Dry mix mortar is produced by mixing different raw materials, including sand, limestone powder, binders like cement, white cement, hydrated lime, and gypsum, and additives like methylcellulose, synthetic resin, hydrophobic agent, and others. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Dry mix mortar market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors such as the increasing demand for every construction include rendering to achieve deliberately smooth and textured surfaces and increasing the usage of dry mix mortar for rendering, which is expected to drive the demand for Dry mix mortar market in the forecasted period. Further, an increasing number of residential and non-residential construction activities commenced across appearing economies is predicted to drive the acquisition of dry mix mortar which is expected to drive the global market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, green construction approaches are increasingly used by construction businesses to create energy-efficient structures at lower costs which are expected to drive the demand for the Dry mix mortar market in the forecasted period. However, unlike some other materials, which may get weakened in case of too much mixing, dry mix mortar can be spread and trowelled again and again until it begins to harden. The elevated price of dry mix mortars is restraining the market's growth in the forecasted period.

Dry mix mortar is a versatile material used widely and surging in adoption in the global construction industry. Mortar is a fusion of cement and sand. Although it does not have the same strength as concrete, it can be used as an adhesive material to deposit bricks and other masonry blocks, fix tiles, and coat buildings as renders, among other applications.

The primary market driving factor is the rising urban population and the growing trend of the construction industry globally, especially in Asian countries such as China and India. Rendering has a more proportion of cement in its composition and is utilized to coat the exterior surfaces of buildings. Rendering is utilized on the outside of buildings to enhance the appearance of the exterior façade while also requiring waterproofing and fireproofing benefits. Dry mix products offer excellent technical properties to meet the stringent performance requirements expected in the current construction scenario. Using dry mix mortar products is economical as they decrease potential construction problems by assuring the long-term integrity of structures with a simple materials approach. Dry mixed mortar includes a precise blend of materials and only needs the addition of water to produce a suitable render. Dry mix mortar comprises special additives that enhance the workability of renders, help them bond to the background, and minimize the risk of cracking. It can also utilize them for decorative finishes. The render is inspired from the silo through a hose and poured onto the walls with exclusive equipment designed for the job. Dry mix mortar provides superior properties such as time, slip resistance, workability, and excellent adhesion, thus, the surging new construction activities enhance dry mix mortar's consumption as tile adhesives. Render accounts for the highest use of dry mix mortar globally. The use of dry mix mortar in rendering applications is preferred in North America.

The Asia Pacific dominated the global dry mix mortar market due to the increasing commercial and infrastructural constructions, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Japan, Indonesia, and South Korea. Additionally, the surging population in India and China is mainly contributing to an increase in residential construction, which will stimulate the overall usage of dry mix mortar. In India, NMIA is one of the world's most significant greenfield airport projects, with 60 million passengers yearly by 2030. In contrast with traditional cement processing methods, dry-mix mortar is more eco-friendly by reducing waste production and carbon emissions, which form a suitable green construction material. A rising trend of green buildings and their growing demand due to extensive environmental degradation is expected to drive the market in the forecast period. Concrete is stronger and more durable than mortar. The latter, a mixture of water, cement, and sand, has a higher water-to-cement ratio than concrete. Mortar thus has a thicker consistency, making it an excellent adhesive and bonding agent for bricks and tiles. It can reduce the waste of materials and resources on-site as dry mix mortar can be better quantified and measured for the demanded application. Also, one of the most consequential benefits of dry mix mortar is the time saved as dry mix mortar can be easily combined, stirred and pumped by machine, making the overall process more effective. Dry mix mortar can be smoothly transported and stored in bags or silos and must only be mixed with water before use. Dry mix mortar is produced in unique dry mix mortar plants. The binders and aggregate materials needed for the dry mix mortar are combined in the appropriate amounts to maximize the vital material properties of the dry mix, such as the workability, consistency, water retention and strength of the hardened mortar. Different additives and admixtures can be added to the dry mix mortar composition to improve the technical performance of the material. Thus, it can produce mixtures with other properties depending on the application type. Cement grouts are utilized in forming pressure to fill forms, voids and cracks while adding cement or reinforced concrete in several establishments. Cement grout is usually made from a mixture of water, cement and sand used in pressure grouting, filling voids, connecting pre-cast concrete sections, and embedding rebar in masonry walls and ceiling joints such as those between tiles. Cement grouts can be used in various establishments, dams, bridges, marine applications and rock anchors. This drives the demand for cement grouts in the dry mix mortar market.
