The construction chemicals industry depends on the construction industry for its growth. However, the Indian construction chemicals industry has maintained a consistent growth rate in spite of inconsistent growth of the construction industry. This shows that the application of construction chemicals in construction works is increasing gradually. In the past, end-users mainly showed interest in few products like water-proofing compounds.
But over the last few years, improvements in technology have led to an increase in usage of other specialty chemicals like structural adhesives, chemical & industrial flooring compounds, cement admixtures, surface coating chemicals, repair & maintenance compounds, grouts & grouting compounds, anchoring / bolting / mining products.
The real growth areas for the construction chemicals are the admixtures and repair systems. Also due to increased industrial activities, particularly in the manufacturing segments like pharmaceuticals, demand for products like flooring compounds may rise in the next few years.
All the Engineering structures are made from some material. Each material which is used in construction in one form or the other is known as Engineering materials. Construction Chemicals is a simplistic description assigned to wide range of chemicals that find various application in the construction industry. The main products are are admixture water proofing compound flooring compounds, repair and rehabilitation, tile adhesive etc.
There are also various construction chemicals that are used for post treatment, which are grouting Industrial flooring patterns, repair rehabilitation and retrofitting materials,
Corrosion inhibitors and special building aids.
The construction Industry saw some major development in term of technique and application of materials during the last decade triggering a similar change in construction chemical market.
The overall market is fairly consolidated but there is considerable fragmentation of individual products and application areas. There are a large number of global construction
companies who have set up local manufacturing operations in India. The top 5 players account for ~50% of the market; the rest comprises of small and unorganized players. In the past there has been a considerable change in the market share of companies due to which Medium-sized and regional manufacturers have gained considerable share of market. FOSROC and SIKA India Pvt. Ltd. are the largest players in the Indian construction chemicals industry. Other key players include BASF, Pidilite and SWC (Structural Waterproofing Company Pvt Ltd). There are many other regional and smaller players as well. Approximately 300 companies are estimated to be operating in this segment.
*The Major Player profiles are given in Annexure II.
Four Key challenges
The construction chemicals market in India is still highly under-developed when compared to other countries, such as China, which is much larger at nearly ~$ 7.9 billion. Consumer awareness is very low regarding new chemical techniques and construction aids. Margins are lower because most contractors prefer low-cost chemicals to reduce the overall construction cost. High value products have limited demand and are used only by premium construction houses.
Some of the key challenges faced by the industry are as follows:
Price sensitive market: Indian construction chemicals market is highly cost-conscious. The customers demand the best quality at very low prices. However, they are still not fully aware of the benefits of various construction chemicals and hence tend to use lowcost substitutes. Decisions are taken based on immediate cost not on overall cost of ownership (life-cycle cost) basis.
Low entry barriers: The construction chemicals market is comprised of large MNCs as well as several local small-scale manufacturers. Due to low entry barriers, competition is high and several low value products are being sold in the market.
