The market for building
and construction chemicals is expected to show modest growth over the next
4-5 years of between 2-5% from 2008 to 2012, motivated by an initial
slowdown in construction output followed by a build up towards the
Olympics.
In particular, growing
usage and demand for infrastructure, particularly in terms of transport,
from a growing population, growing levels of travel, the growing impact of
sustainability and the desire of certain local authorities to reduce car
access to cities, as well as major forthcoming events, such as the
Olympics or the Commonwealth Games, is increasing the demand for major
refurbishment and new build of roads, rail, light rail and air travel
facilities.
The market remains
competitive with the top 10 companies accounting for around 60% of the
market. Key organisations include Grace Construction Chemicals, Sika,
BASF, FOSROC and Weber. There has been substantial consolidation and
acquisition activity in the market in recent years though there remain a
number of smaller national and international suppliers competing in the
market.
The supply of Building
Chemicals is fundamentally split between companies who supply direct and
distributors who supply part of the building, RMI and construction
markets. The more complex building and construction products are not
normally supplied through builder’s merchants and likely to be supplied
direct to the end user or sub contractor, while the remainder are likely
to feature in the builders’ merchants range.
