Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Concrete Surface Retarders Market size was over USD 67.06 million in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 144.8 million by 2037, growing at over 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of concrete surface retarders is evaluated at USD 70.54 million.
Concrete surface retarders delay the setting or drying of the top most surface of concrete, which is desired for various purposes. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing application of these retarders amongst various verticals, backed by the advantages for concrete surface retarders for creating slip-resistant surfaces. The increasing construction of sidewalks or pavements, and inclined surfaces in underground parking lots, are estimated to boost the market growth. The growing application of concrete surface retarders for making precast panels, bricks, and exposed aggregate surfaces, among others, are estimated to boost the market growth. More than 1,500 million bricks are being produced globally, and this is estimated to grow with the growth of construction activities. Along with this, these are sometimes used to counter the fast-drying action caused by high temperature, which is projected to boost their demand significantly in various regions.
