The growing urbanization and economic boost from government initiatives and foreign and domestic investments are directly and indirectly pushing the region’s housing needs, which would increase residential building construction in the long run. For instance, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) intends to construct around 1 million housing units by 2025, with the country's housing requirements estimated to reach 30 million units. As a result, the region’s concrete admixtures for the sector are projected to reach USD 2.36 billion by 2030 from USD 1.39 billion in 2023.
The demand for concrete admixtures is expected to be high in Indonesia owing to the country's mega-construction projects
- Concrete admixtures, such as water reducers, air entrainers, retarders, accelerators, and superplasticizers, are added to concrete before or during mixing to modify its properties. In 2022, the Asia-Pacific concrete admixtures market declined by 2.97% in value compared to 2021. The concrete admixtures in China took the worst hit among all Asia-Pacific countries and fell by 6.99% in value from 2021 to 2022. This can be attributed to the government's zero COVID policy that imposed fresh lockdowns and halted construction projects. In contrast, the Australian concrete admixtures market recorded the highest growth of 22.53% in value from 2021 to 2022, which was expected to continue as the country's concrete admixtures market was expected to grow by 7.54% in value from 2022 to 2023.

Asia-Pacific Concrete Admixtures Market Trends
Rising retail and office spaces in countries such as India to boost the Asia-Pacific commercial construction sector
- In 2022, Asia-Pacific witnessed a 3.23% decline in its commercial new floor area compared to the previous year. This setback was attributed to factors such as regulatory pressures, higher inflation, and a surge in mortgage rates. In 2023, the region rebounded, with commercial construction new floor area increasing by approximately 146 million sq. ft. This surge was primarily driven by a rise in foreign direct investment (FDI), which spurred the demand for new offices, warehouses, retail outlets, and other facilities. Notably, the Vietnamese construction sector attracted an FDI capital of USD 71.44 million in 2023.
- In 2020, the Asia-Pacific region experienced a significant setback in commercial new floor area, with a volume decline of 21.92% compared to 2019. This decline was primarily due to widespread government lockdowns, which disrupted project work and severely impacted supply chains, equipment, and labor. However, as restrictions eased, the region witnessed a remarkable rebound, with its commercial new floor area surging by 20.98% in 2021, reaching a volume of approximately 526 million sq. ft.
- Asia-Pacific's commercial new floor area is projected to witness substantial growth, with an estimated increase of 1.41 billion sq. ft by 2030 compared to 2023. This surge is fueled by a rising demand for shopping malls, office spaces, retail outlets, and more. The Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a global retail powerhouse, contributing to nearly three-quarters of the worldwide retail growth. For instance, the Indian Grade A office market in its top seven cities may to expand to 1 billion sq. ft by 2026 and further to 1.2 billion sq. ft. by 2030. Overall, the commercial new floor area in Asia-Pacific is projected to witness a volume CAGR of 5.16% during the forecast period.
Rising affordable housing units, such as India’s likely to reach 25 million by 2030, to augment the residential constructions in the region
- In 2022, the residential new floor area in the Asia-Pacific region saw a volume decline of approximately 5.39% from the previous year. This dip was a result of the sector normalizing after a surge in building activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The region's residential sector is driven by a growing population, increasing wealth, and rapid urbanization. The residential new floor area in the region was expected to rise by 410 million sq. ft in 2023 compared to 2022.
- In 2020, the residential new floor area in Asia-Pacific declined in volume by around 5.06% compared to 2019. This was primarily due to government-imposed lockdowns, disruptions in the supply chain, labor shortages, reduced construction productivity, and low foreign investments. However, as restrictions eased, the region saw a significant rebound, with the residential new floor area surging by about 1.4 billion sq. ft in 2021, driven by the addition of new residential housing units. For instance, in 2021 alone, the Indian residential real estate market introduced approximately 163 thousand new residential units across its top seven cities.
- The residential new floor area in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.98% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the demand for housing, increased investments, and favorable government policies. The focus on constructing more affordable housing units is expected to rejuvenate the residential construction sector in the region, aiding its recovery. By 2030, it is estimated that over 40% of India's population will reside in urban areas, leading to a demand for an additional 25 million affordable housing units. This surge in demand is expected to push the Indian residential real estate market to reach 1.5 million units by 2030.

