Carbon Capture Concrete Additive Global Market Report 2025

The carbon capture concrete additive market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $1.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rising focus on net-zero construction targets, growing preference for sustainable urban development, increased research and development efforts, wider adoption of green building certifications, and expanding corporate sustainability initiatives.

The carbon capture concrete additive market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. Growth in the forecast period can be linked to increasing adoption of sustainable construction practices, greater awareness of carbon-footprint reduction, rising investments in green infrastructure projects, expanding government incentives and subsidies, and growing demand for eco-friendly cement alternatives. Major trends expected during the forecast period include technological advancements in sorbents and catalysts, innovations in cement and admixture chemistry, research and development of low-cost capture additives, scaling up of integrated capture-and-utilization systems, and the development of standards and certifications for carbon-capture concrete.

The rising adoption of green building certifications is expected to drive growth in the carbon capture concrete additive market. Green building certifications are formal recognitions awarded to buildings that meet established standards for sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. The demand for such certifications is increasing as stakeholders, including developers, investors, and occupants, prioritize energy-efficient, low-carbon, and environmentally responsible buildings. Carbon capture concrete additives support green building certifications by sequestering CO₂ within concrete, thereby reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions and improving a building’s environmental performance. For example, in July 2024, the Green Building Council reported that over 46,000 residential projects earned LEED certification, representing nearly a 5% increase in new registrations compared to 2023. This trend underscores how the growing emphasis on sustainable construction is fueling demand for carbon capture concrete additives.

Key companies in the market are advancing innovations in low-carbon concrete to enhance sustainability and meet green building standards. Carbon-sequestering concrete is designed to capture and store CO₂ from the atmosphere or industrial emissions during curing, reducing the material’s overall carbon footprint. In November 2023, NCP Industries, a US-based manufacturer, launched a carbon-absorbing commercial concrete line powered by CaptureCrete technology. The product captures and permanently stores CO₂ from the environment, lowering greenhouse gas emissions while improving concrete durability and strength. This innovation allows construction projects to meet stringent environmental standards without compromising performance.

In September 2024, US-based climate tech company Carbon Limit Co. partnered with NCP Industries and Bison Innovative Products to scale carbon-sequestering concrete solutions for both commercial and residential construction. The collaboration integrates CoolCrete technology into building materials to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint by up to 40%, while also lowering surface temperatures to mitigate urban heat island effects. NCP Industries focuses on manufacturing advanced concrete solutions, and Bison Innovative Products specializes in carbon capture concrete additives, creating a synergistic partnership that supports sustainable construction and climate-positive infrastructure development.

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.

This carbon capture concrete additive market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A carbon capture concrete additive is a material incorporated into concrete that captures and stores carbon dioxide (CO₂) during the curing process or throughout the concrete’s lifetime, thereby reducing the overall carbon footprint of construction. It supports sustainability by enabling low-carbon concrete solutions without compromising strength or durability.

The key product types of carbon capture concrete additives include mineral-based additives, chemical-based additives, bio-based additives, and others. Mineral-based additives are natural or processed minerals introduced into concrete to improve its performance. These products are distributed through direct sales, distributors, online channels, and other methods. Their applications span residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects, serving end users in sectors such as construction, transportation, energy, and more.

The carbon capture concrete additive consists of sales of carbon-infused aggregates, carbon-sequestering fibers, and alkali-activated binders. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers.
