The Middle East and Africa superplasticizers market has been witnessing significant growth, due to the rise in infrastructural developments in the region. Countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and South Africa have made large investments in these developments in the last two decades. With dry temperature conditions and low fresh water availabilities, superplasticizers are widely being used in the region, as they reduce the water-cement ratio in cement mixtures, without affecting workability and avoiding particle aggregation in the mixture.
Superplasticizers have different characteristics as per their manufacturing and application requirement in end products. These can be added in a proportion of 0.15% to 3.0% of the weight of cement in the concrete mixture; this proportion is higher as compared to normal plasticizers. Major applications of superplasticizers are the various type of concrete mixtures, such as ready mix concrete, shotcrete, precast concrete, and others. Ready mix concrete is the most commonly used superplasticizers. Superplasticizers are available in liquid and powder forms; the ones in liquid form are predominantly used across various applications.
Investments and expansions are the key strategies adopted by the key players operational in this market. Manufacturing companies, associations, and end-product manufacturers have made high investments for future advancements and technology modifications of superplasticizers to cater to the changing demands from various end user industries. Various type of superplasticizers have been developed depending upon different base chemicals, such as Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehydes (SMF), Sulfonated Naphthalene Formaldehydes (SNF), Modified Lignosulfonates (MLS), Polycarboxylates (PC), and others. Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehydes (SMF) and Polycarboxylates (PC) are the two major types of superplasticizers that are commonly used in the market.
Egypt is the largest market for superplasticizers in the region, both in terms of volume and value, followed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The key players in the Middle East & Africa superplasticizers market are Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (U.S.), Arkema S.A. (France), BASF SE (Germany), Hangzhou Lans Concrete Admixture, Inc. (China), Kao Corporation (Japan), Ruetgers Polymers Ltd. (Canada), Sika AG (Switzerland), and W. R. Grace & CO. (U.S.).
