Antifreeze Admixtures Market Growth, Share, Demand and Analysis of Key Players to 2025
Antifreeze
admixtures are a type of protective admixtures that provide
protection at temperatures as low as -15 oC. These antifreeze
admixtures are available either in powder or liquid form in the
market. These admixtures improve workability of concrete without air
entrainment; therefore, they are used to produce high-quality
concrete in cold weather conditions. Antifreeze admixtures aid in
stabilizing microscopic air bubbles in concrete and further improve
concrete’s resistance to surface scaling caused by certain
chemicals. The building & construction industry is a key end-user
of the antifreeze admixture market. Antifreeze admixtures are widely
used in various applications such as joints in precast concrete
structures and repair of dams, tunnels, and foundations.

Report Overview @
Based
on chemical agent, the global antifreeze admixtures market can be
segmented into calcium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate,
calcium nitrate, potassium carbonate, ethylene glycol, and sodium
formate. Demand for sodium nitrate is expected to increase in the
near future due to its excellent performance in lowering the freezing
temperature. Demand for calcium chloride and sodium chloride is
expected to increase moderately during the forecast period. In terms
of application, the antifreeze admixtures market can be segregated
into residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure
Residential is a highly lucrative application segment of the market.
Rise in urbanization in emerging countries such as India and China
expected to boost the demand for residential complexes and in turn
the demand for antifreeze admixtures in the residential segment.
Production
of concrete in freezing temperatures or cold climatic conditions is
an expensive as well as time-consuming process, as the freezing
temperature inhibits the hydration process of concrete. This leads to
concrete with poor characteristics such as low strength, micro
cracks, and gaps. Antifreeze admixtures prevent water from freezing
before or during the hydration process, resulting in a high-quality
concrete product. Rise in demand for antifreeze admixtures for
quality construction products coupled with increase in demand for
roads, buildings, bridges, tunnels, and water retention structures;
and reduction in water usage and construction time are some of the
factors driving the market. High prices and lack of awareness about
admixtures among consumers are some factors restraining the market.
However, brand promotion and product awareness among consumers
expected to boost the market in nearby future.
Based
on geography, the global antifreeze admixtures market can be
segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America,
and Middle East & Africa. In terms of consumption, Asia Pacific
dominates the antifreeze admixtures market, followed by Europe.
Countries such as Russia, Poland, and Finland are leading consumers
of antifreeze admixtures in Europe, while China, India, and ASEAN
countries dominate the market in Asia Pacific. Rise in foreign direct
investment (FDI) in the building & construction sector, typically
in developing markets such as India and China, is offering new market
opportunities for antifreeze admixtures. Gradual aging of housing
complexes in regions such as Europe and North America offers major
opportunities to the antifreeze admixtures market. Rise in the number
of infrastructure projects and expansion of the construction industry
in Middle East & Africa are augmenting the market in the region.
Latin America is also one of the lucrative regions of the antifreeze
admixture market. Number of residential structures in Brazil has
increased due to the rise in standard of living and growth in
construction schemes. Repair and maintenance applications and
renovation and repair activities provide potential opportunities for
manufacturers of antifreeze admixture.
