M2 - Mon Sep 29, 9:15AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7wj6wr/construction) has announced the addition of the "Construction Chemicals Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering. Protective coatings market is likely to be valued at USD 8.52 billion by 2020 With over 50% share, concrete admixture was the largest segment of construction chemical in 2013. In terms of volume, the global concrete admixtures market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% between 2014 and 2020. Concrete admixtures are additions to the concrete mix that help in controlling the set time and other aspects of fresh concrete. Thus, rising construction of new buildings in emerging economies is expected to boost the overall demand for concrete admixtures in the near future. Asphalt additives are composite materials that are commonly used in surfacing of roads, parking lots and airports. Thus, growth in urbanization, especially in BRICS countries, is projected to augment the overall demand for asphalt additives. Adhesives and sealants are primarily used in the maintenance of old structures. The need for repairing old structures in Europe and North America is anticipated to boost the growth of adhesives and sealants market by 2020. China emerged as the leading consumer of construction chemicals in 2013. Demand for construction chemicals in the country has increased primarily due to rising urbanization coupled with growth in government investments in infrastructure. In terms of volume, China accounted for 42.0% of the global construction chemicals market in 2013. China was followed by Europe, which is expected to be the next major consumer of construction chemicals. Sluggish growth of the construction industry due to high unemployment, and debt and financial fragmentation is estimated to affect the overall demand for construction chemicals in Europe. Rest of Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the emerging markets for construction chemicals. Growth in the construction industry, especially in India and Japan, is anticipated to boost the overall demand for construction chemicals in the region. North America is anticipated to exhibit sluggish growth in the overall construction chemicals market during the forecast period. Olympic 2016, which will be held in Brazil, is likely to boost the overall construction industry in Rest of the World. Thus, demand for construction chemicals is projected to increase rapidly in the region.
