The global cement and concrete additives market was valued at USD 21,629.3 million in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 8.03%.

Cement and concrete additives have been added to cement and concrete in several cases to enhance their properties. The improved characteristics of cement and concrete additives may include their toughness, integrity after hardening and reaction to water and air. Cement and concrete additives have a basic aim of improving the functionality of cement and concrete, thereby improving the longevity and stability of each building.

The additives are applied to a mixture of water-cement to improve concrete longevity, to control and harden the concrete and to correct the overall concrete behaviour. Powdered or liquid additives may be available. Two additives, chemical and mineral additives, are available. Their use depends on the contractor's wish.

Globally speaking, growing investments in infrastructure and the growth of the construction industry are expected to drive this market. In emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil, massive investment in infra-structure projects is expected to provide sufficient opportunities to expand the cement and concrete additive market in the prediction period.
