The global construction aggregates market is tipped to be valued at over US$565.8 billion by the end of 2026, according to a new report by Persistence Market Research (PMR). Over the period 2018-2026, PMR, a leading U.S.-based global business market research consultancy, expects the market to see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Exploding industrialisation and urbanisation will continue to create high-demand prospects in China, the rest of Asia Pacific, and rapidly thriving economies in South-East Asia. PMR says China will however remain the global leader throughout the forecast period, 2018-2026. Furthermore, developing regions such as the Middle East & Africa and Latin America will reportedly represent low-volume high-growth markets, owing to rapid growth of the construction industry and increasing numbers of organisational tie-ups.
Among product types, the PMR report says that crushed stone is estimated to hold a significantly large share of the total market revenue, owing to exponential infrastructure development. Sand is also one of the key product types; however, PMR says manufactured sand will gradually replace natural sand over the assessment period.
