POLYCARBOXYLATE ETHER MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024 to 2031)

Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) is composed of methoxy-polyethylene glycol copolymer (side chain) grafted with methacrylic acid copolymer (main chain). It is commonly used in the construction industries, especially as superplasticizer in cement and concrete. Superplasticizer admixtures are used for the improvements they make in the rheological properties of fresh concrete. High water reducing ability, easy to use with any cement grade, faster recycle of formwork, owing to accelerated early strength development are some of the advantages of polycarboxylate ether.

Market Dynamics

Polycarboxylate ethers have been commonly utilized to enhance the flow ability of cementitious materials. Moreover, polycarboxylate ether is one of the most effective types of plasticizers, water reducer, and disperser which promotes excellent flow ability, high strength, workability, and pump ability, and efficient dispersion for gypsum, cement, and ceramic materials.

According to Coherent Market Insights in 2021, among product type, liquid segment accounted for largest revenue share of 57.4% in the global polycarboxylate ether market in 2021. The segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 11.3% over the forecast period. Liquid polycarboxylate ether is usually used in a water reducing concrete admixture. Polycarboxylate ether is supplied as liquid formulation with active solid content in varying ranges such as 30% and 40%, especially to be used as superplasticizer.

Demand for public and private infrastructure from increasing population in the emerging economies such as Brazil, India, China, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, and others is increasing significantly. Therefore, the demand for highly efficient superplasticizers, namely polycarboxylate ether for application in the construction section is expected to increase over the forecast period. Infrastructure segment includes construction activities in the transportation, public health, and energy sector. Increasing government investments and initiatives for infrastructure development is fuelling growth of this segment, thereby driving growth of the polycarboxylate ether market.
