The concrete admixtures are the chemical formulations added in particular
quantity to cement or concrete to meet the functional, aesthetic, and design
requirement of civil structures. These are nowadays widely used in the
construction of residential, industrial, commercial, and infrastructure
projects. The benefits derived from the use of admixtures include improved
durability; strength; chemical resistance; color; reduction in water and
cement requirement; and enhanced working properties of concrete. These are of
two types - mineral and chemical. Mineral admixtures include fly ash, silica
slag, and rice husk ash; while chemical admixtures include super-plasticizers,
normal plasticizers, accelerating agents, retarding agents, air
entraining-agents, waterproofing admixtures, and others such as corrosion
inhibitors and coloring agents. The report covers qualitative aspect of
mineral admixtures and detailed volume (kilo tons) and value ($million)
forecasts of chemical admixtures by types and geography.
The geographic segments include Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Europe,
North America, and South America. The application segments include
residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure. The market is derived
by studying cement consumption trends, its use for manufacturing concrete, and
average usage of these admixtures by weight for various grades of concrete
across these aforesaid geography and application segments. The price trends of
these chemicals have been analyzed from annual reports of major players.
Some of the drivers identified for concrete admixtures are improving quality
of construction in developing economies, increasing demand for buildings,
roads, bridges, tunnels, and water retention structures, reduction in water
usage, and construction time. The growth in the market is resisted by
increasing prices and lack of awareness about admixtures in unorganized sector
of construction developers. The opportunities are cited in growing residential
requirements; and Middle East and Africa; and high growing economies in
Asia-Pacific region. Repair and maintenance applications will also provide
opportunities, supported by favorable growth in residential improvement and
repair spending, as well as the gradual aging of the housing stock and the
fact that many homeowners enjoy remodeling older homes.
The major players profiled in the report are Axim Italcementi Group (Italy),
Ashland Inc. (U.S.), BASF (Germany), CICO Technologies Ltd (India), The Dow
Chemical Company (U.S.), Euclid Chemical (U.S.), Fosroc (UAE), Sika AG
(Switzerland), LanYa Concrete Admixtures Co. Ltd (China), CHRYSO (France), and
W.R. Grace & Co. (U.S.).
