KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global construction material testing equipment market size was valued at USD 1.36 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 1.43 billion in 2024 to USD 2.14 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.


Construction Material Testing (CMT) equipment are instruments used to assess the properties and performance of a wide range of materials, such as cement, concrete, asphalt, aggregate, steel, and soil. This equipment can be used on-field or in a lab to ensure that construction materials meet industry standards before they are utilized in construction projects. These projects highly depend on the quality of materials. Hence, testing tools and devices capable of providing accurate readings are becoming increasingly important. Construction testing instruments are capable of examining the moisture content, hardness, permeability, and other mechanical properties of the construction materials.


The market’s growth is mainly driven by rapid infrastructure development across the world, stringent quality standards for construction materials, and urbanization in developing economies. Selecting the appropriate building materials is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and increasing market value. Increasing instances of building collapse across the world have highlighted the importance of making sensible material selections, following safety regulations, and using sturdy construction techniques. Governments and regulatory agencies are putting strict quality control and regulatory standards on building materials to reduce hazards and ensure the durability and safety of construction projects. For instance,



  • In April 2024, ASTM International announced the development of standards for quality control and assurance of materials used for additive construction with cementitious materials.

  • In October 2023, Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA), an Indian real estate regulatory authority, announced the development of a regulatory framework for quality assurance reporting in construction projects. Under this regulation, realtors are required to report the quality of construction materials twice a year.


Hence, compliance with such regulatory and quality control standards necessitates accurate testing, propelling the demand for advanced testing equipment.


The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global market for construction material testing equipment due to supply chain disruptions and reduced construction activities. Many construction projects were delayed or halted during the outbreak. This, in turn, reduced the demand for construction materials, and ultimately, tools and devices used to test them.


Construction Material Testing Equipment Market Trends


Rapidly Intensifying Climate Change to Augment Market Growth


According to the National Centers for Environmental Information's (NOAA) 2023 Annual Climate Report, the land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.06° Celsius per decade since 1850. Extreme temperatures, including heat waves as well as extreme cold, significantly affect the durability of construction materials. High temperatures deteriorate concrete and asphalt, while extreme cold can cause cracks and decrease structural integrity.


The impact of climate change is leading to the construction of a resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding severe weather events. Construction material testing equipment is crucial to ensure that construction materials meet the quality standards for durability under extreme weather. Additionally, there is an increasing focus on minimizing the carbon footprint of the construction sector. This augments the development of advanced construction materials, such as low-carbon concrete. Testing these advanced materials requires specialized construction material testing equipment.

Construction Material Testing Equipment Market Growth Factors


Rapid Infrastructure Development and Urbanization to Drive Market Growth


The requirement for infrastructure development has become increasingly important across the world. Several factors, such as rapid urbanization, increasing population, and economic development augments the need for new infrastructure. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), by 2030, around USD 1.7 trillion of annual investment will be required in infrastructure across the Asia region to maintain economic growth, fight poverty, and eradicate climate risk. Governments across Asia have set ambitious targets to become a developed nation. For instance, the Government of India (GOI) has allocated 3.3% of its GDP for the infrastructure sector in FY 2024. Urbanization and rapid infrastructure development in emerging nations augment the demand for quality construction materials. This, in turn, fuels the need for construction material testing equipment to ensure the compliance with safety standards and regulations imposed by government authorities.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limited Awareness and Economic Slowdowns to Hinder Market Growth


There is limited awareness of the significance of quality control in emerging economies. The high initial cost of advanced testing equipment can deter enterprises with limited budgets from purchasing testing equipment. This leads to underinvestment in testing equipment, hampering the construction material testing equipment market growth. In addition, the construction sector is highly sensitive to economic slowdowns. During periods of economic downturn, spending on construction activities often slows down, leading to reduced demand for construction materials. These factors can hamper the construction materials testing equipment demand.


Construction Material Testing Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis


By Equipment Type Analysis


Increasing Importance of Soil Testing to Fuel Soil Testing Equipment Demand


Based on equipment type, the market is segmented into concrete testing equipment, asphalt testing equipment, soil testing equipment, aggregate testing equipment, cement & mortar testing equipment, steel testing equipment, and others. The soil testing equipment segment is predicted to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its significant impact on the safety and stability of structures. Soil testing helps in identifying the type of foundation required, determining corrosive soil, and assessing soil liquefaction possibilities during an earthquake. Hence, before beginning any construction work, companies are increasingly investing in soil testing equipment.


The steel testing equipment segment will hold the highest construction material testing equipment market share during the forecast period. Steel is one of the most popular construction materials. It is often used along with concrete to create cost-effective structures. The testing of steel is an important step in construction to ensure quality and durability.


By Mode of Operation Analysis


Rising Demand for Real-time Data Collection to Augment Adoption of Automatic Testing Equipment


Based on mode of operation, the market is divided into manual and automatic. The automatic segment is predicted to hold the highest market share and poised to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Automatic instruments reduce manual intervention. This, in turn, enhances accuracy and repeatability. Additionally, these systems have features, such as touch screens and software interfaces for simplified operation. Software interfaces enable real-time data acquisition, analysis, and reporting. Owing to these advantages over manual testing equipment, their use is expected to increase rapidly during the forecast period.


The manual construction material testing equipment is operated using hands. These tools and devices do not offer the same level of accuracy and repeatability as automatic equipment. However, they are often used due to their affordability and simplicity.


By End-user Analysis


Growing Need for Quality Assurance and Control to Boost Product Use Among Material Manufacturers


Based on end-user, the market is divided into construction companies, material manufacturers, research institutes and laboratories, and government agencies. The material manufacturers segment is expected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period. Material manufacturers are expected to meet stringent quality standards and regulations imposed by governments and regulatory authorities. Hence, testing equipment is pivotal for determining the properties of construction materials. Maintaining high quality enhances brand reputation and customer trust.
