Executive Summary
•Revenue for the total industrial construction chemicals market in North America was about $xx million in 2011, and it is expected to grow to $xx million by 2018. Revenue figures in this study are in U.S. dollars.•The volume growth in most of these segments range from low to moderate, mainly because of the slow recovery in new construction activities since the economic crisis.•In terms of volume, concrete admixture is the biggest segment followed by waterproofing chemicals and membranes; these segments are expected to grow xxpercent and xxpercent, respectively, during the forecast period.•Differentiation is a difficult task for the construction chemicals sector, as the products are mostly commodities and it is common that the construction sector is not seen as a technology-intensive area. Key producers are trying to reach a higher level of differentiation by closely working with customers in order to understand needs and develop customer-focused solutions for specific applications.•The market is expected to have more mergers and acquisitions, with the top global companies acquiring smaller companies with regional dominance.•Pricing is a crucial purchase factor considered by end users. The simple analysis of the unit price is a disadvantage for manufacturers that intend to sell high-quality and innovative solutions to the market, because the cost-benefit criteria are not considered.
