The Egypt construction chemicals market was valued at $283.2 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $444.5 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2020 to 2027.
Construction chemicals belong to the chemical industry's specialty segment. Such chemicals are used to improve impact strength and structural stability in building activities. Some building chemicals help reduce the quantity of raw materials, such as cement and water. Construction chemicals play a crucial role in enhancing concrete performance and increase the life span of the structure.
Growth in investment in infrastructure development and residential construction activities across cities is mainly driving the growth of the Egyptian market for construction chemicals. These chemicals are increasingly being used to enhance concrete performance, along with growing industry understanding of the quality of concrete, cement, asphalt, and other building materials. Additionally, for the forecast era, the new technological developments due to rising building resilience and providing additional fortification from environmental hazards have driven the market. However, high product costs can hamper the market as most small and medium-sized builders and contractors prefer to reduce total construction costs to maximize profit. Furthermore, governments throughout developing countries are investing heavily in the construction of infrastructure to fuel economic growth. It is anticipated that growing acceptance of ready-mix concrete, especially in the commercial and infrastructure sectors, would further boost the demand for building chemicals in the market.
The Egypt construction chemicals market is segmented on the basis of product type and application. By product type, the market is classified into concrete admixtures, waterproofing & roofing chemicals, protective coatings, adhesives & sealants, industrial flooring, asphalt additives, repair & rehabilitation, and others. According to application, it is divided into residential, industrial & commercial, and infrastructure.
The key players operating in the Egypt construction chemicals market are BASF SE, CMB – Chemicals for Modern Building, EAMIC Ltd, Hemts Construction Chemicals, NCC X-Calibur, Innova Priority Solution, Polymar-EG, Prokem specialty chemicals, Sika Egypt for Construction Chemicals, and United Paints and Chemicals Drymix S.A.E.

Analyst Review
According to the CXOs of the leading companies, the growth of Egypt construction market is progressive, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period with surge in urbanization and increase in large-scale infrastructure projects across several economies. For examples, The New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) has plans for the development of new neighborhoods, including schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities. This authority is responsible for the growth and link of these new cities with the existing infrastructure. Additionally, The El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the first nuclear power plant in Egypt, is scheduled to be installed on the Mediterranean coast in the Matrouh Governorate, 250 km west of Alexandria. In addition, increased understanding of high-value items such as concrete mixing and waterproofing is expected to play a key role in the growth of the market. Furthermore, increased investment in infrastructural growth is expected to lead to higher industrialization, which in turn would drive the demand for building chemicals. However, as per the CXOs, lack of awareness regarding long-term benefits of construction chemical projects is anticipated to limit the overall market growth.
Infrastructure development, prolonged expansion of residential and commercial buildings and favorable public private partnerships are major factors driving the market growth.
