Additionally, the ready-mix concrete (RMC) is made up of cement, water, sand, and aggregates. Ready-mix concrete is particularly advantageous when small quantities of concrete or intermittent placing of concrete are required. Ready-mixed concrete is also ideal for large jobs where space is limited and there is little room for a mixing plant and aggregate stockpiles. It is customized according to the applications in commercial, residential, infrastructure, industrial sectors. In general, roadways, manufacturing facilities, and residential and commercial buildings use ready-mixed concrete. In the building sector, ready-mix concrete is frequently used.

The growing construction sector and increasing demand for new residential and commercial buildings is enhancing the growth of ready-mix concrete that offers higher quality. With ready-mix concrete widely being used as a substitute for traditional concrete on account of greater convenience, ease of use, and enhanced quality. The demand for RMC is majorly driven by the ease of installation and scarcity of manpower at the sights. RMC are also transported very easily as compared to conventional concretes which fuels the demand for RMC and superplasticizer market for more enhance durability and other properties.

Thus, the growing use of precast concrete and ready-mix concrete is likely to drive the growth of the Concrete Admixtures market revenue.
