Concrete Surface Retarders Market by Raw Material (Organic Agents and Inorganic Agents), Type (Water-based and Solvent-based), Application (Residential and Commercial), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific) - Global Forecast to 2023
[121 Pages Report] Concrete surface retarders are chemicals used to delay or retard the setting of the top surface of the freshly poured concrete. These retarders offer various benefits to the concrete surface, including slip resistance, structural integrity, and aesthetic appeal. Concrete surface retarders are used on a wide range of horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces, such as precast concrete elements, floors, patios, paving, and concrete segment joints.
Concrete surface retarders are widely used in the residential, commercial, education, healthcare, and industrial sectors. The global concrete surface retarders market is projected to reach USD 89.40 million liters by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.23% from 2018 to 2023.
Organic agents to be the larger raw material segment throughout the forecast period.
Lower cost and broader application areas in architectural concrete, precast concrete, and on slip-resistance surfaces, among others, have contributed to the extensive use of organic agents in concrete surface retarders.
By type, water-based segment estimated to dominate the concrete surface retarders market.
The growth of this segment is attributed to the eco-friendly, non-hazardous, and odorless properties of water-based retarders. The usage of these retarders is also supported by their lower VOC content as compared to the solvent-based retarders. Water-based retarders are used in cast-in-situ and precast concrete applications.
Commercial application segment estimated to lead the concrete surface retarder market in the forecast period.
The growth of this application segment is attributed to the increasing use of concrete surface retarders in bridge decks, sidewalks, curbs, ramps, facade cladding, and concrete segment joints, among others. The dominance of the commercial segment over the residential segment is also supported by rising public and private investments for infrastructural development in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and South America.
North America to be the second-fastest-growing region in the concrete surface retarders market during the forecast period
The growth of the concrete surface retarders in North America is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for high-quality green buildings, time-cost efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and government regulations.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for green buildings
The concrete surface retarders market is poised to grow, owing to an increasing acceptance of sustainable and green building construction concepts. A green building incorporates design, construction, and operation practices that use sustainable materials in construction, for an excellent surface finish and an improved aesthetic appeal, among other measurable targets. Besides being eco-friendly, water-based retarders enhance the architectural beauty of buildings by providing a decorative finish. They also offer slip-resistance to the concrete surfaces.
There is a rise in demand for green buildings, especially in the European and North American regions, owing to various regulations that necessitate the use of sustainable concrete in both commercial and residential buildings. Water-based concrete surface retarders are environment-friendly, solventless, and have less odor, owing to which they are preferred in green buildings for various horizontal and vertical concrete surface applications, such as vertical construction joints, sidewalks, driveways, construction joints, floors, and paving slabs.
Opportunity: Rise in construction activities
The industrial boom, post the economic slowdown of 2008, has given rise to new constructions, both commercial and non-commercial. In Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, the construction industry has been growing. The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest number of new constructions between 2015 and 2020. The Make in India program introduced by the Government of India promotes new construction projects in the country. The sub-prime crisis in the US (between 2007 and 2010) caused a recession in the construction industry. However, the industry has recovered and is growing at a moderate pace. The global construction industry contributes around one-tenth of the global GDP and is expected to reach about USD 8 trillion by 2030, as per Oxford Economics.
Challenge : Lack of awareness about concrete surface retarders
The concrete surface retarders market has a positive outlook due to high growth in the construction industry. However, in some of the developing countries in Asia Pacific, Africa, and South America, people are less aware of these retarders or the benefits offered by them. Currently, many countries in the abovementioned regions use cheaper alternatives. For instance, in flatwork, the methods used include just spreading sugar-water mixture on the newly poured concrete surfaces or spreading and rolling pea gravel. End users, such as customers from the precast concrete industry, concrete cast stone industry, concrete products industry, or ready-mix concrete industry, prefer these substitutes to provide a decorative finish. Therefore, for the growth of this sector, it is essential to educate the consumers regarding the positive features and benefits of using concrete surface retarders in vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces. Advertisements, trade shows, and exhibitions can help create awareness and promote the use of concrete surface retarders in developing countries.
