Demand for cement and concrete additives in the US is forecast to grow 7.0 percent annually to $4.0 billion in 2020, energized by rising additive use per ton of concrete. Most gains in additive demand will originate in the building construction market, fueled by growth in new housing starts and investments in nonresidential facilities. Rising use of technologically advanced forms of concrete that require high additive loadings, as well as a progression toward stronger, more durable concrete, will promote growth and gradually shift the product mix toward high value additives.
This study analyzes the US market for cement and concrete additives. Products include chemicals (water reducers, set controllers, coloring agents, air entrainers, and other), minerals (fly ash, slag cement, gypsum, silica fume, and other), and fibers (synthetic, steel, and other). Stainless steel fibers used for specialized refractory cements, as opposed to construction and building applications, are not included, nor are coatings, stains, or other construction chemicals used in conjunction with finished concrete. Markets for cement and concrete additives include residential and nonresidential building construction, highway and street construction, and other uses, such as utilities, dams, and agricultural construction. Companies mentioned include BASF, Headwaters, GCP Applied Technologies, LafargeHolcim, Sika, and Propex.
