The demand for concrete admixtures is vast, and domestic companies are actively deploying overseas markets

Concrete admixtures are materials that are added during the mixing process of concrete and can improve the properties of concrete as required. The dosage should not exceed 5% of the cement mass (except for special circumstances). Concrete admixtures are one of the most important raw materials in concrete. Although the dosage is small, they have a great impact on the safety, workability, physical and mechanical properties, and durability of concrete.

At this stage, common concrete admixtures on the market include water-reducing agents, expansion agents, accelerating setting agents, air-entraining agents, preservatives, etc. Among them, water-reducing agents are the mainstream products in the market. According to different functions, water-reducing agents are divided into ordinary Water reducing agent, high efficiency water reducing agent, early strength water reducing agent, retarding water reducing agent, etc. In recent years, with the continuous in-depth research and the upgrading of market demand, the concrete admixture industry has gradually developed in the direction of green, environmental protection and high efficiency.

According to the “2021-2025 China Concrete Admixture Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, as of Up to now, the development of the concrete admixture industry has been close to a century old. With the continuous breakthroughs in related technologies, concrete admixtures have been gradually updated and iterated, and the product types have become increasingly rich. As an important material for concrete, concrete admixtures have a broad market development space. In 2020, the output of my country’s concrete admixture industry will be about 14.6 million tons.

At this stage, my country’s concrete admixture industry has formed an industrial cluster of a certain scale, including Jiangsu Subote New Materials, Guangdong Hongqiang New Materials, Lizhi Holding Group Co., Ltd., Jidong Cement, China National Building Materials Group and other enterprises have established concrete admixture industry clusters. Agent R&D center and large production base. In order to expand the market and reduce production costs, Chinese companies are actively exploring overseas markets while laying out the domestic market. Under the implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” policy, domestic companies have begun to establish wholly-owned or joint venture factories for concrete admixtures in the Philippines, Vietnam and other regions.

In recent years, with the continuous growth of my country’s economy and the steady advancement of infrastructure construction, the demand for concrete has been continuously released. At this stage, my country has become the world’s largest concrete producer and consumer. Due to the positive results achieved in my country’s epidemic prevention and control, terminal demand for concrete has recovered rapidly. From January to September 2021, the output of my country’s commercial concrete industry reached more than 2.38 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%. At the same time, the country attaches great importance to infrastructure construction, and the concrete admixture market has broad development space.

Industry analysts said that my country’s concrete admixture industry is currently at the forefront of the world in terms of production technology and production scale. With the domestic The infrastructure construction process is accelerating, and the market demand for concrete admixtures will be further released. my country is a major country in the production and consumption of concrete. As an important material for concrete, concrete admixtures have a large market development space. With the upgrading of market demand, the industry will continue to develop in the direction of green, efficient, international and large-scale in the future.
