Precast Concrete Market Report 2025

The precast concrete market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $124.26 billion in 2024 to $129.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing expenditure on road and water infrastructure development, growing demand for residential and commercial spaces, increase in demand for precast construction, and a low-interest rate environment.

The precast concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $162.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing construction activities globally, an increase in population growth, increasing industrialization, rising renovation activities, and technology development. Major trends in the forecast period include investing in research and development of innovative products, focusing on implementing IoT technology, focusing on partnerships and collaboration, focusing on environment-friendly building materials, and focusing on mergers and acquisitions.

Rising expenditure on road and water infrastructure is significantly boosting the growth of the precast concrete market. Precast concrete offers substantial time and cost savings compared to traditional cast-in-place construction methods. Both emerging and developed economies are increasing their infrastructure spending to bridge the gap between existing infrastructure and what is needed. Governments in various countries are enhancing infrastructure budgets to address this disparity. For instance, in September 2023, the Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S.-based think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international relations, reported that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) allocates $550 billion in new spending to improve physical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, railways, airports, and water systems. An additional $650 million is provided through regular infrastructure project funding. Therefore, rising investment in road and water infrastructure is expected to propel the precast concrete market in the coming years.

The rise in global construction activities, particularly in the renovation of older buildings, monuments, and heritage sites, is expected to drive the precast concrete market. Increased demand for non-residential facilities like malls, offices, airports, and other commercial spaces is also likely to fuel market growth. Government initiatives to support building and infrastructure projects in developing nations will further stimulate demand. Additionally, the growing need for precast products, such as blocks, panels, and roof tiles, will contribute to worldwide consumption. For example, in June 2024, TST Europe, a Switzerland-based company specializing in quick-release couplings and coupling systems, reported that total construction spending in the U.S. reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, a 7.4% increase from the previous year. The number of construction companies in the U.S. was approximately 745,000 in 2023. Thus, the growth in construction activities, especially in developing regions, is driving the expansion of the precast concrete market.

Leading companies in the precast concrete market are prioritizing innovations like automated production, which significantly reduces material waste and boosts energy efficiency. Automated production involves leveraging technology, machinery, and control systems to streamline manufacturing processes with minimal human intervention. For example, in July 2023, STRABAG UK, a construction company based in the UK, launched an advanced precast concrete plant in Hartlepool dedicated to producing tunnel segments for a major rail project. This new facility is expected to generate over 100 jobs and lower carbon emissions by utilizing efficient rail transport, reducing road congestion. Featuring cutting-edge technology, the plant enhances material and energy efficiency, contributing to local economic growth and emphasizing sustainability through local sourcing and recycled materials.

Leading companies in the precast concrete industry are also focusing on innovations like efficient water management, which cuts water use in concrete production by 10% to 20%. Efficient water management involves optimizing water usage, distribution, and conservation to minimize waste, support sustainability, and meet future needs. In August 2024, Gerdau Graphene, a Brazilian graphene producer, introduced NanoCONS, a graphene-based admixture for precast concrete. This innovation improves concrete strength and durability, reduces porosity, and cuts water consumption by up to 20%, while also accelerating setting time by 30%, facilitating faster construction. NanoCONS further reduces carbon emissions in concrete production by decreasing cement requirements.

In July 2024, Wells, a US-based provider of prefabricated building solutions, acquired GATE Precast for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to extend Wells' geographic footprint and broaden its range of prefabricated building products. By integrating GATE Precast’s expertise in precast concrete, the acquisition strengthens Wells’ capabilities in delivering comprehensive building solutions across multiple sectors. GATE Precast is a US-based manufacturer of precast concrete systems.

Precast concrete refers to a type of concrete that is prepared, cast, and cured off-site using reusable molds, typically in a controlled factory setting. This method allows for better control over the mix, placement, and curing processes. Precast concrete is widely used in various applications, offering functional versatility in structures such as parking garages, bridges, office buildings, stadiums, shops, and housing, particularly for repetitive and modular elements.

The main products derived from precast concrete are categorized into structural building components, architectural building components, transportation products, water and waste handling products, and others. Structural building components, including footings, beams, slabs, columns, walls, and facades, are employed for the rapid construction of structural buildings. Various types of precast concrete products, such as concrete masonry units (CMUs), pavers, retaining walls, and others, contribute to diverse applications. Precast concrete elements encompass columns and beams, floors and roofs, walls and barriers, girders, pipes, paving slabs, utility vaults, and more. These elements find application across different end-user segments, including residential, non-residential, and infrastructure projects.
