Construction chemicals represent one of the largest and most geographically diversified end markets for specialty chemical producers. The construction chemicals segment dominated the specialty chemicals market in Europe, accounting for 4.2 million metric tons of consumption. India is expected to see the construction of 60 million new homes and investment of approximately $1.3 trillion in housing over the next seven years. Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are driving volume growth through infrastructure investment and urbanization. Saint-Gobain's acquisition of Fosroc International — a manufacturer of adhesives and additives for construction — for $1.03 billion in mid-2024 signals the premium valuations attached to construction chemical businesses. Energy efficiency regulations are driving demand for advanced insulation materials, while green building standards are accelerating adoption of low-VOC coatings and bio-based construction chemicals.
This report provides significant competitor information, analysis, and insight critical to the development and implementation of effective marketing and R&D programs.
