Construction Aggregates Industry Analysis and Forecast Report 2025-2034: Market Set for Growth - Urbanization, Infrastructure Investments, and Sustainability Drive Demand for Cost-Effective Materials


Dublin, Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Construction Aggregates Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Construction Aggregates Market was valued at USD 444.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% to reach USD 796.3 billion by 2034.

Rapid urbanization, rising investment in infrastructure projects, and a consistent surge in both residential and commercial construction are driving robust demand for core materials like crushed stone, sand, and gravel. As governments around the world focus on building smarter cities and upgrading aging infrastructure, the need for cost-effective and reliable construction aggregates is accelerating. In parallel, the private sector is actively engaging in industrial and commercial expansions, further adding to the demand pool.

Emerging economies are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, largely fueled by urban master plans, transportation upgrades, and housing developments. These trends are creating abundant growth opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers. As populations grow and cities expand, aggregate consumption is expected to rise steadily. Construction companies are emphasizing durable, scalable materials that can perform under tough environmental conditions, making aggregates an indispensable part of modern construction.

Major Construction Aggregates Industry players include Heidelberg, Martin Marietta, CEMEX, Knife River, Vulcan, Holcim, Greenstone Materials, CRH, Rogers, Breedon Group, Adbri, Votorantim Cimentos, Aggregate Industries, Granite Construction, and Summit. Leading companies are focusing on strategic acquisitions, geographic expansion, and partnerships with local builders. Investment in automated mining equipment and sustainable technologies is on the rise, along with innovation in eco-friendly product offerings. These moves help major players strengthen market presence and stay competitive.

Based on material type, natural aggregates were valued at USD 289 billion in 2024 and are expected to reach USD 508 billion by 2034.

Their natural abundance and long-standing performance in harsh construction environments make them the preferred option for builders and developers. Materials such as natural stone, sand, and pebbles offer structural integrity and cost-efficiency, making them ideal for projects ranging from roads and bridges to residential foundations. The rising number of multi-use complexes, public infrastructure ventures, and mass transit projects is pushing demand upward- particularly in high-growth regions with ongoing urban development initiatives and long-term infrastructure budgets.

The indirect distribution segment was valued at USD 259.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.

Construction contractors and development firms often work through wholesalers and distribution partners who manage procurement logistics and ensure continuous material flow. These intermediaries help optimize timelines and resource planning for medium to large-scale projects, especially in regions where uninterrupted access to bulk materials is critical. As global construction activity becomes more complex and deadline-driven, indirect distribution continues to be a preferred channel, supporting both operational efficiency and strategic sourcing.

The U.S. Construction Aggregates Market reached USD 79.2 billion in 2024 and will grow at a CAGR of 6.4% through 2034.

High demand from new housing developments, industrial zones, and commercial real estate is fueling this momentum. Advanced transport networks and modern quarrying methods further enhance supply chain performance. A growing shift toward recycled aggregates and green building practices is also shaping the U.S. market, reflecting increasing consumer demand for sustainability and compliance with evolving environmental regulations.
