Advanced building materials lower the carbon footprint and raise the performance of buildings and infrastructure. The sector covers low-carbon binders such as low-carbon cement and geopolymer concrete, walling materials such as fly ash bricks, aerated concrete blocks and hempcrete blocks, engineered timber such as cross-laminated timber panels, bio-based insulation boards, high-performance glazing, phase-change materials that store heat in the building fabric, and self-healing concrete formulations that extend the life of structures.
This is a market where regulation creates demand. Carbon pricing at borders, public procurement rules, building energy and carbon codes, renovation obligations and mandates to use industrial byproducts such as fly ash turn ordinary construction demand into demand for qualifying products. Specification is the gatekeeper. A material grows when engineers, codes and certifiers accept it, which is why the move from landmark projects to repeatable, plant-level production is the decisive step for many of these products.
ANMD studies in this sector size each material market from 2020 to 2032 by value and physical volume, and break it down by product type, chemistry or construction method, application, building type and buyer across seven regions, with country modules for the leading markets. Each study pairs the market analysis with sustainability due diligence covering embodied carbon, resource use and circularity, durability, health and safety, and the evidence behind low-carbon claims.
It covers materials that lower embodied carbon or raise building performance, including low-carbon cement, geopolymer concrete, fly ash bricks, aerated concrete blocks, hempcrete blocks, cross-laminated timber panels, bio-based insulation boards, high-performance glass panels, phase-change materials for thermal mass and self-healing concrete formulations. ANMD publishes a separate study for each of these markets.
ANMD forecasts growth ranging from mid single digits to the mid-teens a year to 2032 across the ten materials studied, with six of them roughly doubling in value or more. Newer low-carbon products such as geopolymer concrete, hempcrete and phase-change materials grow fastest, while established walling materials such as aerated blocks and fly ash bricks grow steadily. Each study gives the full forecast by segment and region.
The strongest drivers are regulatory. Carbon pricing, public procurement rules, building energy and carbon codes, renovation obligations and byproduct utilization mandates convert conventional demand into demand for qualifying materials. Adoption also depends on specification, so code acceptance, certification and repeatable production matter as much as price.
Each study includes sustainability due diligence covering embodied and operational carbon, resource use and circularity, durability and service life, health and safety, relevant disclosure frameworks, and a screen for overstated low-carbon claims. The table of contents and sample pages for each study show the full scope.
