The growing awareness of environmental hazards caused by conventional buildings and changes in government policies globally are the key reasons for construction chemical adoption, especially for building activities. Some major players in the construction industry are focusing on underground structure protection with green and sustainable materials, polycarboxylate ether-based green admixtures, thermal insulation, overall building protection, cool roof treatment, and others, which will play a vital role in sustainability.
Additionally, Chemicals used in the construction sector increase the overall cost, though it is more beneficial to the environment. Construction chemicals add more strength and corrosion resistance to the infrastructure, and they also bring down the cement and water volume used during the construction process. Moreover, the major purpose for the adoption of construction chemicals is that enhances the performance of buildings such as structural tapes, thermoset hot melts, and multi-purpose adhesives. The judicious use will change the global residential and non-residential market and will have a positive impact on the environment.
May 2023: Sika, a globally acclaimed construction chemicals industry player, purchased the MBCC Group, which contained waterproofing solutions, anchors, grouts, flooring resins, and repair and rehabilitation chemicals, among others, apart from its concrete admixture business activities in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
April 2023: Flowcrete, a subsidiary company of RPM International Inc., reported that one year has been added to the warranty period for all of its gooey flooring resins to make them durable for a further 12 months than the earlier stated storage dates without their damages or performance’s drop-in quality.
The Construction Chemicals Market segmentation, based on Type, includes concrete admixtures, flooring chemicals, waterproofing chemicals, repair & rehabilitation chemicals, and others. Cement is widely used as a binding material within construction, cement is added with crushed rock, water, and sand in precise quantities to produce concrete. Concrete admixtures are then added to improve the properties of the concrete. They provide benefits such as low cement water ratio, improved setting time, prevent settlement, reduce segregation, and Improve pump ability. The growing construction industry in China, India, the UK, and Germany is causing the high usage of concrete admixtures, which will cause the growth of the construction chemicals market.
Based on Application, the Construction Chemicals Market segmentation includes residential and non-residential. Among these non-residential segment dominated due to growing infrastructure development. Demand for commercial buildings, bridges, roads, dams, and tunnels is further driving the market growth. Additionally, growing disposable economies along with a high population rate are causing a high demand for high-end and better-quality structures for public use, which is acting as a growth driver for global construction chemicals.
