The global Iron Oxide Expanding Agent market size is predicted to grow from US$ 633 million in 2025 to US$ 850 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2026 to 2032.

An Iron Oxide Expanding Agent is a functional inorganic additive?typically based on finely controlled iron oxide (mainly Fe?O? or Fe?O?) powders?used in cementitious, refractory, and specialty construction materials to generate controlled volumetric expansion during hydration or thermal reactions, thereby compensating for shrinkage, improving dimensional stability, and reducing cracking in concrete, grouts, mortars, and refractory linings. The supply chain begins with iron ore mining or steel-industry by-products (such as mill scale), followed by iron oxide synthesis or recovery through calcination, oxidation, or chemical precipitation; the material then undergoes particle-size classification, surface treatment, and formulation to meet expansion performance and compatibility requirements. Finished expanding agents are supplied by specialty inorganic chemical and construction additive manufacturers, distributed through building-materials distributors or direct OEM channels, and ultimately used by ready-mix concrete producers, precast manufacturers, refractory producers, and infrastructure contractors in applications requiring shrinkage compensation, crack control, and enhanced long-term durability. In 2025, the global Iron Oxide Expanding Agent market achieved an annual production volume of approximately 2.05 million tons against a global production capacity of about 2.45 million tons, with average unit prices ranging from USD 260?420 per ton, while the industry maintained a gross margin of around 24%.
