Formwork Market Boosted by Expansion in Infrastructure Projects and Bridges – Forecast 2025 to 2031

 The global Formwork Market was valued at US$ 8233 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 8878 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 1.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

The Formwork Market is experiencing significant growth, driven by expanding construction activities across residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors. Formwork, also known as shuttering, is a temporary or permanent mold used to hold wet concrete until it hardens and gains sufficient strength. It plays a crucial role in ensuring structural integrity, shape, and surface finish of concrete structures.

With the global rise in urbanization, infrastructure investment, and high-rise construction, the demand for modern, reusable, and efficient formwork systems is on the rise. Innovations in materials and design are also fueling the shift toward lightweight, eco-friendly, and modular systems.
