The concrete admixture industry is good and has a bright future

Admixtures have become indispensable raw materials in concrete, which can significantly reduce concrete water consumption and improve the working performance of concrete mixtures. First of all, in terms of national policies, the policy of expanding domestic demand and accelerating the construction of large-scale infrastructure has brought favorable factors. The building materials industry is the industry that benefits most and most directly. With the huge amount of projects, the demand for concrete admixtures will increase.

Most of the admixtures used in commercial concrete mixing stations are compounded aqueous products. Some are aqueous products directly produced by admixture manufacturers, and some are powder products provided by distant manufacturers. The station can be reconfigured within the station itself. Since the self-mixing of mixing stations is limited by site, equipment, and technical strength, specialization and multi-variety mixing are often difficult to achieve. It may seem that cost savings may actually outweigh the gains. The harm and economic losses caused by improper use of admixtures are far greater than their own value. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose one or several suppliers that have stable production and have aqueous agent production plants or compounding stations nearby. It is uneconomical to supply aqueous agents that are too far away. It is convenient and economical to choose a nearby aqua agent factory. For example, Shanghai Taibiao Building Materials Factory has established aqueous compounding stations in many big cities, and sent technical personnel to provide on-site guidance and real-time deployment. It is a good model to provide high-quality services to the mixing stations. Admixture brand products that meet the following conditions: scale, stability, and proximity can be sampled (sent) for trial use.

Secondly, the current entry threshold for the concrete admixture industry is relatively low. The scale of enterprises is mainly small and medium-sized, and there is a lack of large leading enterprises. In addition, foreign giants also want to enter, but at present, foreign investment in China’s admixture market has not been fully leveraged. Local admixture brands are more competitive. There will be many mergers and acquisitions and adjustments in the future, and the industry will look forward to a number of resounding brands. At present, many admixture companies attach great importance to brand building. In the future, only companies with brands can survive longer.

Finally, from a policy perspective, the country currently has stricter requirements for production safety, energy conservation and environmental protection, and the demand for new admixtures, polycarboxylate water-reducing agents, has increased significantly. Polycarboxylic acid-based water-reducing agent is currently the most cutting-edge water-reducing agent with the highest technological content and the best application prospects in the world. Under the current background of advocating energy conservation and emission reduction and attaching importance to construction quality, the state supports ready-mixed concrete and prohibits ready-mixed concrete. Water-reducing agents must be used in ready-mixed concrete, which will undoubtedly stimulate the development of the concrete admixture market.
