Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is gaining attention as an eco-friendly and sustainable method for concrete crack repair. However, key challenges related to its large-scale implementation, regulatory approval, integration into existing construction standards remain underexplored. This review examines recent advances in MICP, emphasizing role circular economy practices building solutions. Traditional synthetic sealants contribute environmental pollution have limited long-term durability, highlighting the need greener alternatives. Global research trends reveal increasing focus on self-healing materials, biomineralization, durability enhancement, alongside emerging innovations such encapsulation technologies, marine applications, bio-based composites. Unlike previous reviews, this study integrates bibliometric analysis systematically assess trends, identify collaboration networks, evaluate that impact MICP adoption. While offers significant advantages, including capabilities compatibility with industrial by-products, barriers cost, scalability, policy persist. identifies critical thematic clusters which include microbial action, sustainability, engineering applications. helps provide actionable insights researchers, engineers, policymakers. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, has potential become a transformative solution resilient environmentally infrastructure.
