Concrete Bonding Agents Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Concrete Bonding Agents Market Overview

The Concrete Bonding Agents Market size is forecasted to reach US$5.6 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2022-2027. Concrete bonding agents are natural or synthetic materials used to join the old and new concrete surfaces using polyvinyl acetate, styrene-butadiene latex, acrylic latex and epoxy resin-based concrete bonding agents. This agent can also be used to join the successive concrete layers as it helps to improve adhesion between the layer of concrete and the tensile, as well as, the flexural and bond strength of the concrete or mortar. The increase in the construction and building maintenance activity would drive the concrete bonding agent industry. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S construction spending was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of US$1,779.8 billion during May 2022 and is 9.7% above the May 2021 estimate of US$1,621.9 billion. Therefore, the rise in construction spending would increase construction activity and, in turn, would drive the demand for concrete bonding agents during the forecast period. However, the global economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a huge drop in demand for concrete bonding agents in building construction and maintenance activity all across the world, which had a significant impact on the growth of the Concrete Bonding Agents industry.

• Rising environmental concerns drive park and community garden construction in urban areas which would facilitate the rise in Concrete Bonding Agents, thereby elevating the public demand for the niche market.

Concrete Bonding Agents Market Segment Analysis – by Type

The cementitious latex-based Concrete Bonding Agents segment held the largest Concrete Bonding Agents Market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2022-2027. The cementitious latex-based concrete bonding agents such as polyvinyl acetate latex, styrene-butadiene latex and acrylic latex have high adhesion and bonding strength. This is widely used globally due to its lower cost as compared to epoxy resin-based concrete bonding agents. The concrete bonding agent is applied over walls, ceilings, columns and other surfaces of buildings using a brush, broom, roller, or spray. The growing building construction and repair & maintenance activity would drive the concrete bonding agents industry. According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), the construction sector is one of the largest consumers for manufacturing, mining and a variety of services and is a major contributor to the U.S., economy with US$1.4 trillion worth of structures each year. Thus, with the rise in construction activity globally, the demand for cementitious latex-based concrete bonding agents would increase. This, in turn, would boost the demand for Concrete Bonding Agents market size during the forecast period.

Concrete Bonding Agents Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry

The residential sector held a significant Concrete Bonding Agents Market share in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Concrete Bonding Agents based on epoxy resin, styrene butadiene latex and acrylic latex are widely used for various applications such as repairing, flooring, decoration and others owing to their ease of application and help in reducing cracks formed by shrinkage. The demand for concrete bonding agents is rising due to the increase in residential construction activity globally. For instance, Residential construction spending is valued at US$938.2 billion in May 2022, a 0.2% has been increased as compared to the April 2022 estimate of US$935.9 billion. Such growth in the investment for residential projects globally is expected to bolster the requirement for concrete bonding agents which in turn would propel the growth of the concrete bonding agents market size during the forecast period.

Concrete Bonding Agents Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

The Asia-Pacific region dominated 48% of the Concrete Bonding Agents Market share in 2021, owing to the rising investment towards construction, bolstering construction activity and repair & maintenance of building in the region. China is estimated to witness growth in the demand for epoxy resins- and acrylic latex-based concrete bonding agents due to the rise in construction activity. In January 2022, China unveiled a development plan for its construction industry to push the pillar sector of the country's economy onto a greener, smarter and safer path with the plan to modernize its industrial chain. The construction industry of China is expected to contribute a 6% share of the country's GDP by 2025, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Such initiatives and investments from the government for construction and development projects in the APAC countries are anticipated to increase the demand for concrete bonding agents in the forecasted period. These factors are proving to be a market booster for the Concrete Bonding Agents market size in this region.

Concrete Bonding Agents Market drivers

Increasing demand for Concrete Bonding Agents with the growing Housing projects

The government initiatives in the development of affordable housing worldwide are expected to support the growth of the Concrete Bonding Agent market size over the forecast period. Governments around the world launched various social housing programs such as the Housing for Poor Rural Families Program, low-rent housing for industrial zone employees and low-income urban social housing-local government. According to the Ministry of Construction Vietnam, there are more than 260 ongoing projects providing about 219,000 apartments. Also, the various commercial & industrial construction projects kicked off in the fourth quarter of 2021 in Indonesia such as the Tuban olefin complex development project, the Gresik copper smelting plant, the Plaju green diesel refinery and many more. Thus, significant market traction from the increasing usage of styrene butadiene latex- and acrylic latex-based Concrete Bonding Agents across residential and commercial construction is further projected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

The increase in commercial places with the rise in the demand for interior and exterior decoration:

Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) bonding agents are widely used in decorative Concrete applications because of their compatibility with cement. This polyvinyl acetate latex can also be utilized as a binder for cementitious water-based paints & waterproofing coatings. After being applied, this bonding agent builds a thin layer that is highly resistant to water, aging and ultraviolet rays. Due to these factors, there is a huge demand for polyvinyl acetate for commercial decoration purposes. The rise in construction of commercial places like airports, hotels, malls, institutions and others would drive the concrete bonding agents market. For instance, China is the world’s largest construction market and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% between 2022 and 2030 according to a report by Fitch Solutions Infrastructure. Moreover, China’s 14th Five-year plan includes greenfield construction, relocation, renovation and expansion of 140 airport projects. Thus, the rise in commercial construction activities would drive the demand for the Concrete Bonding Agent market during the forecast period.

Concrete Bonding Agents Market Challenge

The higher price of epoxy resins-based concrete bonding agents

The cost of epoxy resins is much higher. The reason behind this is its production cost. While the machinery and the equipment used in production are tagged with a higher expense, this machinery also requires high maintenance. Due to this factor, the product based on epoxy comes with a higher price as compared to its alternatives. This factor tends to constrain the growth of the market. In addition, even if epoxy-based products provide better results, the customer usually prefers the inexpensive option. Such factors have become the major challenge for Concrete Bonding Agents in terms of consumption, which constrains the growth of the market.
