Meticulous Research®, a renowned global market research firm, recently released a comprehensive report titled “Concrete Admixtures Market by Type (Water Reducing, Water Proofing, Air Entraining, Accelerating, Retarding), Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Public Infrastructure), and Geography – Global Forecast to 2031.”
According to this report, the global concrete admixtures market is expected to reach $29.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2024 to 2031. Several factors are contributing to the market’s growth, including the enhanced functionality that admixtures bring to concrete, increasing construction activities, and the rising demand for high-performance concrete in infrastructure development. However, the market faces challenges, such as stringent government regulations on construction materials. Opportunities for growth lie in rapid urbanization and the increasing focus on sustainable construction practices, while fluctuating raw material prices present ongoing challenges.
The market is categorized by the different types of concrete admixtures, including water-reducing, waterproofing, air-entraining, accelerating, retarding, viscosity-modifying, and other types. In 2024, the water-reducing admixtures segment is projected to hold the largest market share at 21%. This dominance is due to their ability to enhance concrete durability by reducing the water/cement ratio, improving strength and workability, and lowering costs.
The waterproofing admixtures segment is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by increasing demand for water-resistant structures in various construction applications.
Concrete admixtures are used across multiple sectors such as residential, commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure. In 2024, the residential sector is forecasted to hold the largest market share at 32%, driven by factors such as the growing global population, rapid urbanization, and government initiatives supporting affordable housing. Furthermore, many governments are promoting eco-friendly construction technologies to reduce environmental impact.
However, the public infrastructure sector is anticipated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, as governments worldwide continue to invest heavily in infrastructure development.
Regionally, the market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the market in 2024, accounting for 34% of the global share. This is attributed to the region’s rapid urbanization, government investments in infrastructure projects, and increasing demand for residential and commercial buildings. Notably, according to UNICEF, Asia’s cities are growing at such a pace that 55% of the region’s population is projected to live in urban areas by 2030.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is forecasted to experience the highest growth, with a projected CAGR of 7.5% from 2024 to 2031.
