Major Construction Additives Market Drivers

Construction additives market is primarily driven by growing demand for high-quality building supplies, increasing population growth rates, rising urbanization, rising population growth rates and large-scale investments in infrastructure projects. Urbanization has increased rapidly in the last two decades. Urbanization worldwide has helped people come out of poverty, as people are migrating to urban areas for better work opportunities. As urbanization is rising, demand for affordable houses and various commercial centers is also increasing, which is positively impacting the construction industry. As per United Nation’s estimates, in 2018, more than 50% of the world’s population was living in urban areas, this figure is projected to increase to reach 68% by 2050. Majority of this increase will happen in developing countries in Asia and African region like India, Nigeria and China, as the governments are focussing to build new cities and towns. As urbanization is growing rapidly, demand for the construction of new residential apartments, commercial and industrial facilities, are increasing which will create lucrative growth opportunities for construction additives market in the coming years.

Additives finds its application in the construction industry for improving strength of cement and other building materials. Construction additives can withstand adverse climatic conditions, minimizes the quantity of water used in cement, and are resistant to external damage. Furthermore, construction additives increase physical and chemical properties of concrete, which helps in producing concrete less cracks and defects. Governments in various countries are focussing on increasing their spending on the construction of tunnels, bridges and roads, to improve logistic infrastructure in their construction, which is expected to create growth opportunities for construction additives manufacturers to expand their business. For instance, the government of India allocated around INR 2.1 lakh crore to the ministry of roads, transport, and highways for FY 2023 for constructing roads, tunnels, highways, and expressways in the country. This budget allocation is approximately 25% more as compared to revised estimates for 2022-23. However, additives like plasticizers are majorly made from raw materials like crude oil, natural gas and coal. In the international markets, prices of these commodities are fluctuating rapidly, which is negatively impacting the demand for construction additives. Growing uncertainties in the crude oil prices in recent times is majorly driven by on-going Russia Ukraine conflict. As per recent estimates, prices of brent crude oil reached more than USD 100 per barrel in March 2022. Such trends are restricting the growth of construction additives market.
