Dry-Mix Mortar Additives and Chemicals Market

Market Overview:

The global dry-mix mortar additives and chemicals market size reached USD 27,519.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 48,655.0 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.54% during 2025-2033. The growing demand for durable, cost-effective, and low maintenance solutions, increasing renovation activities, and rising adoption to fix tiles on walls, floors, and swimming pools represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Dry-mix mortar additives and chemicals are added to improve durability and performance. They comprise plasticizers, air-entraining agents, water repellents, accelerators, retarders, and defoamers. They are cost-effective, easy to use and transport, and can be stored in a container conveniently. They provide accurate sand and cement mixing ratio and only require potable water for creating a mixture. They assist in improving the adhesion between the mortar and various substrates, which decreases the risk of delamination or failure. They aid in lowering wastage of sand and cement, improving productivity, and reducing labor costs. Besides this, they are beneficial in enhancing the overall visual appeal of the finished construction. As they offer enhanced strength and workability while reducing downtime, the demand for dry-mix mortar additives and chemicals is increasing across the globe.

Dry-Mix Mortar Additives and Chemicals Market Trends:

At present, the rising adoption of dry-mix mortar additives and chemicals for fixing tiles on walls, floors, and swimming pools represent one of the major factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for dry-mix mortar additives and chemicals due to the rising number of renovation activities around the world is positively influencing the market.
