Global Bricks Market Size, Share and Growth Analysis Report - Forecast Trends and Outlook (2024-2032)

Global Bricks Market Growth

As per the United Nations Environment Programme, worldwide investments in making buildings more energy efficient surged by 14% in 2021 and reached USD 285 billion. Since 2021, 17 countries have either updated their national building codes or developed new guidelines for the construction of energy-efficient buildings, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, and France. As a part of global decarbonisation efforts, the UNEP suggests that all G20 nations and nearly 50% all remaining countries worldwide must establish new building energy codes which align with zero emission standards before 2030. It also suggests that countries should reduce their building energy intensity by 5% every year till 2030. This is expected to increase the bricks market revenue as bricks are energy-efficient and are considered as sustainable construction material in developing residential and commercial properties.

The implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects has also increased the demand for automated brick making machines, which is one of the major market trends. These machines are capable of self-producing large volumes of bricks, thereby reducing labour costs and enhancing the efficiency of construction operations. The integration of AI capabilities into brick making machines is expected to further enhance their productivity and reduce the risk of machine downtime by preventing sudden breakdowns. This is expected to fuel the bricks market development over the forecast period.
