Concrete Admixtures Market Share

ID: MRFR//1462-HCR | 136 Pages | Author: Priya Nagrale| December 2024

In order to compete effectively in a changing Concrete Admixtures Market, firms have employed various market share positioning strategies that help them capture their market niche while giving them an advantage over their rivals. Firms tend to use one common method, which involves differentiation through product innovation. Unique concrete admixtures are developed through large investments in research and development, with better performance, durability, and environmental sustainability being key objectives. One other major strategy focuses on pricing. Some companies decide to become cost leaders by offering low-priced concrete admixtures. This helps them reach out to a wider section, especially those that are sensitive about prices, mainly because they need more customers. As long as they can maintain production processes such as economies of scale, then these kinds of organizations remain cheap without making product quality poor. Running business operations under such plans may lead to expanded sales volume or even larger percentage shareholding especially where total expenditure comes into play during purchasing activities across certain regions.
In the mixing of concrete, concrete admixtures are chemicals, either natural or manufactured, that are introduced to improve specific characteristics of hardened or fresh concrete. These traits enhance the workability, early and final strength, and durability of the concrete. Additionally, it enhances chemical stability and reduces water content in the mix. Thus, they function as retarders, plasticizers, waterproofing agents, air entrainers, and accelerators. Concrete admixtures act as plasticizers by lowering their water contents and air entrainers when there is a mixing of cement paste to elevate freeze-thaw resistance levels through air bubbles. The addition of beneficial chemicals like accelerators and retarders will shorten set times for mixed concretes, unlike other normal chemicals used in concreting operations. Waterproofing agents take in not only water but also soluble contaminants due to their porous nature, while others can be adversely affected by impure water. All these useful properties of admixtures are boosting global demand for admixtures.
Market penetration is a strategy that firms use to make an impact on the Concrete Admixtures Market because they want to grow within existing markets. This involves a concerted effort to expand within existing markets. By intensifying marketing and distribution efforts, companies can increase their presence and accessibility. Regional focus is one important aspect of market share positioning in Concrete Admixtures. Market Companies might base their strategies on peculiar needs and tastes in individual geographical areas. Such a strategy considers preferences in construction materials used, such as types of buildings put up under varied climate conditions with diverse regulatory requirements regarding environmental friendliness, among others.
Consequently, market share positioning is also influenced by partnership initiatives undertaken by businesses. This could involve agreement with research institutions or even other industry players such as construction firms so that both human expertise knowledge and availability of resources may be merged into one platform. Additionally, this kind of agreement tends to foster innovation processes where production techniques are improved, resulting in increased competence among parties involved in such alliances.

Concrete Admixtures Market Trends

Growing use of precast concrete and ready-mix concrete

Precast concrete is adaptable and recyclable with high strength and is highly durable which enhances the setting up of modern construction units and pre-factored buildings. The rise in demand for green buildings rises the precast concrete demand. Precast Construction consists of various precast elements such as walls, beams, slabs, columns, staircase, landing and some customized elements that are standardized and designed for stability, durability and structural integrity of the building. The expansion in the construction industry in some of the emerging countries and the growth in commercial and construction of residential activities along with hotel industry create demand for fast installations and quick results which propels the growth of precast concrete in construction sector which will help Superplasticizer market to grow in forecast period.

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.

Concrete Admixtures Market Segment Insights

Concrete Admixtures Function Insights

The Concrete Admixtures market segmentation, based on function, includes Plasticizers, Super Plasticizers, Air Entrainers, Accelerators, Retarders, Waterproofing Admixtures and others. The Plasticizers segment held the majority share in 2021 contributing to around ~28%-30% with respect to the Concrete Admixtures market revenue. Plasticizers reduce the required water content for a concrete mixture by 5 to 10%. As a result, concrete containing a water-reducing additive requires less water to achieve the desired slump than untreated concrete. The water-cement ratio of the treated concrete can be reduced. This typically means that a greater strength concrete may be made without using more cement. Admixture technological developments in recent years have resulted in the creation of mid-range water reducers. These admixtures lower water content by at least 8% and are more stable across a wider temperature range. Standard water reducers have more inconsistent setup times than mid-range water reducers. Thus, due these properties offered by plasticizers they are widely used in the construction activities.

November 2021: Euclid Chemical has disclosed that the company has acquired the business of Brett Admixtures that has wholly manufactured and commercially promoted Euclid solutions since 1998. Euclid Chemical believes that the acquisition will help expand its combined geographic footprint and boost its production and distribution operations.
