Bricks, Blocks, & Pavers - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 4141 | Published: 07/2021 | Pages: 193 | Individual User License: US$ 5,300

US demand for bricks, blocks, and pavers is expected to increase 2.1% annually through 2025 to $8.1 billion, with most gains stemming from price increases. Unit growth will be restrained by:

  • increased brick siding competition from other materials (such as fiber cement) that can mimic the brick aesthetic at a lower cost
  • declining interest in indoor fireplaces, especially those faced in brick, in newly constructed homes

Additionally, demand was already at a high base in 2020, when the residential market was surprisingly strong. While unit sales of bricks, blocks, and pavers will remain elevated into 2022, they will begin to decline from their peak before 2025, dragging down average growth.

Supporting growth in all markets will be the rising popularity of hardscaping and outdoor living, which benefits installation of paved patios, outdoor fireplaces, and retaining walls.

Interest in Outdoor Living to Fuel Hardscaping Gains

Already a growing trend pre-pandemic, interest in outdoor living increased significantly in 2020 as homeowners sought to improve the functionality of their outdoor spaces in order to provide a safe and aesthetically pleasing area to socialize and entertain. The rising popularity of outdoor living will continue to spur a variety of home renovation projects, many of which will involve the use of bricks, blocks, and pavers. This impact will be strongest in 2021 as homeowners take on projects – including walkways, backyard gardens, patios, installation of fencing, and entertainment areas – they did not complete in 2020.

Brick Demand Supported by Residential Aesthetics & Outdoor Trends

Rising spending on residential buildings, particularly single-family homes, will boost demand for bricks used in a variety of applications. The majority of these gains will occur in hardscaping and siding:

  • While brick continues to face competition from other siding materials, such as fiber cement and synthetic brick, its durability and aesthetic remains popular, particularly in the South where most new homes are being built.
  • The increasing popularity of outdoor living has boosted demand for site-built outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, which are frequently made of brick.

Spending on Commercial Structures Following the Pandemic to Support Concrete Blocks

Commercial building construction declined in 2020 and has remained weak in 2021 due to caution on the part of developers and uncertainty among occupants regarding how much spaces is needed near term. However, spending on these structures is expected to recover beginning in 2022 and expand annually through 2025, driving demand gains for structural concrete blocks, which are used both in foundations and in above-grade structural walls in a variety of commercial buildings. Demand growth will be strongest for institutional buildings such as educational and healthcare structures, where concrete masonry is used intensely. Concrete block demand is also expected to increase in office buildings, retail establishments, and industrial facilities.
