The Type segment emerges as the fastest-growing segment in the cement additives market
The Cement Additives Market is poised for significant growth in the construction sector, driven by population growth and urbanization. With an increasing number of nuclear families and migration from rural to urban areas, there is a heightened demand for new residential projects, particularly in urban regions of APAC and MEA. This trend is expected to lead to increased investments in multi-family housing projects, fueling the need for cement additives such as friction agents, water reducers, retarders, waterproofing agents, and urban marketing strategies. Cement and stone industries rely on chemical and mineral additives, including plasticizers, retarders, water reducers, colorants, fly ash, silica slag, rice husk ash, and gypsum, to enhance concrete performance and sustainability. Infrastructure development and the construction of hybrids buildings require strength enhancers, performance enhancers, and grinding aids. Government support, federal budgets, and sustainable practices are crucial factors influencing the market. Climate change and housing shortages necessitate the use of eco-friendly additives like sodium gluconate and the optimization of cement production. Despite lockdowns and production disruptions, the market remains resilient, with exportation of cement and concrete continuing to drive growth.
The cement additives market in APAC is thriving, driven by the region's significant construction activities for residential and non-residential buildings. Notable consumers include India, China, and Japan. China, dominating the cement industry, is witnessing high growth due to the use of advanced water reducers. Fly ash, silica slag, rice husk ash, and gypsum are common additives, with silica fume and mineral extenders like bentonite and cellulose derivatives also popular. Hybrids buildings prioritize sustainable practices, utilizing performance enhancers, strength enhancers, and grinding aids. The Federal budget and urbanization fuel demand for cement additives in infrastructure projects. Exportation of cement and concrete, including Portland cement and white cement, is increasing. Amid climate change concerns, cost-effective solutions like sodium gluconate, hematite, and organic polymers are gaining traction. Production has been impacted by lockdowns, affecting building and drilling projects in the onshore segment. Global oil demand and energy consumption restrictions have influenced the use of cement in oilfield cement and hydroxyethyl cellulose in drilling projects.
Commenting on the market trends, a Senior Analyst of Technavio, stated," Cement kilns increasingly use alternative fuels like waste oil, plastics, and industrial wastes to reduce CO2 emissions. These include bentonite, cellulose derivatives, and lignosulfonate. Construction wastes and oilfield cement additives, such as hematite and lignosulphonate, are also utilized. Additives like hydroxyethyl cellulose offer cost-effective solutions for water reduction, retarding, waterproofing, and urban marketing in the cement and stone industry. Key segments include onshore drilling projects and chemical, mineral, fiber, plasticizer, retarder, water reducer, and colorant additives."
