Epoxy is the most widely used product segment and accounted for more than 60% of total market volume in 2015. The product is limited to indoor application owing to environmental concerns, such as UV exposure.
Rustic and polyacrylate, on the other hand, are recommended for outdoor areas as they are hard and can withstand adverse environmental conditions. Such factors are anticipated to balance the overall demand in the near future.
The educational sector dominated the application segment and accounted for over 45% of total market volume in 2015. The increase in the number of educational institutes, universities, auditoriums and schools in the U.S. is expected to remain a key factor for higher penetration of terrazzo in this sector. The segment is also expected to witness the highest growth of 4.6% over the forecast period.
Terrazzo used in commercial buildings, meanwhile, is expected to reach a market worth more than $200 million by 2024.
