Waterproofing Admixture Market

Waterproofing Admixture Market - Global Industry
Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis,
2018-2026
Waterproofing admixture reduces the permeability of concrete hence making it waterproof.
Concrete waterproofing require waterproofing admixture which consists of water-repellent or
hydrophobic chemicals that are derived from soaps, vegetable oils, fatty acids and petroleum.
These materials when mixed with concrete form a water-repellent layer alongside pores in the
concrete, thus increasing the water resistance. Integral waterproofing offers various
advantages increased durability during backfill, resistance to delamination, and
decomposition. The demand for waterproofing admixtures is from new construction and also
from maintenance and repair activities.

As compared to the conventional waterproofing systems, crystalline waterproofing admixture
offer various advantages such as easy handling and transportation, easy use in powdered or
crystalline form and comparatively cheap. Waterproofing admixtures have various
applications such as foundations, water tanks, underground vaults, sewage and water
treatment plants, water reservoirs, precast components, secondary containment structures,
tunnel and subway systems, parking structures and swimming pools. High versatility and
wide application of the product creates a highly conducive environment for growth of the
waterproofing admixture market.
Crystalline waterproofing admixtures are hydrophilic in nature and occur in a dry and
powdered form. Crystalline systems prevent concrete damage by using available water to
grow crystals within concrete, effectually closing off conduits for moisture. Crystalline
waterproofing admixtures block water from all directions making the concrete itself a water
barrier. On demolition the concrete can be recycled completely as no VOCs are used in
manufacturing. Hydrophobic admixtures are available in liquid form and contain oil,
stearates, hydrocarbons, and other long-chain derivatives of fatty acids. Waterproofing
admixtures provide various advantages such as reduced penetration of water and other
liquids, sealing against hairline cracks, resistance for positive and negative side hydrostatic
pressure, and protection against industrial and sewage wastes. Crystalline admixtures are
self-healing that enables them to automatically seal cracks of concrete structures up to half a
millimeter wide. This makes admixtures valuable on large concrete pours, as waterproofing
of cold joints is facilitated with no additional treatment.
Waterproofing Admixture Market Outlook – Increasing Demand for Durable and
Waterproof Materials Expected to Boost Demand
Increasing demand for waterproof products in the construction industry is one of the major
factors boosting the growth of waterproofing admixture market. Asia Pacific is one of the
major contributors in the market. This mainly attributed to the rapidly growing urbanization
and modern infrastructural needs in the emerging economies such as India and China in the
region. In 2016, the construction industry in China exhibited a growth of 17% which was
greater than 5% as compared to 2015. According to India Brand Equity Foundation
(IBEF)—part of the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
Government of India—the Indian construction industry is expected to grow to US$ 5 billion
by 2022. From April 2000 to March 2016 the infrastructure and construction development in
India received foreign direct investment valued at US$ 25.19 billion. This trend is expected to
be followed over the forecast period (2016–2024).
High initial price is one of the restraining factors for the waterproofing admixture market
globally. Mergers and acquisitions, developing innovative portfolio are some of the key
strategies adopted by the top players in the global waterproofing admixture industry. BASF
has developed new admixture sureTEC (Super Retention Technology) that enables concrete
manufacturers to gain control over workability between the batching manufacturing plant and
the engagement site for more than two hours in hot weather. In 2016, BASF signed an
agreement with Henkel to acquire Henkel’s Western European business of waterproofing and
tiling. Some of the companies operating in the global waterproofing admixture market are
Dow Corning Corporation, Mapei S.p.A, RPM International, Sika A.G., BASF SE, W.R.
Grace, Wacker Chemie A.G, Xypex Chemical Corporation, Fosroc International, Evonik
A.G., and Pidilite Industries.
