Construction chemicals additive mixtures are kind of specialty chemicals which are added to improve the durability of the building.
Among the different subtypes in concrete admixtures, superplasticizers generated a revenue of $8031.6 million in 2020 and are projected with the highest CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period.
Rapid urbanization, increasing demand for better infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region is one of the reasons driving the market growth of Construction chemicals additive.
Rapid urbanization and industrialization are expected to accelerate the market growth for the construction chemical additives industry.
Construction Chemicals are the chemical compounds used in construction activities such as residential, non-residential or non-building.
Construction chemicals can also be termed as specialty chemicals.
These compounds can be used either in existing construction projects to speed up the work or in new construction projects to impart durability and strengthen the structures.
Some of the chemical additives help in minimizing the quantities of cement and water used in the construction.
These compounds impart chemical as well as physical properties in applications such as cross-linking or phase change.
Construction chemicals are essential for high-quality concrete and for improving concrete performance. These chemicals also increase the lifespan of the construction work and provide additional protection from environmental hazards.
Construction chemicals are further segmented into concrete additives, waterproofing agents, leveling agents, sealants, adhesives, grout, and mortar.
Concrete additives are kind of additives which are added to construction chemicals, which helps in enhancing the concreteness of the chemical properties as well as physical properties.
Concrete additives such as plasticizers, superplasticizers, accelerating agents, retarding agents and waterproofing additives are used extensively as they provide flexibility to the designers to modify and to enhance the physical concreteness.
According to some market analysis, concrete additives is dominating the market, which is followed by leveling agents.
Though the manufacturing of leveling agents product is more than waterproofing agents in number but the market share for waterproofing agent is more than leveling agent.
The construction industry is currently looking forward to onboard the use of sustainable products. Mold release agents are the perfect product for such purpose, mold release helps to prevent adhesion of newly placed concrete to the forming surface.
Corrosion inhibition is the process to prevent corrosion to increase the life span of any constructional structure, corrosion inhibitors are developed with such a design which helps to make structures corrosion resilient. Based on some market insights this developed design will increase the market share of construction chemical additive.
One of the current trends in construction chemical additives is the inclusion of nanotechnology.
The use of nanotechnology enhances strength, toughness, flexibility, stability and durability.
Hence, the use of nano inclusions for harnessing such properties has attained a wide scope. However, the current studies are confined to the laboratory stage.
Therefore, a lot more extensive studies are being carried out to make this technology economically viable.
Currently, the consumers are preferring low-odor and easy cleanup water-based products.
Thus companies are focusing on the manufacture of better-performing, longer-lasting products and easy to use mixtures. This improvement will boost the value of the construction chemicals market in the forecast period.
The traditional construction methods lead to the accumulation of waste products and toxic chemicals which almost take ages to degrade. These contaminants harm the environment.
Companies are manufacturing biodegradable construction additives to limit the negative impacts on the environment as they easily breakdown without the release of toxins.
The development of this technology is seeking attention all over the world. This technology is predicted to increase the market share for the construction chemical market.
