Stucco Global Market Report 2026

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.

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 affecting the stucco market by increasing costs of imported cement additives, reinforcement fibers, polymer modifiers, and insulation materials. Construction activity in North America and Europe is most impacted due to reliance on imported specialty materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented stucco formulations. These tariffs are raising project material costs and influencing contractor selection. At the same time, they are encouraging regional material sourcing, domestic additive production, and innovation in locally formulated stucco systems.

The increasing urbanization is expected to drive the growth of the stucco market going forward. Urbanization is the process by which rural areas develop into urban regions due to economic growth and industrialization. Stucco is widely used as an exterior building treatment in urbanized areas with high construction activity and dense populations because of its durability and aesthetic appeal. For example, in April 2023, the World Bank Group, a US-based bank, reported that more than half of the global population currently resides in urban regions. By 2045, the urban population is projected to reach 6 billion, representing a 1.5-fold increase. Therefore, the growth of urban areas is fueling the stucco market.

Key companies in the stucco market are launching eco-friendly, high-performance building materials to provide diverse design options. A hybrid sealant is a versatile adhesive that combines properties of different materials, such as silicone and polyurethane, offering strong adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and UV exposure. For instance, in June 2023, Sto Corp., a US-based building coatings manufacturer, launched StoSeal STPE Sealant, a premium one-part hybrid sealant for both new construction and restoration projects. It is isocyanate-free, low-odor, and has a low VOC content (8 grams per liter), making it environmentally friendly. The sealant provides excellent adhesion and primer-free bonding across a variety of substrates, offering durability and flexibility. It features a high movement capability, tested per ASTM C1382, with a movement class of +100/-50, and is highly resistant to moisture and weathering, suitable for opaque wall systems.
