Superplasticizers
Market: Overview
·
Superplasticizers are also called high range water reducer.
Superplasticizers are chemical additives and synthetic polymers that are
extensively used in the building & construction industry for applications
such as concrete strengthening. Superplasticizers allow more than 30%
reduction in the water content.
·
Superplasticizers can be used in three ways: to create flowing
and self-leveling concrete without increasing water, without sacrificing
strength, and without reducing cement; to produce high-strength concrete by
reducing water and thus water-cement ratio; and to save upon cement by reducing
both cement and water contents while maintaining same water-cement ratio and
same workability.
Rise in
Demand for Superplasticizers in Building & Construction Industry to Drive
Market
·
Rise in demand for cement concrete with high fluidity and workability
properties along with low water requirement is driving the global
superplasticizers market. Rise in commercial and residential building projects in
various developed and developing countries is another key factor expected to
boost the global market. Additionally, development of various high-scale
infrastructure projects including bridge, dam, and roads in developing
countries is expected to boost the global superplasticizers market.
Furthermore, advancement in in-transit admixing technologies, including
automated slump management system, is estimated to boost the market during the
forecast period.
·
The global superplasticizers market is facing supply-demand shortages
due to the industrial shutdown triggered by the COVID-19 outbreak. Disruption
in raw material supply is anticipated to hamper full-scale operations. Supply
shortage has also led to a rise in prices of raw materials. Additionally,
industrial shutdown has adversely impacted product and inventory
transportation, as logistic services have been hampered due to the COVID-19
outbreak.
Polycarboxylate
Derivatives (PC) Type Segment to Offer Lucrative Opportunities
·
Based on type, the global superplasticizers market can be
segmented into sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates (SNF),
sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde condensates (SMF), polycarboxylate derivatives
(PC), modified lignosulfonates (MLS), and lignosulfonates (LS)
·
The polycarboxylate derivatives (PC) segment held major share of
the global superplasticizers market in 2019. Excellent dispersibility and water
reduction capabilities are estimated to drive the demand for PC-based
superplasticizers. Polycarboxylate superplasticizers are employed as high-range
water reducers in high performance concrete, high volume fly ash/slag concrete,
high-strength concrete, dry mortar, and cement grouting. Thus, PC is projected
to be a rapidly growing segment of the market in the next few years.
Ready-mix
concrete Application Segment to Hold Major Share of Market
·
Based on application, the superplasticizers market can be
divided into ready-mix concrete, precast concrete, self-compacting concrete,
high performance concrete, and others
·
The ready-mix concrete segment is expected to dominate the
global superplasticizers market during the forecast period. This can be
ascribed to its ease in transportation and rise in number of applications
across residential, industrial, and commercial constructions. Construction
companies find can reduce labor and inventory costs by opting for ready-mix
concrete instead of site-mixed concrete. This is estimated to boost the
ready-mix concrete segment in the near future.

Asia
Pacific to Constitute Significant Share of Global Superplasticizers Market
·
In terms of region, the global superplasticizers market can be
split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East
& Africa
·
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2019, owing to the
presence of key manufacturers as well as growth in trade activities from China.
Expansion of the building & construction industry in Asia Pacific is
expected to boost the superplasticizers market in the region in the near
future. Growth in trend of suburbanization across emerging economies of Asia
Pacific is driving the superplasticizers market in the region. Countries in
Asia Pacific such as China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand,
the Philippines, and India are among the top 20 consumers of cement across the
world. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the largest consumer of
superplasticizers due to the high consumption of cement in countries in the
region.
·
North America is also projected to account for key share of the
global superplasticizers market during the forecast period
