Dublin, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Pollution Absorbing Bricks Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The pollution-absorbing bricks market has shown robust growth in recent years and is poised for further expansion. Projected to rise from $5.61 billion in 2025 to $6.01 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.1%, the market’s historic growth has been driven by increasing adoption of eco-friendly construction materials. These bricks are instrumental in reducing urban air pollution through their application in green building projects and high-pollution urban zones. The demand is fueled by sustainability regulations that push for carbon-absorbing facade bricks and smog-reducing wall bricks in both commercial and residential developments.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to grow to $7.84 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 6.9%. Key growth drivers include advanced photocatalytic coatings for enhanced pollutant absorption, integration into smart and sustainable city infrastructure projects, and regulatory incentives. Trends in the industry point towards increased use of porous brick designs for air filtration, carbon-absorbing alternatives, and innovations like bio-cementation and algae-based bricks.
The drive for green buildings is a significant growth catalyst. These buildings minimize environmental impact and align with sustainability goals, contributing to the rising demand for pollution-absorbing bricks. Such bricks are equipped with photocatalytic properties to neutralize harmful pollutants, supporting the green building movement. For instance, by December 2024, Australia had surpassed 1,000 Green Star-certified projects, indicating a strong market for these innovative materials.
Infrastructure development further boosts the market, with bricks being used in projects like roads, bridges, and building facades to improve air quality sustainably. The U.S. alone reported infrastructure projects in 2023 worth billions, building momentum for pollution-absorbing bricks. Companies are also turning to carbon-sequestering additives, with innovations like LEGO-like bricks by Graphyte, utilizing leftover materials from timber and agriculture to store carbon efficiently.
Leading global players include CRH Plc, Cemex S.A.B. de C.V, and Wienerberger AG, among others, with European companies taking a significant share. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to lead growth during the forecast period. Nevertheless, the market faces challenges from increasing tariffs on raw materials, impacting production costs and adoption rates, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Yet, this has spurred localized sourcing and investment in regional eco-friendly alternatives.
The market research report provides comprehensive insights into the pollution-absorbing bricks market, detailing global market size, regional shares, competitor analysis, and future opportunities. It offers a critical perspective on industry trends and strategic recommendations, assisting stakeholders in navigating the rapidly evolving international landscape.
