World Cement & Concrete Additives Industry

World demand to approach $16 billion in 2015 - This amounts to a substantial improvement over the 2005- 2010 period. Going forward, a variety of factors will contribute to this healthy growth, including:

• Recovery in key developed markets such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan -- all of which use loadings at a rate far above the global average.
• Sustained growth in developing markets, bolstered by sustained levels of construction activity, increased cement consumption, and growing use of additives to shorten construction times, save on labor costs and draw concrete construction practices closer into line with the standards in more developed markets.
• Growing popularity of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and other more additive-intensive, high-performance concrete formulations.

All major additives expected to post healthy advances
Use of mineral additives in concrete formulations is expanding due to efforts to reduce overall cement consumption and to take advantage of performance attributes offered by industrial waste products such as fly ash and blast furnace slag.

Chemical additive demand will be led by water reducers, particularly high-value superplasticizers used in SCC and other high-performance applications. Air entrainers and other smaller chemical products will also benefit from increased use in SCC, which is finding greater use in high-rise buildings, dams and other structures with particularly rigorous performance criteria.

The fiber segment, which is smaller than  the chemical or mineral segments, is expected to register growth due to rebounding demand in several key markets and increasing use of fiber additives in markets in which their use has been less common, including countries in Western Europe and other relatively mature additive markets. Additionally, growing use of combinations of synthetic and steel fibers will boost value gains.

Building applications to lead growth
Global building construction activity is expected to accelerate substantially following a weak period, boosting demand for additives used on building concrete, particularly in high-rise buildings and other nonresidential structures. Gains in residential construction will also be considerable, although additive usage in that segment is generally less intensive.

Advances in the highway and street market will be strongest in developing areas such as the Africa/Mideast region and China, where roads and other infrastructure expansion is occurring most rapidly.

Robust gains in public infrastructure, especially in the developing countries of Asia, the Middle East and South America will create value growth due to the greater use of better-performing concrete applications for dams, airports and other major projects. Such projects often require larger volumes of additives to provide the expected level of durability, workability, strength, and resistance to salts, chemicals and weather.

Additional Information:

Historical data for 2000, 2005 and 2010 and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 are provided for demand both by type and market, in current US dollars (including inflation). The term “demand” actually refers to “apparent consumption” and is defined as shipments (also referred to variously as “production,” “output” or “supply”) plus imports minus exports. It is used interchangeably with the terms “market,” “sales” and “consumption.”

Information and data on cement and concrete additives were obtained from several primary and secondary sources, including government agencies and trade associations, industry participants, online databases and other Freedonia studies. Primary information was gathered through consultations with personnel of participating companies. Secondary data and background information were obtained from various publications, including Building Design + Construction, Chemical Week, Concrete Construction, Concrete International, The Concrete Producer, Engineering News-Record, Global Cement, Global Gypsum, ICIS Chemical Business, World Cement and others.
