COVID-19 Impact

Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the core industries such as construction, infrastructure, and others are highly impacted. Reduced demand, lockdown, and absence of labor most of the construction projects of both infrastructure and commercial were shut down, which declined the production of Construction Flooring Chemicals. This can be attributed to significant disruptions experienced by their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of various restrictions that were enforced by governing authorities across the globe. Moreover, consumer demand has also subsequently reduced as individuals are now more keen on eliminating non-essential expenses from their respective budgets as the general economic status of most individuals has been severely affected by this outbreak. These aforementioned elements are expected to burden the revenue trajectory of the global construction flooring chemicals market over the forecast timeline. Also, due to supply chain disruptions such as raw material delays or non-arrival, disrupted financial flows, and rising absenteeism among production line staff, OEMs have been forced to function at zero or partial capacity, resulting in lower demand and consumption for Construction Flooring Chemicals and thus, had declined in the building & construction sector in 2020-2021.

Construction Flooring Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By Product

The Epoxy Floor Coating segment held the largest share of 32% in the Construction Flooring Chemicals market in 2021. The epoxy floor coating segment is widely applied in the building and construction of hotels, luxury residences, hotels, resorts, office buildings, and others. There are various benefits that come with using an epoxy floor coating, compared to using other types of products for flooring. Most importantly, epoxy is popular for its highest strength composition in the industry. It provides a very strong bond between the reinforcement and the resin, which allows for the construction of the lightest part and most durable structures. Epoxy is usually preferred for its great dimensional stability and its mechanical properties. With proper curing, epoxy floor coatings provide good chemical and heat resistance, and very minimal shrinkage. Epoxy resins used in floor coatings are a great option for repairs since they bond to dissimilar materials and previously cured materials. The bonding strength shown by epoxy floor coatings cannot be matched by other flooring coatings like vinyl ester or polyester. These are some of the major facts supporting the market growth for the Epoxy Floor Coating segment in the Construction Flooring Chemicals market during the forecast period. 

Construction Flooring Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The Industrial Flooring segment occupied the largest share in the Construction Flooring Chemicals market in 2021 up to 38%, owing to increased industrial construction activities globally. For instance, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), China plans to construct more than 230 new airports in their country while expanding many others in the next 15 years, hence opening great business opportunities. The floors in Industrial Flooring is one among the foremost essential component, and floor coating is that the most efficient and commonly used flooring option in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Industrial flooring using flooring chemicals offers a highly resilient and sturdy work surface, perfectly fitted to the challenging operating conditions of the industrial environment. Flooring Chemicals is available in a wide selection of features from waterproofing, heat resistant, with anti-skid and anti-slip to heavy-duty industrial protection. The flooring chemicals provide a very seamless surface with greatly enhanced performance compared to the traditionally used concrete base on which it’s typically applied.

Construction Flooring Chemicals Market Drivers

Increase in the global infrastructure sector

Infrastructure is a crucial driver for the expansion of the economy of any region. Increasing urbanization plans in developing countries will help boost the infrastructure sector and simultaneously the construction flooring chemicals market. For instance, In Union Budget 2021, the Indian government has given a massive push to the infrastructure sector by allocating Rs. 233,083 crore (US$ 32.02 billion) to enhance the region's infrastructure. Increased spending on infrastructure features a multiplier effect on the general economic process because it demands industrial growth and manufacturing. This, in turn, steers the collective demand, by improving the living conditions of the people. According to the OCED organization, the present infrastructure spending at the worldwide level is USD 4.1-4.3 trillion per year between 2014 and 2050.

Growing demand for cheaper construction products

Construction flooring chemicals are preferably a low-cost and durable option for people seeking out to save a lot of money during the construction process. Not just it helps to save material costs, but it also saves the renovation cost as well. There are certain chemicals that can completely protect from leakage and seepage, from the result of it, paint and concrete would be in tip-top shape. Therefore, being cost-efficient has driven the market growth for construction flooring chemicals.

Construction Flooring Chemicals Market Challenges

Increase in Drying Shrinkage

Drying shrinkage is contracting a hardened construction flooring chemical due to the loss of capillary water. This may cause an increase in tensile stress, which will eventually lead to cracking, internal warping, and external deflection. Additionally, all the waterproofing admixtures reduce the surface absorption and water permeability of the concrete by acting on the capillary structure of the cement paste, hence this led to drying shrinkage of the concrete. So, in the upcoming time drying shrinkage may become a matter of concern for the growth of construction flooring chemicals globally
