Tile Grout Market Research Report Information Information by Type (Unsanded Grout, Finely Sanded Grout, Quarry-type Grout and Epoxy Grout), Application (Residential, Commercial and Industrial) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and South America) - Forecast till 2030

Market Overview

In 2018, the global tile grout market value is registered as USD 2.2 billion and is expected to exhibit the tile grout market size of USD 3.8 billion with a lucrative CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period 2021-2028.

Tile grout is a type of concrete used to fill gaps. It is in fluid form. This grout is produced from a mixture of sand, water, and cement which is used for pressure grouting, connecting sections of precast concrete, sealing joints between tiles, embedding rebar in masonry walls, and filling voids. To fill the large gaps like the cores of concrete blocks, tile grout is mixed with fine gravel. Compared to other structural pastes like plaster or joint compound, grout performs better and gives good results. When the grout mixture is correctly mixed and applied properly, it forms a waterproof seal. This makes it water-resistant for avoiding discoloration.

Moreover, by restricting the water entering through the gaps of the tiles by filling them with grout, it helps in eliminating the threat of mold and mildew occurring due to moisture. Worldwide, tiles coupled with rugs & carpets, laminates, and wood becomes an essential component in the construction industry. Hence the increase in the construction in both residential and commercial activities is escalating the growth of the market.

COVID-19 Analysis:

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the global economy by negatively impacting most of the industries like chemicals, electrical & electronic, food & beverages, and many more. This pandemic directly affects the production, demand, supply chains, and financial impact of the products by imposing the lockdown. To control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, most of the country’s governments imposed lockdowns and various stringent regulations.

The tile grout market was also negatively impacted by this pandemic. Due to the lockdown, most of the manufacturing industries face a lot of issues like lack of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, shortage of workers, and more which leads to a halt the production. The tile grout production is stopped that leads to the reduce the demand in the market and shut-offs the tile grout industry for a period. After the lift up of lockdown, rapidly the growth of the chemical & material products and tile grout products has increased which enhances the tile grout market growth.

Tiles are essential for transportation infrastructure like railway stations and airports which is boosting the growth of the tile grout market.

Restraint:

Lack of awareness regarding the benefits of tile grout among developing countries is restraining the market growth. Apart, the tile grout can strain badly on the tile surfaces that are porous and unglazed like limestone or quarry tiles which are hindering the market growth. If grout is used on the tiles, they should be sealed.

Opportunities:

The rising number of restaurants, fast food joints, hospitality, tourism industry, and quick-service restaurants is creating a lucrative opportunity to increase the growth of the market. Innovations in low VOC adhesive grout tile may increase the growth of the tile grout market.

Challenges:

The raw materials of tile grout are very expensive and the introduction of new flooring materials like Mortar are the major challenges of the market growth. The cost of Mortar is also relatively low compared to grout.
