The global polished concrete market is anticipated to reach $3,683.4 million by 2031, growing from $2,148.7 million in 2021at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2031.
Polished concrete is a multi-step process that involves mechanically grinding and honing the concrete and then polishing it with bonded adhesives. This process offers a glossy finish to the floors, and it is widely used in commercial and residential projects. Grinding, honing, and polishing concrete flooring are some of the steps in the process of creating polished concrete.
Increase in demand for polished concrete for hotel flooring construction, warehouses or logistic clubs, rise in need for aesthetic appeal, and growth in renovation projects internationally are all contributing factors to the global market growth. Furthermore, government programs for infrastructure improvements is boosting market revenue growth.
The cost of polished concrete is high. While polishing might cost up to twice as much as sealing, sealing concrete costs more than the total installation cost for carpet tile. The price of polished concrete can be doubled by adding a thin decorative coating to the top of an existing slab that is constructed of any combination of cement, sand, or other additives blended with polymer resin. Numerous problems can occur, such as poor acoustics, cracking, a higher risk of slips and falls, and discomfort when walking on concrete applications. These factors could restrict the market for polished concrete.
Housing needs, a fundamental human necessity, are increasing as a result of population expansion. The rapid urbanization and increase in need for affordable homes are anticipated to drive the polished concrete market expansion.
For instance, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana's Affordable Rental Accommodation Complexes (ARHC) give India's urban quality housing at a reasonable cost. All these factors are leading to a faster growth in the polished concrete industry. Furthermore, benefits of polished concrete floors, such as their high reflectivity, traction resistance, affordability, and stain resistance, may open lucrative market opportunities for industry participants in the years to come.
The pandemic's impacts on demand for polished concrete was witnessed in 2020-2021 in the global polished concrete market.
