Latin America Joint Compound Industry

 

The joint compound industry in Latin America is set for robust growth, with market value expected to expand from USD 48.6 million in 2023 to USD 89.5 million by 2033, marking a steady CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period. This surge is driven by increasing construction activities across both residential and commercial sectors, along with rising demand for renovation and repair materials that enhance structural finishes. The market’s growth is further supported by a trend toward sustainable building practices, as joint compounds are favored for their durability, smooth finishing properties, and ease of use in wall and ceiling applications.

The use of joint compounds in construction applications is expected to surge the growing need for sophisticated coating materials with the capacity to produce quick and seamless joint finishing.  The demand for joint compounds is predicted to rise with the growing need to renovate outdated residential infrastructure and residential development.

Joint compound formulas offer reduced shrinkage, good slip, and improved working properties. These are expected to be used for taping, filling, finishing, and skim coating. The quick and seamless process lowers labor expenses and efforts while improving the product’s quality and appearance, all of which are projected to fuel the industry’s growth.

Government efforts to stimulate the economy, such as significant investments in the construction industry, particularly in constructing sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings, are driving the industry. Rising Latin America’s spending on private construction of residential and non-residential buildings is further propelling the industry. High government investments in renovating the region’s railways, highways, airports, and ports are expected to create ample opportunities for manufacturers.
