Middle East & Africa Construction Chemicals Market Outlook, 2028

Middle East & Africa Construction Chemicals Market Outlook, 2028


The Middle East & Africa construction chemicals market has been steadily growing as the region's construction activities have expanded. Population growth, urbanization, infrastructural expansion, and the demand for sustainable construction techniques are driving the growth. Given the region's diverse environment, waterproofing chemicals and solutions are in great demand. These products are critical for preventing moisture-related damage to structures, and advances in waterproofing materials are being rigorously monitored to assure durability and structural integrity. Middle East & Africa is seeing rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, particularly in nations such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria. This trend is increasing the use of construction chemicals in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as transportation and energy infrastructure. As current infrastructure deteriorates, there is a growing demand for repair and rehabilitation options. Middle East & Africa is seeing advancements in repair materials and technology, such as enhanced repair mortars, grouts, and corrosion inhibitors, to help structures last longer and cost less to maintain. In the Middle East & Africa construction chemicals business, digital technologies are making an impact. Technology integration is speeding construction operations, improving quality control, and decreasing waste, from smart concrete that can monitor its own health to data-driven construction material selection. Smart materials and coatings with self-healing characteristics or the ability to adjust to environmental changes are gaining popularity. These materials can self-repair cracks, monitor structural health, and adapt to changing environmental conditions, thereby increasing structure longevity and performance. As the region's cities grow, there is a greater need for enhanced transportation infrastructure, such as highways, bridges, and tunnels. Construction chemicals that improve structure durability and performance are in high demand.

According to the research report, “Middle East & Africa Construction Chemicals Market Outlook, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to reach market size of more than USD 9 Billion by 2028. Neom is a futuristic mega-city project in Saudi Arabia's northwest. It aspires to be an innovation and sustainability center. The expansion of Neom City necessitates major infrastructure development, such as roads, buildings, and resorts, which necessitates the use of a wide range of construction chemicals, such as concrete admixtures, sealants, and waterproofing solutions. Egypt is constructing a new administrative capital city east of Cairo. Government buildings, residential complexes, and infrastructure are all part of the project. This advancement has increased the need for building chemicals in a variety of applications. Construction of industrial facilities and infrastructure is required for the growth of economic zones such as RAKEZ. This has resulted in an increase in demand for construction chemicals to aid in the construction of factories, warehouses, and offices. The Middle East & Africa construction chemicals market is primarily driven by the construction and infrastructure sectors. This covers residential, commercial, and industrial building construction, as well as infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and trains. Concrete admixtures, waterproofing materials, sealants, and coatings are all required for these projects. The oil and gas industry, particularly in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Nigeria, is a major driver of demand for construction chemicals. This business necessitates the use of specific building materials in the construction of refineries, petrochemical facilities, storage tanks, and pipelines. The mining industry in some Middle East & Africa countries, such as South Africa, relies on construction chemicals for the construction of mining infrastructure, including processing plants, mine shafts, and storage facilities.

Based on report market is divided into three major countries, UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Among them Saudi Arabia is expected to dominate the market of Middle East & Africa.

Saudi Arabia's construction chemicals sector is rapidly increasing. The rapid growth of the industry is mostly due to the rapid expansion of the country's construction sector. Furthermore, rising residential demand and increased awareness of the benefits of building chemicals, such as higher stability, resistance, and corrosion inhibition, are expected to fuel market expansion in the future. Furthermore, upcoming infrastructure megaprojects across the economy, with a special emphasis on renewable energy development projects, are accelerating market expansion. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia's rising economy and substantial oil reserves lead to greater governmental investment in commercial city construction and related infrastructure, providing enormous growth potential for the country's building chemical producers. Despite its dry environment, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia heavily relies on desalination to generate freshwater. Desalination plants require specialized construction chemicals for corrosion protection and durability during construction and maintenance. Traditional building methods and materials have been adapted to the harsh environment of Saudi Arabia's desert regions. Construction chemicals improve the performance of traditional building materials such as mud bricks and adobe by boosting their ability to withstand high temperatures and act as insulation. Saudi Arabia has been sponsoring large-scale programs such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Project as part of its efforts to diversify its economy. Modern construction chemicals are necessary for these projects in order to apply new and ecologically friendly construction procedures.

In terms of product type market is divided into concrete admixture, waterproofing chemicals, repair and rehabilitation, adhesives and sealants, industrial flooring, surface treatment, cement grinding aids, protective coatings and grout and anchor. Waterproofing chemicals segment is expected to register highest register CAGR in Middle East & Africa.

Middle East & Africa is noted for its diverse climate, which ranges from barren deserts to high-rainfall areas. This variety in weather causes a significant demand for waterproofing solutions. Waterproofing chemicals are needed in desert regions such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia to protect structures from water penetration during infrequent but large rainstorms. Waterproofing is required in locations with more frequent rainfall to minimize water damage in buildings, tunnels, and infrastructure projects. Significant infrastructure development is taking place in the Middle East & Africa region, including the construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, and subsurface utilities. Waterproofing chemicals are required to protect these structures from moisture-related difficulties such as corrosion, concrete deterioration, and crack formation. The Middle East & Africa region contains a sizable share of the world's oil and gas reserves, necessitating major infrastructure in this industry. Waterproofing chemicals are critical for preventing corrosion and leakage in oil and gas facilities, tanks, and pipelines, assuring the safety and integrity of these assets. Middle East & Africa nations with thriving tourist sectors, such as the UAE and Egypt, are building a plethora of hotels and resorts. Waterproofing chemicals are required to safeguard these structures from water damage and to provide guests with a comfortable experience.

Based on end-user industry market is bifurcated into commercial, residential, industrial and infrastructure. Residential segment is expected to register highest CAGR in Middle East & Africa.

Middle East & Africa is witnessing tremendous population expansion and urbanization, with a large section of the population migrating from rural to urban areas. This tendency has resulted in an increase in residential construction projects, such as housing complexes, apartment buildings, and single-family homes, fueling demand for construction chemicals.
