The low-carbon concrete market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.14 billion in 2025 to $10.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of low-carbon binders, rising adoption of self-compacting concrete, growth in green building projects, expansion of sustainable construction materials, reliance on recycled aggregates.
The low-carbon concrete market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.08 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing production of ultra-high-performance and self-compacting concrete, expansion of low-carbon concrete adoption in infrastructure, development of prefabricated eco-friendly products, integration of smart monitoring in concrete production, rising use of hybrid low-carbon cementitious materials. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of ultra-high-performance low-carbon concrete, adoption of self-compacting low-carbon concrete, integration of green cementitious blocks, implementation of smart production and monitoring systems, expansion of recycled aggregate applications.
The increasing awareness of sustainable building practices is expected to drive the growth of the low-carbon concrete market. Sustainable building practices involve designing and constructing buildings that reduce environmental impact, conserve resources, and enhance the health and efficiency of occupants. These practices are gaining momentum due to growing concerns about climate change, as they help to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy consumption. Low-carbon concrete supports these sustainable building practices by lowering CO₂ emissions during production, reducing the environmental footprint of construction, and promoting energy-efficient, eco-friendly infrastructure. For example, in July 2024, the Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that more than 46,000 residential projects had earned LEED green building certification, showing nearly a 5% increase in new registrations compared to 2023. Therefore, the rising awareness of sustainable building practices is driving growth in the low-carbon concrete market.
Companies operating in the low-carbon concrete market are focusing on technological innovations, such as low-clinker concrete admixtures, to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the material's strength and durability. A low-clinker concrete admixture is an additive that reduces the amount of cement clinker in concrete, thus lowering CO₂ emissions and enhancing sustainability. For instance, in July 2023, CHRYSO Inc., a France-based construction company, launched EnviroMix, a global range of admixture solutions designed to produce low-carbon concrete. This admixture improves early strength development, enabling faster construction timelines and cost savings while using higher proportions of sustainable supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). EnviroMix also offers digital tools to calculate and optimize the environmental impact of concrete mixes, supporting the construction industry's transition to sustainable, low-carbon building practices with high-performance concrete solutions.
In July 2023, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, a France-based manufacturing company, acquired Chryso Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Compagnie de Saint-Gobain to strengthen its global leadership in sustainable construction by expanding its presence in the construction chemicals market with solutions that improve sustainability and performance. Chryso Inc. specializes in low-carbon concrete solutions and is known for its commitment to advancing eco-friendly construction practices.

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.
Tariffs are influencing the low-carbon concrete market by increasing costs for imported fly ash, slag, limestone, recycled aggregates, and alternative binders necessary for producing sustainable concrete products. Ultra-high-performance, self-compacting, and green concrete applications in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are most affected due to dependence on imported raw materials. However, tariffs are encouraging local sourcing, regional manufacturing of low-carbon concrete, and innovation in eco-friendly concrete technologies, enhancing supply chain efficiency and sustainability.

Low-carbon concrete refers to a type of concrete engineered to significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions compared to traditional concrete. This reduction is achieved through the use of alternative binders, supplementary cementitious materials (such as fly ash, slag, or silica fume), recycled aggregates, or carbon-capturing additives during production.
The main types of low-carbon concrete include Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)-based, Portland Limestone Cement (PLC)-based, and geopolymer concrete. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)-based concrete refers to concrete made primarily with traditional OPC as the binding material. Product offerings include ready-mix concrete, precast concrete, prefabricated products, and others. These solutions incorporate materials such as fly ash-based components, slag-based materials, limestone calcined clay cement, recycled aggregates, and additional alternatives. Low-carbon concrete is used in residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications, serving end-users in sectors such as construction, transportation, energy, and others.North America was the largest region in the low carbon concrete market in 2025.
