Dispersing agents find a wide range of application in construction, paint & coating, pulp & paper, detergent, oil & gas, agriculture, pharmaceutical, others. Construction industry holds for a major position in the market and therefore this segment is projected to up surge the market growth in the coming years. Rising demand for dispersing agents in concrete preparation is expected to propel the growth of market. Various benefits associated with the use of dispersing agents in construction industry includes reduction in water content of about 15 20% without effecting the workability, increases workability at a given w/c ratio, providing highly cohesive concrete mix & reduces the chance of bleeding and segregation, makes concrete low permeable and hence more durable, no chloride suitable for rcc, compatible with all types of cement, helps in reducing cement content for a required strength.
Asia Pacific leads the dispersion agent market and is expected to register a significant CAGR of XX% in the market. Moreover, industrial developments in emerging economies of India, China and South Korea as well as technical innovations in the region are anticipated to fuel the regional market. Rising activates in building and construction industries raises the demand for paints and coatings is also expected to up surge the growth of market. Increasing paper and pulp making in Asia Pacific is furthermore anticipated to propel the growth of market. Europe is the second largest market for dispersing agents. The growth in this region is due to the widespread presence of chemical industries. Germany holds a major chunk in the region due to growing demand for dispersing agents from various end user industries.
