Concrete Admixtures Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Air-Entraining Agents, Accelerating Admixtures, Waterproofing Admixtures and Other Products), Application (Commercial, Infrastructure, Residential and Industrial) and By Geography

Concrete Admixtures Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Air-Entraining Agents, Accelerating Admixtures, Waterproofing Admixtures and Other Products), Application (Commercial, Infrastructure, Residential and Industrial) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Concrete Admixtures Market is accounted for $19.93 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $35.70 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Concrete admixtures are compounds that are added to fresh or hardened concrete during mixing to improve properties such as workability, durability, or early and final strength. Concrete admixtures are used to improve the performance of concrete in a variety of applications. Concrete admixtures reduce construction costs, change the properties of hardened concrete, preserve concrete quality throughout mixing, shipping, placement, and curing, and handle a variety of situations that may develop during concrete operations.

According to the US Census Bureau, the volume of new single-family home construction in the United States in 2022 was 1,010 and is expected to reach 900 in total numbers of housing.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing application of concrete admixture in construction and infrastructure

The market for concrete admixture is dominated by road and bridge construction, which is predicted to increase at a rapid pace during the forecast period. UHPC can be utilized in building construction as a column, structural precast element, and facade. Furthermore, the expanding tendency of developing high-rise townships and residential complexes, as well as the decreasing land-to-population ratio, are expected to fuel market expansion.

Restraint:

Environmental impacts caused by concrete

Concrete emissions may limit the usage of concrete-type admixtures. A considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the environment as a result of the use of Portland cement in concrete pavements. This contributes to contamination of the air, water, and soil, as well as adverse effects on human health. Moreover, several environmental rules have been enacted by governments in several countries. As a result, these factors act as a restraint on the expansion of the concrete admixtures market.

Opportunity:

Increasing plasticizer demand

This market is rapidly expanding due to rising demand for plasticizers in a variety of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Plasticizers are often composed of calcium, ammonium lignosulphonates, and sodium, and are classified as super and normal plasticizers. They are excellent for removing water from concrete and provide high strength, longevity, and a strong link between steel and concrete. Furthermore, workability is an important property of concrete that improves with the addition of water; but, if too much water is added, the strength and durability of the concrete are compromised.

Threat:

Unavailability of skilled labour

Concrete admixtures are essential in the construction sector. The demand for particular admixtures is determined by their qualities and the applications for which they are utilised. Because the construction industry is the primary end-user for the market, changes in the construction sector may have a direct impact on market growth. Lack of skilled labour in the unorganised construction industry would act as a market restraint, posing additional challenges to the expansion of the concrete admixtures market during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact

The interruption in the construction sector caused by government limitations imposed during the COVID-19 epidemic had a considerable impact on the use of concrete admixtures. This pandemic had caused uncertainty and extraordinary delays in construction projects. Furthermore, the building construction processing remained blocked due to machinery closures, a significant shortage of trained and skilled labour, and a scarcity of raw materials. However, several governments are enacting supportive policies in order to re-establish their economies. As a result, the construction industry is projected to stabilise during the next few years.

The water-reducing admixtures segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The water-reducing admixtures segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The water-reducing admixtures are also known as plasticizers. The increasing demand for these plasticizers in the residential and commercial construction industries due to their water-saving capabilities will drive market growth. When heat causes it to form up too quickly, concrete can become too weak if too much water is added to keep it pourable. The amount of water in the mix will increase the strength of the concrete. A water-reducer is one of the greatest concrete admixtures for increased strength and durability. Water-reducing admixtures, for example, are commonly employed in the formulation of foundation concrete.

The residential segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The residential segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, owing to the growing urbanisation and increased housing demand globally. Increasing consumer disposable income, combined with the growing tendency of the nuclear family, has resulted in a high demand for residential buildings. Various government programmes in Canada, such as the Affordable Housing Initiative (AHI), New Building Canada Plan (NBCP), and Made in Canada, aided the sector's growth. As a result, the overall market growth of concrete admixtures will be boosted further.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Rapid infrastructure development and rising demand for cheap housing have propelled Asia Pacific market expansion. Asia-Pacific includes the largest low-cost housing construction segment, led by China, India, and Southeast Asian countries. China has the largest market share in this region and is the fastest-growing country. The growing population, increasing urbanisation, and rising household income levels are the primary drivers driving the growth of the residential sector in this country.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the region's growing need for cutting-edge construction materials and the related market from the residential application. The rise in the older population has highlighted the need for investment in the construction of healthcare facilities, which will also help market expansion.
