Stucco, a building material, is made up of aggregates, a binder, and water. Stucco is a sculptural and creative material used in architecture, as well as an appealing coating for walls and ceilings. Stucco is a plaster made from Portland cement components, sand, lime, water, and different raw ingredients. It creates cornices, moldings, and other decorative elements by covering the interior and exterior surfaces of walls, ceilings, and floors. It is suitable for both hot and cold areas because it requires little upkeep and can withstand harmful UV rays.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), India's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017 was valued at USD 2.611 trillion. This figure positions India as the sixth-largest economy globally regarding market exchange rates and the third-largest in purchasing power parity. Emerging urban groupings drive economic impetus. As a result, more customers with more disposable income improve the economic prospects of developing countries like India and China. The rise in middle-class per capita income has increased purchasing power, which has increased the number of new structures. The anticipated increase in the construction industry is predicted to significantly impact the demand for stucco.
The rapid expansion of industries can be ascribed to emerging economies' economic success. The African mining industry has grown significantly, while major foreign countries have shifted their investments to the Asia-Pacific industrial sector. As a result, the rise in industrialization has increased demand for stucco, a key component in infrastructure development. Similarly, the increase in urbanization and population in developing countries has increased the demand for ecologically conscious and sustainable infrastructure. This has increased demand for stucco and given attractive opportunities for market growth.
Asia-Pacific is the most significant global stucco market shareholder and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the projected period. India is expected to develop at the fastest rate in the Asia-Pacific stucco market, owing to industrial growth boosting demand for stucco. The forecasted increase in urban population, as well as the resulting demand for improved infrastructure, are likely to be major drivers of growth in the stucco sector. The Asia-Pacific construction industry is also expected to see an increase in demand for stucco as the Chinese government increases infrastructure spending.
The North American stucco market is examined in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 2018, the US and Canada accounted for around 87.2% of the market, with the former accounting for approximately 73.2%, owing to infrastructure development, which drives demand for stucco, particularly in non-residential applications. The need for dams, bridges, highways, and domestic dwelling facilities in North America, as well as an increase in consumer purchasing power parity, are likely to provide profitable chances for market expansion.
