The market concentration of concrete shrinkage reducing agent (SRA) has increased, and the market still has room for development in the future.

Concrete shrinkage reducing agent (SRA) is an admixture that reduces the early drying shrinkage of concrete, thereby reducing or even eliminating cracks. Concrete shrinkage is caused by the hydration of cement or the reduction of relative humidity inside dry concrete. Concrete shrinkage is an important factor in causing non-load cracks in concrete structures. Concrete cracks will further reduce the safety of buildings and shorten the service life of structures. . The emergence of concrete shrinkage reducing agents provides a new way to inhibit concrete shrinkage, and its application in the field of concrete is becoming more and more widespread.

There are many types of concrete shrinkage reducing agents. According to different components, concrete shrinkage reducing agents can be divided into two categories: single component and multi-component. Among them, multi-group concrete shrinkage reducing agents have the advantages of low cost, obvious effects, and diverse functions. They are currently researched. main direction. Concrete shrinkage reducing agents have been used in the engineering field for many years. In recent years, with the improvement of relevant technical levels and the upgrading of market consumption, the market development of concrete shrinkage reducing agents has gradually shifted towards high performance, high environmental protection, and multi-component.

According to the “2022-2027 China Concrete Shrinkage Reducing Agent Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, due to international trade frictions, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, the global concrete shrinkage reducing agent market has grown slowly. In 2021, the global concrete shrinkage reducing agent market will be approximately US$230 million. In the future, as the real estate industry picks up and infrastructure projects continue to advance, the concrete shrinkage reducing agent market still has room for growth, and the global market size is expected to reach US$330 million in 2027.

The concrete shrinkage reducing agent industry has low entry barriers. In the international market, the main suppliers of concrete shrinkage reducing agents include Sika Corporation, Euclid Chemical, Vitro Minerals, Inc., Tremco, Mapei S.p.A., etc. There are many companies in the concrete shrinkage reducing agent industry, but they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, some small and medium-sized enterprises have increased operating pressure and gradually withdraw from the market. The concrete shrinkage reducing agent market has gradually moved to the top. Businesses gather.

my country is the world’s largest concrete producer and consumer. According to statistics from China Concrete Network, in 2021, the output of my country’s commercial concrete industry will be 3.06 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%. The Chinese government attaches great importance to infrastructure projects. As infrastructure projects continue to advance, the scale of the concrete market will further expand, which will drive the growth of the market demand for concrete shrinkage reducing agents.

Industry analysts said that concrete shrinkage reducing agents are mainly used to inhibit concrete shrinkage and reduce the occurrence of concrete cracks. my country is a large country in the production and consumption of concrete. , the concrete shrinkage reducing agent market has broad development space. The concrete shrinkage reducing agent market is relatively fragmented, but as environmental protection supervision becomes increasingly strict and market competition intensifies, lagging companies gradually withdraw from the market, and the concrete shrinkage reducing agent market concentration continues to increase.
