Concrete Admixture Highest-Selling Construction Chemicals in APAC

Under the National Infrastructure Pipeline launched in 2019, India has earmarked a total investment of $1.4 trillion (INR 102 lakh crore) on infrastructure development. Moreover, by 2025, the construction sector of India will be the third-largest in the world, behind that of the U.S. and China. Naturally, the two most-populated countries in the world account for the largest construction sectors in the world. Moreover, the government of these nations is extending its support for the real estate and infra sector.

Due to the rampant growth of this industry, P&S Intelligence predicts the Asia-Pacific (APAC) construction chemicals market revenue to rise from $19,754.8 million in 2017 to $29,686.2 million by 2023, at a 7.1% CAGR between 2018 and 2023. This will essentially be due to the burgeoning population of the region, which is already the highest on earth. More people means a requirement for more houses, roads & highways, transportation facilities, schools, office complexes, hospitals, retail spaces, hotels, factories, and all other kinds of infrastructure imaginable.

In this regard, the government efforts to boost infra development in the region are propelling the demand for construction chemicals. For instance, the Indian government is developing 100 smart cities, eight ports and 14 special economic zones (SEZs), and 28 highway corridors and a total of 24,800 km of highways under the Bharatmala Project phase I. Moreover, the Eastern and Western Dedicated Fright Corridors and the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, part of the larger Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor, are being constructed.

As a result, the demand for concrete admixtures, sealants, adhesives, protective coatings, flooring chemicals, asphalt modifiers, and flame retardants is rising. Among these construction chemicals, concrete admixtures account for the highest consumption as they give strength to the structure and reduce the requirement for water. In a region that witnesses a lot of volcanic and tectonic activity, strong buildings are a must. For instance, North India and Japan are at an extremely high risk of severe earthquakes. Thus, with concrete being the key construction material, the demand for admixtures is surging in the region.

In the coming years though, India’s contribution to the APAC construction chemicals market will grow at the highest pace. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), between April 2000 and December 2020, the country’s construction sector received a total foreign direct investment (FDI) of almost $50 billion. Moreover, in the 2021 Union Budget, the government allocated $32.02 billion (INR 233,083 crore) for transportation infrastructure alone! Under this, over 600 railway stations have been identified for redevelopment, the entire broad-gauge network of Indian Railways is being electrified, and all routes are being double-tracked.

Thus, with governments pushing for infrastructure development in APAC, the demand for construction chemicals will boom in the coming years.

Why Oxygen-Free Copper Market Opportunities Galore in APAC?

Image
 The major factors in the global oxygen-free copper market are skyrocketing demand for oxygen-free copper wires in the electronics & electrical industry and electric vehicles (EVs). This surging demand is owing to their ease of welding, renowned creep resistance, high impact strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and high ductility. The market is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted the entire circular economy, significantly reducing this market’s sales because of the ruptured logistical network, shutdown of electronic & electrical product factories, and reduced EV production. Within the grade system, the oxygen-free copper market can be bifurcated into oxygen-free electronic and oxygen-free categories. The latter bifurcation generated higher revenue in the market in the past, not only in terms of value but also in terms of volume. The category will continue to exhibit this trend in the coming years as well. T

How Will Rapid Industrialization Drive Hydraulic Equipment Demand?

Image
The Government of India completed the construction of 2,734 projects under the Smart City Mission till 2021. The government is currently working on the construction of 100 smart cities, 6 new ports and 14 coastal economic zones (CEZs). Likewise, Infrastructure Australia (IA) approved the construction of 44 new infrastructure projects in February 2021. The rising construction activities, on account of the booming population and mounting investments being made in the construction sector, will propel the need for hydraulic equipment in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in developing countries will drive the hydraulic equipment market growth during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $37 billion in 2020. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to offer institutional support to special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial and technology parks in Brazil. The UNIDO will help Brazil

Sales of Hexamine Set to Shoot Up in Coming Years

Image
The mushrooming usage of hexamine in several industries such as rubber, pharmaceutical, explosives, and fuels is a major factor responsible for its soaring sales across the world. Moreover, the booming population in several countries is pushing up the demand for medical and pharmaceutical products. This is due to the fact that the surging population is causing poverty, which is, in turn, propelling the incidence of various diseases such as neurological disorders and urinary tract infections. Apart from the aforementioned factors, the rising requirement for hexamine in the plastic industry is also contributing toward the surging sales of the material throughout the world. It is used in plastic synthesis and heavily required in the packaging and construction industries, on account of these industries being prominent end users of plastics. With the surging population level, the number of construction and infrastructural development projects is increasing rapidly in many countries around t
