SUMMARY
US demand to rise 6.5% annually through 2012
Demand for cement and concrete additives in the US will grow 6.5 percent per
year to $3.2 billion in 2012. Strong gains are expected for all major product
types -- chemical, mineral and fiber additives -- as construction activity and
concrete demand rebound from a low 2007 base. Advances will also be driven by
rising utilization of industrial byproducts in concrete for economic and
environmental reasons, as well as an increased focus on the production of
durable and long-lasting concrete structures through the use of chemical and
fiber additives.
Highways & streets to see best market opportunities
Highways and streets were the largest outlet for cement and concrete additives
in 2007, consuming about one-third of total demand by value. This market will
also be fastest growing, as it is expected that federal funding for
transportation projects will remain strong through 2012. Nonresidential
building, the secondleading market for additives, will also experience
above-average gains in demand, while residential applications will rebound
from depressed 2007 levels.
Superplasticizers to drive chemical additives segment
Chemical additives will remain the largest product segment, comprising 45
percent of the total market in value terms. Gains will be led by strong demand
for water reducers, especially high-range “superplasticizer”
types, which are key components of self-consolidating and high performance
concrete mixes. Additionally, the rise of next-generation polycarboxylate
superplasticizers will expand the range of applications for water reducers in
concrete. The market for accelerators and air entrainers will be characterized
by a trend away from traditional commodity products, although the performance
of these alternative formulations remains in question.
Minerals to be fastestgrowing additives
Fastest gains among major product types will be seen for mineral additives,
which will post gains of nearly seven percent per year through 2012. Waste
materials -- particularly coal fly ash -- will increasingly be used as a
partial replacement for portland cement in concrete. Blast furnace slag is
expected to see more moderate growth in demand, limited by domestic supply
constraints. Highervalue mineral additives such as silica fume and metakaolin
will benefit from use in high-strength concrete applications. Strong gains in
demand for fiber additives will be driven by the increased acceptance of
synthetic macrofibers, which are used as secondary reinforcement materials in
concrete.
