Recycled Concrete Aggregates Market Size and Share Forecast Outlook 2025 to 2035

MD, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ --

The global recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) market is poised for robust expansion through 2035, fueled by circular economy mandates, infrastructure rehabilitation, and sustainable building practices. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 10.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 22.9 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%.

The FMI report, “Recycled Concrete Aggregates Market | Global Market Analysis Report - 2035,” reveals an absolute revenue increase of USD 12.2 billion over the forecast period, with total growth of 115.1% driven by waste diversion targets and advanced processing technologies.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Processed RCA and Roads & Pavement Applications:

The shift toward high-quality, processed recycled aggregates is accelerating adoption in structural and infrastructure projects. From 2025 to 2030, the market will grow by USD 4.7 billion to USD 15.3 billion, representing 38.5% of the decade’s expansion, supported by mandatory recycling quotas and infrastructure modernization.

Between 2030 and 2035, FMI projects an additional USD 7.5 billion in growth—61.5% of the total—driven by net-zero targets, premium-grade RCA production, and high-specification applications in concrete and pavements.

“Processed RCA is emerging as a virgin aggregate equivalent, enabling compliance with stringent standards while cutting costs and emissions,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, Lead Analyst at FMI.
