The construction chemicals help to enhance the workability, performance, functionality, chemical resistance and durability of the construction materials. India is one of the largest construction chemical markets globally. In India, the growth in the construction activities is driven by continuing industrialization, urbanization, increasing population, growth in middle-class income, and the increase in infrastructural developments. According to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), foreign direct investments (FDIs) in the construction development sector and construction (infrastructure) activities stood at US$ 26.20 billion and US$ 27.92 billion, respectively, between April 2000-March 2022. The government of India has given a massive push to the infrastructure sector by allocating US$ 130.57 billion in order to enhance the infrastructure sector. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the country is planning to spend US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure projects through the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), from 2019 to 2023, to ensure sustainable development in the country. The government of India has also decided to come up with a single window clearance facility to accord speedy approval of construction projects to boost the construction of buildings in the country. All these factors contribute to the strong growth of the construction industry in India. Further, as per the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the construction sector in India is expected to increase at 10.7% in 2022 in a rebound from a decrease of 8.6% in 2021, due to the government’s boosted focus on infrastructure projects and smart recovery of demand for residential and commercial segments.
