Stucco Global Market Report 2025

Stucco serves as a decorative coating for walls and ceilings, both interior and exterior. Comprising aggregates, a binder, and water, this building material is applied in a liquid state and solidifies into a durable and fireproof solid upon drying. It is widely utilized in architecture for its toughness, longevity, and aesthetic appeal, functioning as both a decorative coating for walls and ceilings and as an exterior material with sculptural qualities.

• Stucco comes in two main types: traditional and insulated. Traditional stucco is crafted from cement, lime, and coarse sand, offering durability and resilience against the elements. It is applied on various bases such as concrete, masonry, tile, and others. The material involves a mix of components, including cement, aggregates, admixture, plasticizers, reinforcement, bonding agents, and more. Stucco finds application in both residential and non-residential settings.
