The global construction aggregates market grew at a CAGR of 3.2% between 2018 and 2022. Growth forecasts remain optimistic, with the market predicted to exhibit a CAGR of 4.86% between 2023 and 2033.
Demand for construction aggregates is considered to be at 3.8% CAGR in 2016-2020. The continued decline in construction activities dampened growth prospects to an extent. The trend continued until 2020, as the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 caused supply-chain disruptions.
Increasing investments by the governments to support the development of residential and commercial projects are likely to fuel market growth. As per the Construction Aggregates Market study, the United States, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Malaysia, and India are going to emerge as key producers in the construction aggregates market.
Recovery of Residential Projects is Driving Construction Aggregates Market Sales
Fast-paced urbanization and the influx of population have provided the impetus to construction activities globally, subsequently causing construction aggregates sales to uptick.
Population migration from rural to urban areas has compelled governments across various countries to offer incentives for residential construction. For example,
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) assists rural citizens with homeownership, repair, and renovation programs. Department also provides financing to elderly, disabled, and low-income residents while aiding them to manage rent payments. Further, USDA works with private and public organizations to provide financial aid for the construction and repair of rural and multi-family housing complexes.
United States Census Bureau recorded US$ 751.7 billion expenditure in the residential sector in May 2021 as these numbers hint toward the rapid expansion of residential projects, which might further result in high demand for construction aggregates in the upcoming years.
Principal Consultant
Technology has transformed most crucial operations in various domains, including the construction industry.
Digital transformation in this industry is widely known as Construction 4.0, which, as a term, encompasses the usage of connectivity for real-time decision-making and streamlining operational management. This approach has allowed construction companies and the workforce to adopt a technology framework that is going to help them to meet the industry's current challenges.
The introduction of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is significantly supporting digital transformation in the construction sector. BIM assists with time management, cost planning, sustainability in raw material usage, waste reduction, and improved overall project performance. Moreover, driven by these factors, the construction sector is anticipated to witness many developments, which in turn might promote sales of construction aggregates during the assessment period.
Increasing usage of natural sand in construction activities has resulted in the depletion of natural sand from riverbeds. Continuous global sand mining activities have led to the implementation of stringent environmental and land use legislation, making extraction of natural sand difficult and expensive.
Natural sand has inherently high silt and clay content which makes it difficult to mix with concrete if not processed properly. Besides this, high-quality sand pits are often located in remote locations and lead to high costs in transportation.
Factors are encouraging contractors to actively replace natural sand with manufactured sand. Manufactured sand is produced by crushing rocks and quarry stones into fine, sand-size particles. Further, low-value aggregates obtained from by-products of rock crushing can be effectively turned into high-value manufactured sand.
Manufactured sand is cost-effective as compared to natural sand as it is produced in areas near construction sites. This brings down the cost of transportation and promotes a consistent supply.
Manufactured sand has denser particle packaging than natural sand and is free of silt and clay. Further, properties make manufactured sand exhibit high flexural strength, better abrasion resistance, and high unit weight.

Large Transportation Costs are Said to Cause Barriers
Transportation of construction aggregates is not a difficult affair; however, the high weight and volume of these materials can increase the cost associated with transportation.
Sand and gravel reserves are depleting across the world, and illegal mining has hampered the supply of these types of construction aggregates. Furthermore, strict mining laws across several countries have resulted in a spike in product prices, which might impact growth prospects in the market.
Infrastructural Developments Continue to Support Construction Aggregates Sales in the United States
North America is said to hold a market share of 42% whereas the United States is estimated to capture a market share of 26.8%
According to FMI’s analysis, the construction aggregation market in the United States is likely to continue to expand at a steady pace owing to investments by governments toward the expansion of roadways and infrastructure.
The spreading of the novel coronavirus, in construction activities in the United States, temporarily suspended construction, resulting in a downward trend in market growth with an expedited vaccination process and increasing adoption of technological advancements in the country, growth is anticipated to pick up pace in the upcoming years.
United States Department of Transportation has announced US$ 905.25 million in proposed rewards for FY 2021. These funds are allocated for the development of 24 projects in 18 states that come under the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program.
Government initiatives taken that are coupled with a high adoption rate of connective technology in the construction sector are anticipated to propel sales of construction aggregates in the country.
