Concrete Admixtures Market Trends




  • Growing use of precast concrete and ready-mix concrete




Precast concrete is adaptable and recyclable with high strength and is highly durable which enhances the setting up of modern construction units and pre-factored buildings. The rise in demand for green buildings rises the precast concrete demand. Precast Construction consists of various precast elements such as walls, beams, slabs, columns, staircase, landing and some customized elements that are standardized and designed for stability, durability and structural integrity of the building. The expansion in the construction industry in some of the emerging countries and the growth in commercial and construction of residential activities along with hotel industry create demand for fast installations and quick results which propels the growth of precast concrete in construction sector which will help Superplasticizer market to grow in forecast period.


Additionally, the ready-mix concrete (RMC) is made up of cement, water, sand, and aggregates. Ready-mix concrete is particularly advantageous when small quantities of concrete or intermittent placing of concrete are required. Ready-mixed concrete is also ideal for large jobs where space is limited and there is little room for a mixing plant and aggregate stockpiles. It is customized according to the applications in commercial, residential, infrastructure, industrial sectors. In general, roadways, manufacturing facilities, and residential and commercial buildings use ready-mixed concrete. In the building sector, ready-mix concrete is frequently used. The growing construction sector and increasing demand for new residential and commercial buildings is enhancing the growth of ready-mix concrete that offers higher quality. With ready-mix concrete widely being used as a substitute for traditional concrete on account of greater convenience, ease of use, and enhanced quality. The demand for RMC is majorly driven by the ease of installation and scarcity of manpower at the sights. RMC are also transported very easily as compared to conventional concretes which fuels the demand for RMC and superplasticizer market for more enhance durability and other properties. Thus, the growing use of precast concrete and ready-mix concrete is likely to drive the growth of the Concrete Admixtures market revenue.


Concrete Admixtures Market Segment Insights


Concrete Admixtures Function Insights


The Concrete Admixtures market segmentation, based on function, includes Plasticizers, Super Plasticizers, Air Entrainers, Accelerators, Retarders, Waterproofing Admixtures and others. The Plasticizers segment held the majority share in 2021 contributing to around ~28%-30% with respect to the Concrete Admixtures market revenue. Plasticizers reduce the required water content for a concrete mixture by 5 to 10%. As a result, concrete containing a water-reducing additive requires less water to achieve the desired slump than untreated concrete. The water-cement ratio of the treated concrete can be reduced. This typically means that a greater strength concrete may be made without using more cement. Admixture technological developments in recent years have resulted in the creation of mid-range water reducers. These admixtures lower water content by at least 8% and are more stable across a wider temperature range. Standard water reducers have more inconsistent setup times than mid-range water reducers. Thus, due these properties offered by plasticizers they are widely used in the construction activities.


November 2021: Euclid Chemical has disclosed that the company has acquired the business of Brett Admixtures that has wholly manufactured and commercially promoted Euclid solutions since 1998. Euclid Chemical believes that the acquisition will help expand its combined geographic footprint and boost its production and distribution operations.
