Market Overview

The floor screed market encompasses products used to create a smooth, level surface over structural bases prior to the installation of final floor finishes. Typically composed of cementitious, anhydrite, or polymer-based materials, floor screeds serve as a critical intermediary layer that supports load distribution, improves surface durability, and enhances resistance to moisture and wear.

Floor screeds are widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings as a necessary step before installing tiles, vinyl, wood, or carpet flooring. In addition to surface leveling, screeds play an important role in accommodating underfloor heating systems and improving thermal and acoustic performance. As construction standards evolve toward durability, efficiency, and sustainability, floor screeds remain an indispensable component of modern building practices.

Key Market Growth Drivers

Rising Global Construction and Infrastructure Development Investments

One of the primary drivers of the floor screed market is the steady increase in global construction and infrastructure spending. New residential housing projects, commercial complexes, hospitality facilities, healthcare institutions, and educational buildings continue to generate strong demand for reliable and high-performance flooring substrates.

Governments and private developers across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa are investing heavily in infrastructure projects such as airports, railway stations, industrial parks, logistics hubs, and manufacturing facilities. These developments require durable, load-bearing flooring systems capable of withstanding heavy traffic and mechanical stress, thereby increasing demand for advanced screed solutions.

Increased Adoption of Fast-Track, Modern Flooring Installation Solutions

The growing emphasis on speed, efficiency, and reduced downtime in construction projects has accelerated the adoption of fast-track building methods. As a result, rapid-setting, self-leveling, and polymer-modified screeds are increasingly replacing traditional slow-curing solutions.

Modern screed formulations allow faster drying times and earlier installation of final floor coverings, helping developers reduce labor costs, shorten project timelines, and accelerate project handovers. This trend is particularly prominent in commercial spaces such as retail outlets, office buildings, and hospitality venues, where faster reopening or occupancy directly impacts revenue generation.

Technological advancements have also enabled the development of screeds with improved flow, higher compressive strength, and enhanced compatibility with underfloor heating systems. These innovations are reshaping flooring installation practices across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Market Challenges & Opportunities

Despite its positive outlook, the floor screed market faces certain challenges, including fluctuating raw material prices, the need for skilled labor for proper installation, and performance issues arising from improper application techniques.

However, these challenges also create opportunities for innovation and differentiation. The development of fiber-reinforced, low-carbon, and self-leveling screeds presents significant growth potential, particularly as sustainability and green-building standards gain importance. Increased certification and standardization efforts by major suppliers are also improving market confidence and enabling wider adoption in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Recent Developments

• In 2025, (MBT-Construction Chemicals) and Master Builders Solutions (BASF's construction chemicals arm) revealed plans to widen their footprint in India. The move is quite a powerful one for the flooring screed segment as the Master Builders' admixture and flow-technology (SLS-type screed solutions) drastically improve pumpability, workability, and early strength - properties that are very important for large commercial and infrastructural floors.

• In 2025, MAPEI detailed changes to its fast screed and self-levelling products, thereby focusing on quick return-to-service and the ability to work with underfloor heating. A series of new technical bulletins describes the products as having better flow, less shrinkage, and being made of components that can bond to a variety of substrates while facilitating thin bed depths. These changes make less the project time frame, especially in retail, logistics and multi-residential fit-out areas where the early tile or finishing installation is of most necessity.

• In 2024, Sika heightened its cementitious screed range with the introduction of SikaScreed® P-24 (a rapid-hardening, low-shrinkage binder) and the expansion of its "rapid-apply, sustainable" flooring ranges to more markets. These products point to quicker hardening at the site, lower shrinkage (thus minimising cracking), and better sustainability features (binders with reduced CO2 footprint and packaging that is recyclable).

• In 2024, Saint-Gobain's decision to acquire FOSROC (completion milestone in Feb 2025) is a significant consolidation move in construction chemicals. The deal extended Saint-Gobain's reach in the Asia, the Middle East, and India markets - areas where fast-track screeds and cementitious flooring are growing rapidly.

Market Segmentations

By Type

• Bonded Screed (Largest segment, accounting for 51% market share in 2024)
• Unbonded Screed
• Floating Screed

Bonded screeds dominate due to their excellent adhesion, high load-bearing capacity, low thickness, and superior resistance to cracking and impact, making them ideal for commercial, industrial, and renovation projects.

By Region

• Asia Pacific (Leading region with 43% revenue share in 2024)
• North America
• Europe
• Latin America
• Middle East & Africa

Asia Pacific leads the market due to large-scale urbanization, government-led infrastructure upgrades, rapid residential and commercial construction, and increasing demand for fast-installation screed solutions in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
