The global polycarboxylate ether market size was USD XX Mn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. Increasing construction activities and infrastructure development is anticipated to fuel the market during the forecast period.
Polycarboxylate ether has similar structure to a comb and it contain group of polymers. It consists copolymer methacrylic acid chain with the copolymer methoxy-polyethylene glycol. It is used in the concrete to reduce the water to cement ratio without affecting the performance of the mixture. It retains the high fluidity by the polymer adsorption to the cement paste. It offers high-performance and self-consolidating concrete. Thus, it is commonly employed in the construction industry.
Polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer is used to enhance flow properties. Perma Plast PC 302 is based on synthetic polymers and polycarboxylic ether. It is used in some proportion varying between 0.6 to 2 percent by weight of cement that depends upon type of concrete required. Polycarboxylic ether is used in protective cavity liners, filling materials, luting materials for crowns, inlays, bridges, and orthodontic appliances, pulp capping, and root canal fillings.
The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the manufacturing and construction industry. Government implemented lockdown and social distancing norms which did not allow construction or maintenance services. Reopening of several end-users is projected to drive the market in the coming years.
