Construction Chemicals Market Growth Factors, Applications, Regional Analysis, Key Players

The construction chemicals market is predicted to witness the fastest growth in Asia-Pacific (APAC) during the forecast period, registering a CAGR of 7.1% in terms of value. The growth of the market in the region would be primarily driven by the increasing requirement for construction chemicals from nations such as India and China. China is considered the construction capital of the world, and the construction activities in the country are gaining momentum at a high rate. Besides, the healthy demand for construction products in China is buoyed by huge investments by the government in infrastructure projects.

Besides, green building materials can potentially reduce emissions, owing to which the number of green buildings being constructed is growing globally, thereby driving the construction chemicals market. Construction chemicals enhance the overall durability of buildings besides providing them protection against environmental hazards. Apart from this, awareness on energy conservation has been rising around the world, due to which real estate companies are shifting toward eco-friendly construction chemicals. Thus, the increasing awareness about the eco-friendliness of green buildings is a key factor leading to the increasing adoption of construction chemicals around the world.


High rate of population growth and the resulting demand for infrastructure are encouraging private players to invest in the industry generously. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, owing to the investments made by the private sector in residential and commercial real estate projects in Mexico, the growth rate of construction activities in the country increased by 2.0% in 2016 compared to 2015. Therefore, private investment in the construction domain is expected to offer immense growth opportunities to the construction chemicals market players.



Based on type, adhesives, sealants, concrete admixtures, asphalt modifiers, protective coatings, and others are the various categories of the construction chemicals market.
