World Cement and Concrete Additives
Global demand to rise 6% annually through 2012
World demand for cement and concrete additives will rise 6.0 percent per year to $16.2 billion in 2012. Gains will be driven by increased penetration of chemical and fiber additives in concrete construction, in both emerging markets in Asia and Eastern Europe as well as the more mature cement industry in North America. Additionally, the use of mineral additives as cement supplements will be driven by environmental concerns, as well as an increased supply of cementious byproducts from growing coal consumption and iron production.
Asia/Pacific market to stay largest, fastest growing
Among the three major world regions, strongest advances are forecast for cement and concrete additives in the Asia/Pacific region, which is home to rapidly growing cement markets such as China and India. Gains in the region will also benefit from a rebound in construction activity in South Korea and Taiwan. However, more moderate growth in the highly mature Japan market will limit increases for additives in the region. Although the cement industry in North America is also quite mature, aboveaverage gains in additive demand will be driven by an increased focus on production of more durable concrete and utilization of mineral waste products.
Demand for additives in Western Europe, the largest regional market, will exhibit subpar gains through 2012. The use of both chemical and mineral additives is already widespread in the region, restricting prospects for growth. Gains in the other world regions -- Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Africa/Mideast region -- will outpace the global average. Additive demand in Eastern Europe will advance the fastest, fueled by increased utilization of abundant slag and fly ash waste materials and incorporation of EU trends of additive use in concrete construction.
Chemical, fiber additives to offer best opportunities
Demand for chemical and fiber additives will grow at the fastest pace as acceptance of these products and the benefits they provide continues to rise. In particular, strong growth is expected for highperformance superplasticizing water reducers, which facilitate concrete pouring and enhance the strength of concrete structures. Mineral additives will also see solid gains in demand, particularly in high-growth, high-volume cement markets such as China and India. The use of mineral additives allows cement producers to take advantage of low-cost fly ash and blast furnace slag byproducts, reducing waste and limiting the CO2 emissions associated with cement production.
