The Global Biocementation Market Size is Anticipated to Hold a Significant Share by 2033, at 5.9% CAGR from 2023 to 2033.  

Market Overview

Biocementation is a process that uses biological agents to improve the properties of soil or other materials, making them more stable and durable. Biocementation is a technology that uses biological processes to improve the characteristics of soil and rocks by precipitating minerals such as calcium carbonate. One common method is the microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) process, which enhances soil stability, reduces erosion, and repairs damaged structures. This eco-friendly technique is used in construction, civil engineering, and environmental remediation. The biocementation approach is utilized in a wide range of applications, including soil stability for buildings, groundwater cleanup by limiting contamination spread, and erosion management to avoid soil loss.
