MARKET ANALYSIS
Polymer concrete is a type of concrete, generally composed of polymers and aggregates. Polymers are used as a binding agent, alternative to cement. Addition of polymer to concrete, results in polymer-modified concrete, or polymer cement concrete, whereas latex-modified concrete is utilized for bridge decking. All types of polymer concrete are acid resistant, a characteristic of significance for concrete, as it is often exposed to non-fluoride acids. Other advantages of polymer-modified concrete include increased strength, high durability, improved workability, increased freeze-thaw stability and low water permeability. The performance profile of polymer concrete can be altered according to specific purpose, using several resins such as epoxy, acrylic, and furan, among others.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The growing construction activities and investment in infrastructure has aided the polymer concrete market growth. The demand for building materials is rising with the advancement in infrastructure activities in the past few years. Government of several countries are allocating high budget for rehabilitation and development of infrastructure. In November 2021, the US government approved a US$ 1.2 trillion infrastructure bill to aid federal investments in various infrastructure projects. Also, investment in the US construction sector is expected to increase by 5.5% by 2023. Such initiatives generate demand for construction materials, equipment, and services. The growing global construction sector and rising government emphasis on infrastructure is fuelling the demand for polymer concrete. According to the European Construction Industry Federation, in 2020, the European Union invested US$ 1.4 trillion in the construction industry. Moreover, the increasing population in India and China is another factor fuelling the demand for residential construction, thereby aiding the share of India in global polymer concrete market share. Polymers are obtained from non-renewable resources such as petroleum and cause environmental pollution. Additionally, production of such polymers leads to emission of hazardous gases and cause air pollution. Stringent regulations imposed by several governments globally to control pollution pose a challenge to the polymer concrete market. Rising government and customer preference for green and sustainable building materials can further limit the polymer concrete market.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The global polymer concrete market is segmented on the basis of product type, material type, and end-use industry. Based on product type, the polymer concrete market is segmented as polymer impregnated concrete, polymer Portland cement concrete, polymer resin concrete, and others. On the basis of material type, the market is classified as, epoxy, acrylic, polyester, and others. The polymer concrete market is categorized on the basis of end-use industry into, residential, commercial, and infrastructure.
Based on product type, the polymer impregnated type accounted for a significant polymer concrete market share which can be attributed to its popularity across the globe and wide availability. Polymer impregnated polymer is broadly utilized for applications such as concrete bridges, floors, walls, and other marine construction applications, due to its improvised structural properties, high resistance to water absorption and permeability properties. Polymer Portland cement concrete has been gaining popularity due to its extensive utilization in precast construction and floor construction application. Polymer resin concrete possess several advantages such as high impact resistance, high compressive strength and high resistance to chemicals. Based on material type, epoxy accounted for a major polymer concrete market share owing to various factors such as durability, and concrete shrinkage reduction. It is used for industrial flooring, anti-skid overlays, and resurfacing materials. Acrylic material has also been gaining immense popularity across the globe which can be attributed to the enhanced strength, improved workability, and freeze-thaw resistance. Whereas, polyester material when added to concrete decreases carbonation in concrete and reduces loss of alkalinity. The demand for polymer concrete in the infrastructure segment is expected to grow significantly over the coming years owing to various factors such as increasing urbanization, rising government fundings and rapid industrialization. This factor has increased the demand for infrastructure development, thereby propelling the adoption of polymer concrete.
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
The report provides a detailed overview of the global polymer concrete market with respect to five major regions, namely; North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA) and South & Central America. Asia Pacific is estimated to account for a significant polymer concrete market share globally. Asia Pacific marks presence of significant construction market, worldwide. China is the world’s largest construction market, which is highly leveraged and supported by the country’s government policies. The government of China invested US$ 1.9 billion in 13 public housing projects in 2019. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the civilian and public work contracts in South Korea reached a value of US$ 238.0 billion in 2021. Europe is also expected to witness considerable growth with the increasing demand for high-performance construction materials. The construction industry in Europe has been growing due to increased investments and initiatives by the government. Atradius Collections projected a 3% rise in construction output in France in 2022, after a contraction of 14% in 2020. The aforementioned factors are likely to boost the demand for polymer concrete in Europe.
INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Partnership, acquisitions and new product launches were found to be the major strategies adopted by the players operating in the global polymer concrete market.
In January, 2022, Wacker Chemie AG expanded technical support for construction industry by opening Moscow Laboratory for cement and concrete additives. The strategy aimed to study and test the raw materials used in cement and concrete, thus offering comprehensive service to customers.
In April, 2021, Sika AG announced expansion of concrete admixture facility and epoxy production line in Qatar, due to rapid infrastructure development.
IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global economy and slowed down the growth of various industries. The shutdown of multiple manufacturing plants and factories in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa affected the global supply chain. This, subsequently, hampered the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of various goods. Polymer concrete market experienced a slump during the pandemic owing to the halt in construction activities across the globe. Construction projects were terminated or suspended globally in 2020, which led to additional costs for construction businesses. construction activities also witnessed a decline during this period owing to the shortage of raw materials and limited supply of labor. However, governments took several mitigation measures to reduce the negative impact of the pandemic on construction industry. For instance, in December 2020, the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia passed a decision for limiting the quantity of construction material supply to an extent where it is only sufficient to move the project forward. Therefore, the polymer concrete market has recovered quite well from the aftermath of the pandemic and is expected to grow over the coming years.
