The global shotcrete/sprayed concrete market is poised for robust expansion through 2035, fueled by escalating underground construction, tunneling projects, and adoption of robotic spraying systems. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 9.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 17.4 billion by 2035, advancing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.

The FMI report,“Shotcrete/Sprayed Concrete Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals an incremental revenue opportunity of USD 7.9 billion over the decade, driven by demand for durable, rapid-application solutions in mining, hydropower, and metro rail developments.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Wet Mix Processes and Robotic Automation:

The shift toward wet mix shotcrete and robotic systems is accelerating efficiency and safety in high-risk environments. From 2025 to 2030, the market is expected to grow by USD 3.8 billion, propelled by infrastructure modernization in emerging economies. Between 2030 and 2035, FMI projects an additional USD 4.1 billion in expansion, supported by advanced admixtures, fiber reinforcements, and automation integration.

“Wet mix processes and robotic spraying are redefining standards for bonding strength, dust reduction, and precision,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, FMI research analyst.“These technologies minimize rebound losses and labor dependency, making shotcrete indispensable for complex underground applications.”
