According to the latest market research study published by P&S Intelligence, the U.S. precast concrete market, valued at USD 21.3 billion in 2024, is projected to reach USD 34.5 billion by 2032, advancing at a CAGR of 6.4% during 2025–2032. The surge in adoption is attributed to the durability, cost-efficiency, and faster construction benefits of precast concrete, making it the preferred choice for projects such as bridges, highways, buildings, and underground utilities.

Infrastructure and Sustainability Drive Growth
The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA), which
allocated USD 550 billion to transportation infrastructure, has significantly
boosted demand for precast concrete. Further, the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law’s USD 1.2 trillion package, covering transportation, energy, and water
projects, underpins the rising consumption of precast components across civil
construction.
Sustainability is another major growth catalyst. Precast
concrete reduces emissions through resource optimization, mold reuse, and
efficient transportation. Its ability to integrate recycled materials makes it
eligible for LEED and Envision certifications. In 2024, Holcim expanded its
green precast product line with carbon-neutral concrete solutions, reinforcing
industry-wide commitments to decarbonization.
