Boom in the Construction Industry Augurs Well for the Admixtures Market.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c62550) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report: U.S. Concrete Admixtures Markets to their offering.

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled U.S. Concrete Admixtures Markets

provides the market size and share of the different categories of admixtures, analysis on their applications and emerging technological trends, market drivers and restraints, competitive structure, and market forecasts. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following admixtures: accelerating, retarding, plasticizing as well as superplasticizing, and air entraining.

Cementing the Need for Novel Concrete Admixtures: Demand for Better Performing Concrete in Varied Conditions Encourages New Materials

Driven by the constant need to improve the sturdiness of their buildings and structures, participants in the construction and concreting industry eagerly await entirely new materials or even marginal enhancements in traditional materials. There is a rise in the special and specific needs of construction industry participants for concrete that can be used in hot or cold climates, heavy duty or decorative concreting, as well as marine or tropical environments. This has opened up the market for newer and diverse chemicals for use as admixtures, since these can improve concrete performance. However, not every admixture is economical for every project and hence, a cost-benefit analysis is required for each product.

The creation of a potent admixture requires careful administration and concreting practices, based on climatic conditions and project needs. The new plasticizers' and superplasticizers' extended characteristics assure reduction in the use of additional admixtures. "For instance, the novel chemistry of polycarboxylates, when compared to sulfonated melamines and naphthalenes, provides greater water reduction and slower slump loss," says the analyst of this research service. "New chemistries in admixtures are instrumental in increasing the confidence of the concrete industry in developing self consolidating concrete (SCC) and ready mix, pre-cast, high performance, and pre-stressed concrete mixes."

Boom in the Construction Industry Augurs well for the Admixtures Market

The intensely competitive U.S. concrete admixtures market is riding the crest of a boom in the construction industry, particularly in the residential buildings segment. This surge in real estate development is mainly due to governmental programs such as Building America that mandate new buildings, augmenting the demand for concrete and concrete admixtures. Moreover, increased construction activities in the commercial and industrial divisions, climatic variations in the United States, and diverse concreting requirements in sewage and chemical industries are escalating the demand for specialized admixtures.

Recent residential projects saw the use of concrete not only for foundations, but also for structures such as roof tops and walls. "Modern technology and standards compel the incorporation of concrete admixtures along with other traditional concrete constituents. "Concrete admixtures offer better strength for fresh and hardened concrete," notes the analyst. "It produces flowable and workable concrete, which prevents specific problems associated with the placement of concrete." These properties help economize on construction materials and costs, thereby encouraging the use of concrete admixture in numerous construction projects.
