Tile Grout and Adhesives Market Outlook - 2026
The global tile grout and adhesives market size was valued at $2,244.0 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $3,880.2 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2019 to 2026. Tile grout and adhesive are special kind of glue utilized to fix tiles. It is a ready-made mixture that includes polymers, Portland cement, epoxy, and aggregate particles. In addition, it is used for laying tiles in connecting sections of pre-cast concrete, masonry walls, and sealing joints in flooring. The sealing of tiles with adhesive and grout makes it water-resistant to avoid discoloration. Moreover, these grout and adhesives eliminate the threat of mold and mildew caused due to moisture by restricting water enter through the gaps between the tiles. .
Outdoor entertainment areas such as porches, patio, and backyards has gained significant popularity, owing to its functional utility for small gatherings and semi-natural ambiance. As a result, people are increasingly opting for outdoor entertainment areas in their residential and commercial building. Moreover, rise in demand for outdoor flooring among residential buildings such as bungalows, condos, townhouses, and row houses with attractive outdoor flooring solutions fuels the market growth.
However, utilization of mortar instead of grout and adhesive may hamper the tile grout and adhesives market growth. Mortar is one of the most commonly used material to attach tiles to flooring and drywall. The cost of mortar is low as compare to grout and adhesive; hence, in developing countries of Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, mortar remains the popular choice for installation of tiles. Furthermore, lack of awareness regarding grout and adhesive also increase the utilization of mortar. Laying tiles using mortar requires less amount of cement. Around 15 kg of cement can be used to lay tiles on the average area of 5 square meter, on other hand, 25 kg of tile adhesive is required for the installation of tiles. In addition, shortage of skilled tile fixers who can use grout and adhesive effectively restrains the growth of the tile grout and adhesives market.
Furthermore, increase in emphasis toward utilization of low VOC grout and adhesive is anticipated to create lucrative business opportunities for the market players in tile grout and adhesives market. The VOC compounds emit gases that are extremely harmful and can cause both adverse short-term and long-term health effects. Thus, the low VOC and non-toxic grout and adhesive for wall and flooring materials have been widely introduced to the construction industry to reduce indoor pollutant concentrations.
