Formwork System Market to Hit US$ 9.32 Billion by 2031 Amid Global Construction Boom

Formwork System Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Offerings (Solutions and Services) and Material Used (Wood, Metal, and Others) and Geography
Published 20 February 2026

The Global Formwork System Market is on a steady and promising growth trajectory, driven by accelerating construction activity across both developing and developed economies. According to a comprehensive market research report published by The Insight Partners, the formwork system market is projected to grow from US$ 6.32 billion in 2024 to US$ 9.32 billion by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2031. This consistent expansion reflects the construction sector's growing reliance on advanced, reusable, and cost-efficient formwork solutions to meet the demands of modern large-scale infrastructure development.

Market Overview and Segmentation

The formwork system market is segmented by offering and material used. By offering, the market is divided into solutions and services, with the solutions segment holding the larger market share as construction companies increasingly seek comprehensive, end-to-end formwork systems for complex projects. By material used, the market covers wood, metal, and other materials — with the wood segment holding a significant share due to its widespread availability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness across a broad range of construction applications.

Geographically, the market spans North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South and Central America, and the Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific leads the global formwork system market, driven by the region's aggressive infrastructure development agenda, government-led smart city initiatives, and the growing need to renovate and maintain ageing buildings across major economies including China, India, Japan, and South Korea.

Key Growth Drivers

Growth in the Construction Sector stands as the primary driver propelling the formwork system market forward. The rapid expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects — particularly in emerging economies — is generating strong and sustained demand for advanced formwork solutions. As buildings grow taller and floor plates become larger, end users are increasingly seeking formwork systems that are lightweight, reusable, durable, flexible, and easy to assemble and dismantle. Governments across multiple regions are responding to this surge by providing financial assistance and incentives to the construction sector, further amplifying the demand for high-performance formwork systems. Additionally, the growing investment in renovating older structures and the rising inclination toward green buildings are expanding the construction industry's scope and, by extension, the formwork systems market.

Growth in Adoption of Formwork System Rental Services represents another significant and increasingly important market driver. Rental services offer a compelling cost-effective alternative to outright procurement, eliminating the need for large upfront capital investments that can strain project budgets. This financial flexibility is particularly attractive for construction companies and contractors managing multiple projects with varying and complex formwork requirements. Rental services also offer the flexibility to select the most appropriate formwork system for each specific project's structural and design needs — an advantage that is proving highly influential in driving broader market adoption globally, especially as infrastructure projects grow in scale and complexity.

Future Trends

The advent of new formwork technologies is identified as the key future trend shaping the market. Innovations in formwork design, materials science, and digital integration — including the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to plan and optimize formwork deployment — are enhancing construction efficiency, reducing material waste, and lowering overall project costs. The industry is also seeing growing interest in self-climbing and automated formwork systems that reduce labor dependency and accelerate construction timelines on high-rise and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Recent Developments

The market has witnessed notable strategic activity among leading players. Paschal International deployed 800 m² of LOGO.3 wall formwork systems alongside 12 climbing systems and over 440 tonnes of scaffolding for the prestigious Bjarke Ingels Group project, demonstrating the growing demand for technically sophisticated formwork in iconic architectural projects. Meanwhile, PERI Vertrieb Deutschland acquired Implenia Schalungsbau GmbH in January 2023, strengthening its engineering and special formwork capabilities and expanding its capacity in the high-rise and infrastructure segments.

Competitive Landscape

The global formwork system market features a diverse and competitive set of players including Doka GmbH, PERI, Paschal International, Alsina Formwork, Efco Corp, Meva Formwork Systems, Forsa S.A., MFE Formwork Technology, Brand Industrial Services, and Shandong Xingang Formwork Co. Ltd. These companies are actively investing in product innovation, strategic acquisitions, and geographic expansion to capture the growing opportunities presented by booming global construction activity.

Conclusion

With the market poised to grow from US$ 6.32 billion in 2024 to US$ 9.32 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 5.9%, the formwork system market represents a solid and growing opportunity for manufacturers, rental service providers, investors, and construction companies worldwide. Driven by the construction boom in emerging economies, the rising adoption of rental services, and continuous technological innovation in formwork design and materials, the market is well-positioned for sustained and profitable growth through the decade ahead.
