Concrete Admixtures Market by Type (Superplasticizers, Normal Plasticizers, Accelerating Admixtures, Retarding Admixtures, Air-entraining Admixtures), Application (Residential, Commercial, Infrastructure), and Region - Global Forecast to 2028

In terms of value, the concrete admixtures market is estimated to grow from USD 18.6 billion in 2023 to USD 25.9 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.9%. The emerging construction industry and mounting urbanization trend are driving the concrete admixtures market. Concrete admixtures offer several advantages for infrastructure projects, such as improved durability, reduced maintenance water requirements & costs, and improved safety.

“Superplasticizers are estimated to be the largest type of concrete admixtures, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”

The demand for superplasticizers is probable to undergo significant growth, mainly due to their exceptional water-reducing performance of up to 30%. Superplasticizers are chemical admixtures added to concrete in small amounts to enhance its workability. They work by dispersing cement particles, preventing them from clumping together, and increasing the fluidity of the mix. This allows for several benefits, including early strength, enriched surface finish, increased workability, and others.

“Residential is expected to be the largest application of the concrete admixtures market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”

The residential application in the concrete admixture market is projected to experience speedy growth. This is driven by a surge in demand for residential buildings worldwide, fueled by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and economic development. This demand is particularly high in developing countries, where rapid urbanization is leading to the construction of large numbers of new homes and apartments. Additionally, the increasing adoption of concrete admixtures enhances the effectiveness of safety solutions in complex residential building requirements.

“Europe is projected to be the second-largest region, in terms of value, during the forecast period in the waterproofing admixtures market.”

Stringent building codes and regulations mandated by the European Union further contribute to market growth by necessitating the use of concrete admixtures across diverse applications. Also, the region's significant demand for concrete solutions stems from its extensive and aging infrastructure, residential buildings, encompassing roads, bridges, and tunnels, emphasizing the need to protect and extend the lifespan of these structures. Accordingly, Europe is projected to be the second-largest region of the concrete admixtures market during the forecast period.
