Description

Cement & Concrete Additives

Growth in the US cement and concrete additives market will total 7.0% annually through 2020, reaching $4.0 billion. Advances will be driven by rising levels of building construction activity, which will 

This report segments the cement and concrete additives industry by product and market. Chemical additives are also segmented by raw material. Cement and concrete additive data are provided in dollars with selected data also provided in pounds or tons. Additionally, the study segments concrete demand by customer and market, and cement demand by customer, market, and region. Data for cement and concrete are provided in tons.

Cement and concrete additives include:
• Chemical Additives -- Air Entrainers; Coloring Agents; Water Reducers; Superplasticizers; Set Accelerators; Set Retarders
• Mineral Additives -- Fly Ash; Gypsum; Slag Cement (GGBFS); Silica Fume
• Fiber Additives -- Steel Fiber; Synthetic Fiber; Other Fibers

Chemical additives will remain the largest of these through 2020, accounting for 49% of the market.  Fastest growth will be for fiber additives due to growing awareness of their potential performance benefits.

Raw materials used in the production of chemical additives include:
• Surfactants & Dispersants -- Lignosulfonates; Other
• Iron Oxide
• Calcium Chloride

Surfactants and dispersants are the largest category of raw materials used in chemical additives. High value, advanced products in this category, such as polycarboxylates, will experience the strongest gains.

Major markets for cement and concrete additives are:
• Building Construction -- Residential; Nonresidential
• Highway & Street Construction
• Other Markets

Building construction was the leading outlet in 2015, accounting for 50% of demand.  The most rapid gains through 2020 are forecast for the residential construction market, fueled by a surge in single family housing starts.

To a large extent, producers of chemical, mineral, and fiber additives are distinct from one another. They include chemical and construction product manufacturers, cement manufacturers, and companies specializing in fiber additive production. Sales figures are provided for significant producers, such as BASF, Boral, Buzzi Unicem, GCP Applied Technologies (formerly Grace Construction Products, a division of Grace), Headwaters, LafargeHolcim, Propex, Euclid Chemical, and Sika.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
