26 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing renovation and retrofitting of aging infrastructure, rising private sector investments in commercial construction, growing emphasis on quality assurance in construction, heightened awareness of material properties, and the rising adoption of non-destructive testing methods. Key trends anticipated during this period include the integration of digital sensors, the development of portable and wireless testing devices, the use of automation and robotics in material testing, the adoption of cloud-based data management for test results, and the emergence of AI-powered predictive quality control systems.

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 rising investments in infrastructure are also expected to boost the cement and mortar testing equipment market in the forecast period. Infrastructure investments refer to the allocation of capital for the development, maintenance, and enhancement of essential systems such as transportation, energy, water, and communications. These investments are increasing to promote economic development, meet growing demand, address aging assets, and achieve sustainability goals. Higher infrastructure investment fuels the need for quality construction, thereby increasing demand for cement and mortar testing equipment to ensure structural integrity and regulatory compliance. For instance, in June 2025, the House of Commons Library, a UK-based research and information service for Members of Parliament, reported that UK market sector investment in infrastructure in 2023 reached £13.8 billion ($17.3 billion in 2021 constant prices), with the majority directed towards the energy sector at $5.8 billion (£4.6 billion) and mining and quarrying at $4.9 billion (£3.9 billion). In 2022, government spending on core economic infrastructure was estimated at £26 billion ($32.6 billion), accounting for 34% of total government investment and equivalent to 1% of the UK’s GDP. Therefore, rising infrastructure investments are driving the growth of the cement and mortar testing equipment market.

Major companies in the cement and mortar testing equipment market are introducing innovative solutions, such as mortar weathering resistance testing, to improve the accuracy and reliability of durability assessments under real-world climatic conditions. Mortar weathering resistance refers to the material’s ability to endure environmental stressors such as rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and temperature fluctuations without deterioration or loss of strength. For instance, in October 2022, Lucideon, a UK-based materials testing company, launched the Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Mortar test, an advanced methodology for cement and mortar testing. This test replicates real weather conditions to evaluate how mortar withstands repeated freezing and thawing cycles, measuring strength and crack resistance to ensure long-term performance in cold climates. It also identifies material weaknesses early, enabling improvements in mix designs, and ensures compliance with building standards, supporting the construction of safe and durable structures.

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.

Cement and mortar testing equipment refers to specialized precision instruments designed to evaluate properties such as compressive strength, setting time, fineness, consistency, and durability of cement and mortar materials. These tools ensure that the materials meet the required quality standards for safe and dependable construction.

The primary types of cement and mortar testing equipment include compression machines, humidity cabinets, tensile testing machines, Blaine apparatuses, cement autoclaves, and bond strength testers. A compression machine measures the maximum force a material can endure before breaking or being crushed. The technologies employed range from manual testing equipment and automated testing systems to digital testing equipment and semi-automatic machines. These products are distributed through direct sales, distributors and resellers, online sales platforms, and retail outlets. Applications span across the construction industry, infrastructure projects, research and development, and quality control and assurance, serving end users such as construction companies, testing laboratories, educational institutions, and other related sectors.
