Dublin, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis By Product Type (Fly Ash, Slag Cement, Silica Fume, Natural Pozzolana), By Application, By End User, By Technology" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) Market size is valued at USD 28.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 40 billion by 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.51% over the forecast period. 
The supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) market is witnessing strong growth driven by the construction industry's increasing focus on sustainability, durability, and performance in concrete production. Materials such as fly ash, slag cement, silica fume, calcined clays, volcanic ash, and natural pozzolans are being used to partially replace Portland cement clinker, reducing CO2 emissions while improving concrete's mechanical properties, sulfate resistance, and long-term durability.
Manufacturers are adopting advanced processing techniques such as ultra-fine grinding, calcination, mechanochemical activation, and tailored formulation to enhance pozzolanic reactivity, optimize particle size distribution, and ensure product consistency across diverse infrastructure applications. Market expansion is supported by green building certifications, regulatory incentives, urbanization, and infrastructure investments across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
However, challenges remain including variability in mineralogical and chemical properties of natural SCM deposits, high processing costs, water demand implications in mixes, and lack of universal performance standards. Companies are addressing these by investing in rigorous deposit-specific quality control protocols, sustainable mining practices, and R&D to develop reliable, eco-friendly SCM solutions aligned with net-zero targets and resilient construction goals.