Micro-concrete Mortars | Micro-concrete mortar is made up of cement, water-based resin, additives, mineral pigments, and polymers and can be applied on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. It can be used to refurbish residential complexes, commercial spaces, etc. |
Modified Mortars | Modified Mortars include Portland cement and sand along with latex/polymer additives. The additives increase adhesion, strength, and shock resistance while also reducing water absorption. |
Mold Release Agents | Mold release agents are sprayed or coated on the surface of molds to prevent a substrate from bonding to a molding surface. Several types of mold release agents, including silicone, lubricant, wax, fluorocarbons, and others, are used based on the type of substrates, including metals, steel, wood, rubber, plastic, and others. |
Polyaspartic | Polyaspartic is a subset of polyurea. Polyaspartic floor coatings are typically two-part systems that consist of a resin and a catalyst to ease the curing process. It offers high durability and can withstand harsh environments. |
Polyurethane | Polyurethane is a plastic material that exists in various forms. It can be tailored to be either rigid or flexible and is the material of choice for a broad range of end-user applications, such as adhesives, coatings, building insulation, etc. |
Reactive Adhesives | A reactive adhesive is made of monomers that react in the adhesive curing process and do not evaporate from the film during use. Instead, these volatile components become chemically incorporated into the adhesive. |
Rebar Protectors | In concrete structures, rebar is one of the important components, and its deterioration due to corrosion is a major issue that affects the safety, durability, and life span of buildings and structures. For this reason, rebar protectors are used to protect against degrading effects, especially in infrastructure and industrial construction. |
Repair and Rehabilitation Chemicals | Repair and Rehabilitation Chemicals include repair mortars, injection grouting materials, fiber wrapping systems, micro-concrete mortars, etc., used to repair and restore existing buildings and structures. |
Residential Construction | Residential construction involves constructing new houses or spaces like condominiums, villas, and landed homes. |
Resin Fixing | The process of using resins like epoxy and polyurethane for grouting applications is called resin fixing. Resin fixing offers several advantages, such as high compressive and tensile strength, negligible shrinkage, and greater chemical resistance compared to cementitious fixing. |
Retarder | Retarders are admixtures used to slow down the setting time of concrete. These are usually added with a dosage rate of around 0.2% -0.6% by weight of cement. These admixtures slow down hydration or lower the rate at which water penetrates the cement particles by making concrete workable for a long time. |
Sealants | A sealant is a viscous material that has little or no flow qualities, which causes it to remain on surfaces where they are applied. Sealants can also be thinner, enabling penetration to a certain substance through capillary action. |
Sheet Waterproofing Membranes | Sheet membrane systems are reliable and durable thermoplastic waterproofing solutions that are used for waterproofing applications even in the most demanding below-ground structures, including those exposed to highly aggressive ground conditions and stress. |
Shrinkage Reducing Admixture | Shrinkage-reducing admixtures are used to reduce concrete shrinkage, whether from drying or self-desiccation. |
Silicone | Silicone is a polymer that contains silicon combined with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and, in some cases, other elements. It is an inert synthetic compound that comes in various forms, such as oil, rubber, and resin. Due to its heat-resistant properties, it finds applications in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, etc. |
Solvent-borne Adhesives | Solvent-borne adhesives are mixtures of solvents and thermoplastic or slightly cross-linked polymers such as polychloroprene, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, and natural and synthetic rubbers. |
Surface Treatment Chemicals | Surface treatment chemicals are chemicals used to treat concrete surfaces, including roofs, vertical surfaces, and others. They act as curing compounds, demolding agents, rust removers, and others. They are cost-effective and can be used on roadways, pavements, parking lots, and others. |
Viscosity Modifier | Viscosity Modifiers are concrete admixtures used to change various properties of admixtures, including viscosity, workability, cohesiveness, and others. These are usually added with a dosage of around 0.01% to 0.1% by weight of cement. |
Water Reducer | Water reducers, also called plasticizers, are a type of admixture used to decrease the water-to-cement ratio in the concrete, thereby increasing the durability and strength of concrete. Various water reducers include refined lignosulfonates, gluconates, hydroxycarboxylic acids, sugar acids, and others. |
Water-borne Adhesives | Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a dilutant rather than a volatile organic solvent. |
Waterproofing Chemicals | Waterproofing chemicals are designed to protect a surface from the perils of leakage. A waterproofing chemical is a protective coating or primer applied to a structure's roof, retaining walls, or basement. |
Waterproofing Membranes | Waterproofing membranes are liquid-applied or self-adhering layers of water-tight materials that prevent water from penetrating or damaging a structure when applied to roofs, walls, foundations, basements, bathrooms, and other areas exposed to moisture or water. |
