Construction chemicals aid in binding cement, concrete, and construction components during building creation, speeding up processes and enhancing structure sustainability and strength.
Construction chemicals encompass several key types such as concrete admixtures, waterproofing and roofing materials, repair products, flooring solutions, sealants and adhesives, and additional variants. Concrete admixtures, for instance, are additives incorporated during concrete mixing to improve various properties such as workability, durability, and strength of the fresh or hardened concrete. These chemicals find applications across a range of sectors including commercial, industrial, infrastructure, residential, and public spaces within the construction industry.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the construction chemicals market by increasing costs of imported specialty additives, polymers, resins, and chemical intermediates used in admixtures, sealants, and waterproofing products. Infrastructure and commercial construction projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented chemical production. These tariffs are raising project material costs and tightening contractor margins. However, they are also encouraging local chemical manufacturing, regional sourcing of inputs, and innovation in cost-efficient formulations.

The construction chemicals market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $57.54 billion in 2025 to $63.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of global construction activities, rising urban infrastructure development, increasing use of ready-mix concrete, growing demand for durable building materials, adoption of modern construction techniques.
The construction chemicals market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $91.95 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable infrastructure, rising demand for low-carbon construction materials, expansion of smart city projects, growing focus on long-lasting building solutions, increasing renovation and retrofitting activities. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of green construction chemicals, rising demand for high-performance concrete admixtures, growing use of advanced waterproofing solutions, expansion of repair and rehabilitation chemicals, enhanced focus on durability and lifecycle performance.
The rising demand for construction is significantly contributing to the growth of the construction chemicals market. Construction involves building, altering, repairing, remodeling, improving, or demolishing various structures. Construction chemicals help reduce abrasions and strengthen bonds, thereby extending the lifespan of buildings. For instance, in February 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, construction spending in 2024 reached about US$ 2,154.4 billion, which is 6.5% higher than the approximately US$ 2,023.7 billion spent in 2023. Therefore, the growth in construction activity is expected to drive the expansion of the construction chemicals market.
Major companies operating in the construction chemicals market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to enhance technology integration and expand market reach. A strategic partnership typically refers to a collaborative relationship between two or more organizations where they combine their resources, expertise, and efforts to achieve common goals or objectives.
