Americas tile grout market Expected to Reach $0.76 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Americas tile grout market Market by Type, Grade, and End User: Opportunity Analysis and Industry forecast, 2023–2032,” The Americas tile grout market was valued at $466.0 million in 2022 and is projected to reach $762.7 million by 2032, registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2032.

Grout provides support and stability to the tiled surface by binding the tiles in place and preventing them from shifting or moving. This helps maintain the integrity of the tile installation over time. Tile grout is used to fill gaps, known as grout joints, between individual tiles. These joints are necessary to accommodate slight size variations in the tiles and to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Moreover, grout acts as a barrier that helps prevent water and moisture from seeping through the gaps between tiles. This is particularly important in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Furthermore, the demand for tile grout is closely tied to construction activities, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Economic conditions and construction trends can significantly impact the market. A growing construction industry typically drives higher demand for tile grout products. In addition, renovation and remodeling projects also contribute to the Americas tile grout market growth.

As homeowners and businesses upgrade existing spaces, they may require new tile installations or regrouting of existing tiles. Also, consumer preferences and design trends can affect the choice of tile grout. Trends in interior design and architecture may lead to an increase in demand for certain grout colors and styles. For instance, in May 2022, Mapei, S.p.A., a pioneer in chemical-based products introduced Kerapoxy Easy Design, its newest epoxy grout product. This innovative product is provided in a variety of 40 colors and can be appropriate for both, residences as well as commercial uses.

In addition, increase in awareness of environmental issues, climate change, and resource depletion has led consumers and construction professionals to seek out building materials that have a reduced impact on the environment. This includes tiles themselves as well as the grout used in tile installations. Many construction projects, especially in commercial and institutional sectors, aim for green building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method). These certifications often require the use of sustainable and low-impact building materials, including eco-friendly grout.

However, fluctuations in costs of raw materials used in grout production, such as cement and additives, can affect pricing and profitability for manufacturers. Sudden price increases in raw materials can put pressure on profit margins. Moreover, commercial and industrial buildings often have substantial floor and wall surfaces that require tiling. These surfaces may be subject to heavy foot traffic, vehicular traffic, or industrial use, making the selection of durable and reliable tile grout crucial. In addition, many commercial and industrial projects require customized design elements, which may involve intricate tile patterns and creative use of tile grout colors. This customization can lead to the use of specific types of grouts to achieve the desired aesthetics.

Moreover, homeowners often seek to personalize their spaces by incorporating unique tile designs and patterns. Furthermore, the most recent American Housing Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that between 2019 and 2021, American homeowners undertook approximately 135 million projects for house remodeling, spending an estimated $624 billion. Spending on home improvements has risen by about $100 billion over the last few years. Hence, increase in the number of home remodeling projects globally propels the growth of the Americas tile grout market.
