Pervious Concrete Installation Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Application (Hardscape, Floors), By End-use (Commercial, Infrastructure), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

Pervious Concrete Installation Market Trends

The global pervious concrete installation market size was estimated at USD 14.73 billion in 2023 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is attributed to the rising construction projects around the world coupled with an increasing inclination towards green, eco-friendly, and sustainable construction materials such as pervious concrete. In addition, the growing initiatives by governments of various countries to recharge groundwater levels are also driving the demand for products over the coming years.

The product allows water to pass through the surface, thereby improving stormwater management and reducing runoff. Moreover, pervious concrete helps in reducing the heat island effect and recharging groundwater levels which makes it an environmentally friendly option as compared to its substitutes. Therefore, as the government is enforcing incentives and regulations for sustainable construction along with stormwater management is expected to positively affect the market growth over the forecast period.

As compared to regular concrete products, pervious concrete is considered to require low maintenance and have a long lifespan which makes it a cost-effective. It is used in several applications such as commercial, infrastructure, public places, and residential as it offers superior aesthetic and functional benefits. Furthermore, this product is highly used in regions prone to flooding as it helps in mitigating damage risk by allowing water to pass through the ground. This results in low surface water accumulation. 

However, the market possesses a few factors which act as its restraint. Installation cost of pervious concrete is higher when compared to traditional concrete owing to the requirement of specialized techniques and materials. In addition to this, due to its low strength in comparison to traditional concrete, its use is limited in heavy-load applications. With time pervious concrete becomes clogged which results in low effectiveness and permeability. Additionally, there is still limited expertise and awareness in the construction industry regarding the proper use and maintenance of products. This further limits its use in the market.

Application Insights

The hardscape application dominated the market with a revenue share of 62% in 2023 and is further expected to grow at a significant rate from 2024 to 2030. In hardscape, this product is used in driveways, sidewalks, pathways, parking lots, patios, sports courts, and plazas. Pervious concrete ensures safety by reducing water pooling and minimizing the risk of slip hazards during rainy seasons. Additionally, this product helps in maintaining storm water which reduces the requirement of building additional drainage systems.

Pervious concrete is used in the construction of many floorings such as garage floors, greenhouse floors, industrial floors, basement floors, pool decks, and courtyards. The ability of a product to allow water to pass through the floor is increasing its application in flooring construction. Furthermore, in areas that consist of high foot traffic, this product offers low maintenance and long-lasting solutions for flooring construction.

End-use Insights

Infrastructure end use accounted for the largest revenue share of 45.1% in 2023.The pervious concrete installation is used in the infrastructure sector for the construction of stormwater management systems, highways, roadways, parking lots, and public parks. A growing number of regulations implemented by governments of countries related to the use of sustainable building materials in public projects is driving the segment’s demand in the market.

The commercial end-use is expected to witness significant CAGR from 2024 to 2030. This segment includes the construction of service areas, loading docks, commercial pathways, and walkways. Commercial buildings consist of high foot traffic; therefore, pervious concrete helps in reducing the slip hazards thereby ensuring safety and protection. Residential buildings use this product to construct pool decks and patios. Furthermore, this product is used in residential and commercial areas where maintaining a dry and safe surface is important.  

Regional Insights

The demand for pervious concrete installation in North America is expected to grow at a significant rate from 2024 to 2030 on account of the presence of regulatory pressure and environmental concerns, coupled with various development projects. Furthermore, governments of various North American countries are implementing rules and regulations related to storm water management. This is further anticipated to drive market growth in North America.

U.S. Pervious Concrete Installation Market Trends

The U.S. pervious concrete installation market dominated the North American market in 2023 and is further expected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2024 to 2030. Growing awareness of the public and government on the use of sustainable construction materials is driving the use of pervious concrete installations as compared to traditional ones.
