Polymeric concrete is a composite material where polymer resin serves as the binding agent instead of traditional cement. It is used in applications that require high strength, chemical resistance, and rapid curing, such as drainage systems, industrial flooring, and structural repairs.
The main types of polymeric concrete include polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC), polymer-cement concrete (PCC), and polymer-resin concrete (PMC). Polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC) involves infusing polymer into the pores of hardened concrete to enhance strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and water penetration. Its applications include flooring blocks, facades and curtain walls, pump bases, chemical containments, waste containers, trench drains, and more. These are utilized by various end users across industrial, municipal, residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors.
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.
The polymeric concrete market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides polymeric concrete market statistics, including polymeric concrete industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a polymeric concrete market share, polymeric concrete market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the polymeric concrete industry. This polymeric concrete 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.
The polymeric concrete market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.70 billion in 2024 to $0.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to industrialization in emerging economies, expansion of wastewater treatment plants, the appeal of reduced maintenance costs, rising urbanization, and growing awareness of the benefits of polymer concrete.
The polymeric concrete market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.00 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by investments in smart cities and infrastructure, growth in prefabrication and modular construction, expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, increasing flood management projects, and infrastructure development in emerging markets. Key trends in the forecast period include a sustainability focus promoting bio-based resin use, smart infrastructure integration, incorporation of recycled aggregates, innovations in lightweight polymeric concrete, and advancements in fast-curing resins.
The rise in construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the polymeric concrete market. Construction activities encompass the various processes involved in creating structures such as homes, roads, bridges, and buildings. This growth in construction is being driven by rapid urbanization, which is increasing the demand for new residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. Polymeric concrete supports these developments by offering superior strength, enhanced chemical resistance, and faster curing times, making it particularly suitable for high-performance and time-sensitive projects. For example, in June 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that privately owned housing completions reached an annual rate of 1,526,000 in May, on a seasonally adjusted basis, reflecting a 5.4% increase from the revised April figure of 1,448,000. Therefore, the ongoing rise in construction activities is expected to fuel the growth of the polymeric concrete market.
Key players in the polymeric concrete market are prioritizing innovation through the development of advanced composite materials that offer improved durability, lower water consumption during production, and greater resistance to chemicals and corrosion in urban infrastructure applications. High-performance composite materials are blends of multiple components designed to be stronger, more durable, and more damage-resistant than conventional materials. For instance, in December 2024, Daw Construction Group, based in the UAE, and Qatar German Polymer Company (QGPC), based in Qatar, introduced polymer concrete as a forward-looking solution for urban development. This material is distinguished by its exceptional durability, high chemical resistance, and low water absorption, making it ideal for demanding urban environments. It enables faster construction and reduces labor costs, while its durability and minimal maintenance requirements contribute to more sustainable and environmentally friendly construction practices. With its enhanced strength and lightweight characteristics, this development marks a significant advancement in creating more resilient, sustainable, and efficient urban infrastructure.
In April 2024, Sika AG, a specialty chemicals company based in Switzerland, acquired Kwik Bond Polymers for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster Sika's presence in the infrastructure and polymeric concrete sectors by expanding its offerings in high-performance polymer systems for bridge deck overlays and concrete repair. These solutions are aimed at increasing the durability and extending the lifecycle of infrastructure projects. Kwik Bond Polymers LLC is a U.S.-based company that specializes in methacrylate and polymeric concrete overlays used in highway and bridge applications.
