The rising demand for construction is significantly driving the growth of the construction chemicals market. Construction encompasses various activities, including building, altering, repairing, remodeling, improving, or demolishing structures. Construction chemicals play a crucial role in eliminating abrasions and enhancing bonding, ultimately extending the lifespan of buildings. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based executive office of the UK Statistics Authority, reported that new construction orders in 2022 rose by 11.4% from 2021, reaching a record high of $98.62 billion (£80,837 million). The primary contributors to this increase were private infrastructure, private commercial projects, and other public non-housing sectors, which saw growth rates of 85.1%, 10.2%, and 17.5%, respectively. Consequently, the surge in construction activities is expected to fuel the growth of the construction chemicals market.

The escalation in catastrophic events is poised to drive the growth of the construction chemicals market in the foreseeable future. Catastrophic events encompass sudden, widespread, and severe incidents or disasters that cause substantial damage and disruptions to communities and ecosystems. The utilization of construction chemicals plays a crucial role in fortifying structures against such events, bolstering their durability and resilience, minimizing damage, and aiding in effective recovery and reconstruction efforts. For example, as per ReliefWeb, a U.S.-based humanitarian information portal, the recorded instances of catastrophic events in 2022 totaled 387, slightly surpassing the average of 370 from preceding years. Consequently, the mounting concerns surrounding catastrophic events serve as a significant driver propelling the demand for construction chemicals as they play a pivotal role in fortifying structures against such adversities.

Major companies in the construction chemicals market are increasingly pursuing strategic partnerships to enhance technology integration and expand their market presence. A strategic partnership involves a collaborative relationship between two or more organizations, where they pool their resources, expertise, and efforts to achieve shared goals. For example, in March 2024, Cormart Nigeria Limited, a chemical manufacturing company based in Nigeria, formed a partnership with Fosroc International Limited, a Dubai-based company specializing in construction chemicals. This collaboration designates Cormart as the exclusive distributor and licensed producer of Fosroc's products in Nigeria. The partnership aims to improve the quality and accessibility of construction chemicals in the market, offering a wide range of solutions, including concrete admixtures, repair and protection systems, waterproofing solutions, and more.

Major players in the construction chemicals market are actively pursuing the development of innovative products, including eco-friendly dispersions, in response to the rising demand for sustainable solutions and to gain a competitive advantage. Eco-friendly dispersions represent a sustainable alternative devoid of harmful components, tailored for diverse applications such as paints, aimed at reducing environmental impact. As an illustration, in July 2022, Synthos, a chemicals company based in Poland, introduced Synexil SAB 05, a novel eco-friendly dispersion tailored for the production of construction chemicals, particularly paints suitable for children's rooms and allergy-sensitive applications. This product offers impressive features including UV resistance, a low film formation temperature for solvent-free chemicals, and high scrub resistance. Compliant with stringent low emission standards, it is well-suited for white interior paint, ensuring minimal indoor air pollution. Notably, Synexil SAB 05 is free from harmful elements such as APEO, solvents, ammonia, and formaldehyde donors, aligning with Synthos' commitment to safety, sustainability, and responsible manufacturing practices.
