The construction chemicals industry in India is poised for strong long-term expansion, supported by rapid urbanization, large-scale infrastructure programs, and modernization of construction standards. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the India construction chemicals market is projected to grow from USD 4.88 billion in 2025 to USD 17.33 billion by 2035, registering a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% during the forecast period.
The market’s expansion reflects a structural shift in India’s construction ecosystem, where enhanced durability, sustainability, and lifecycle performance are becoming central to project specifications. Construction chemicals — including concrete admixtures, waterproofing compounds, adhesives, sealants, plasters, flooring systems, and protective coatings — are increasingly being adopted across infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and residential construction projects.
Infrastructure and Urban Housing to Drive Market Growth
Infrastructure remains the dominant application segment, accounting for approximately 64.1% of total market share in 2025. Major national initiatives such as Bharatmala Pariyojana, Sagarmala Project, metro rail expansions, and industrial corridor developments are driving strong demand for high-performance construction chemical solutions.
These projects require specialized admixtures, waterproofing systems, and protective coatings to enhance durability, structural integrity, and resistance to extreme environmental conditions. The Indian government’s continued focus on infrastructure-led economic development is expected to ensure sustained consumption of construction chemicals across large-scale civil engineering projects.
In parallel, residential construction is witnessing increasing penetration of modern construction chemicals under housing initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and the Smart Cities Mission. Developers are prioritizing structural resilience, faster execution timelines, and long-term maintenance reduction, thereby increasing reliance on advanced chemical formulations for waterproofing, surface finishing, and tile fixing.
Sustainability and High-Performance Formulations Gain Momentum
Sustainability is emerging as a key growth driver in the Indian construction chemicals market. FMI analysis indicates rising adoption of low-VOC, water-based, and bio-based formulations, in response to tightening environmental standards and increasing focus on green building practices.
Advanced technologies such as nano-additive compounds, polymer-modified systems, and high-performance admixtures are being increasingly applied to improve mechanical strength, weather resistance, and long-term durability. These innovations are supporting the transition toward performance-driven and environmentally compliant construction practices across the country.
Shift Toward Premixed and Digitally Enabled Solutions
The market is also witnessing a steady shift toward premixed and ready-to-use construction chemical products, driven by the need to improve on-site efficiency, ensure consistent quality, and minimize material wastage. Premixed solutions help reduce dependency on manual mixing, accelerate project timelines, and enhance application reliability.
In addition, digitalization across supply chains is enabling real-time formulation customization, improved procurement efficiency, and reduced lead times. These digital interfaces are strengthening coordination between manufacturers, contractors, and developers, further supporting market expansion.
Plaster and Infrastructure to Remain Key Investment Segments
By product type, the plaster segment is projected to account for approximately 33.9% of total market share in 2025, supported by rising demand for interior wall finishing, surface preparation, and decorative applications in residential and commercial projects. The increasing adoption of polymer-modified and high-durability plaster systems is reinforcing plaster’s position as a preferred product category.
By application, infrastructure projects are forecasted to remain the largest consumer, supported by extensive usage of admixtures, waterproofing chemicals, and protective coatings in highways, bridges, metros, ports, and industrial corridors.
Competitive Landscape and Strategic Expansion
The Indian construction chemicals market is moderately consolidated, with tier-1 players accounting for approximately 40% to 50% of total market share. Leading companies such as Pidilite Industries, Sika India, BASF (Master Builders Solutions), Fosroc, Chembond Chemicals, Ardex Endura, Asian Paints, and Saint-Gobain are actively investing in capacity expansion, product innovation, and distribution network strengthening.
Manufacturers are also conducting contractor training programs and expanding digital sales platforms to improve product adoption and technical awareness, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Regional Growth Outlook
Regionally, East India is projected to be the fastest-growing market, with a forecast CAGR of 14.2% from 2025 to 2035, driven by rising investments in roads, ports, mining operations, and industrial facilities in states such as Odisha and Jharkhand.
North and South India are also expected to witness strong growth, supported by government housing initiatives, urban expansion, and continued infrastructure development in major metropolitan regions.
