Vietnam Construction Chemicals Market is anticipated to grow significantly in the projected period 2028 due to the improving socio-economic status of its population, growing demand for ready-mix concrete (RMC), growing use of green chemicals, and rise in urbanization and industrialization in the regions. United Nations Population Fund estimated that the population of Vietnam in 2023 will reach 100 million and make Vietnam among to top 15 highly populated countries around the world. Furthermore, the per capita income of Vietnam is estimated to be USD 4163.5 in 2022. Hence, as the population rises the demand for new and repaired buildings will drive the demand for construction chemicals in Vietnam. Apart from these, the government of Vietnam recognizes the impact of infrastructure development to support economic growth and improve living standards. Hence, the government has initiated various infrastructure projects, including transportation networks, housing programs, and industrial zones as a part of its urbanization and industrialization efforts. The Vietnamese government has approved different plans to spend approx. USD 43-65 billion for the construction and re-development of building and upgrading road, rail, inland waterways, sea, and air transport infrastructure during the 2021-2030 financial year. Such favorable government policies and initiatives create a conducive environment for the construction industry to develop new infrastructure projects and are expected to propel the demand for Vietnam's construction chemicals market in the forecasted period.

Key Market Drivers

Rise in urbanization and industrialization in the region Drives the Vietnam Construction Chemicals Market Growth

Urbanization and industrialization lead to an increase in infrastructure development activities, such as the construction of residential buildings, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and transportation networks. These projects require the use of construction chemicals for various purposes, including concrete admixtures, waterproofing compounds, adhesives, and sealants. The financial losses that occur across the various industry & sectors are estimated at around 3% of the global GDP while Vietnam loses approx. 5% of their total GDP. Thus, the upsurge in such projects & activities is expected to drive the market demand for construction chemicals in Vietnam. There is a growing emphasis on the quality and durability of constructed structures as urbanization and industrialization activities rise in Vietnam. Construction chemicals play a crucial role in enhancing the strength, durability, and performance of buildings and infrastructure. As they advance the concrete properties, by protecting against corrosion, improving water resistance, and enhancing complete structural integrity. The need for reliable and long-lasting construction solutions increases as urban areas and industrial zones expand and thereby such factors will boost the demand for construction chemicals in Vietnam. Due to the use of chemicals that contain VOCs substance, Urbanization, and industrialization also faces environmental challenges and hurdles such as air pollution, water pollution, and waste management. Hence, the construction industry is also under pressure to adopt more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. As an outcome, Construction chemicals that are eco-friendly and meet stringent environmental regulations are exclusively preferred by the industry. This shift towards sustainable construction practices contributes to the growth of the construction chemicals market in Vietnam. Technological advancements are one of the major factors for the growth of every sector such as the construction sector. New construction techniques such as 3D printing, materials like polycarboxylate ether-based green admixtures, and products are constantly being introduced to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Construction chemicals manufacturers are investing in research and development to introduce innovative products that cater to the evolving needs of the market and government policy. This technological progress in the industry further propels the growth of the Vietnam construction chemicals market.

Growing demand for ready-mix concrete (RMC) is Impacting the Vietnam Construction Chemicals Market Growth

The growing demand for ready-mix concrete (RMC) in Vietnam has a substantial impact on the growth of the Vietnam construction chemicals market. Ready-mix concrete is a pre-mixed and proportioned concrete mixture that is directly delivered to construction sites. In RMC, besides Cement, water, and aggregate as the main constituent, chemical admixtures, mineral admixtures, and fibers are used by various users as it offers many advantages such as consistent quality, time efficiency, and reduced labor requirements. Hence, concrete admixtures are widely used to enhance the performance and workability of RMC. These admixtures, like plasticizers, superplasticizers, accelerators, and retarders, are added to enhance the strength, durability, and workability of the concrete or building structure. Hence, the growing demand for RMC leads to higher consumption of concrete admixtures and drives the growth of the construction chemicals market. Ready-mix concrete is known for its consistent quality and performance which makes it a preferred choice by end users for construction projects. However, specific construction requirements often necessitate the use of construction chemicals to enhance the properties of RMC. For example, waterproofing compounds, corrosion inhibitors, and air-entraining agents may be added to RMC to improve its resistance against water, corrosion, and freeze-thaw cycles. Thus, the need for specialized construction chemicals to meet these performance requirements is expected to contribute the market growth. Ready-mix concrete (RMC) offers several advantages in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness as it reduces construction time, minimizes material wastage, and optimizes labor utilization. As an outcome, RMC is progressively adopted in different construction projects across various sectors, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure. The rising usage of RMC translates into higher demand for construction chemicals used in its production, such as admixtures, curing compounds, and surface retarders. Green building practices, including the use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient construction methods, are gaining momentum in Vietnam. RMC is considered an eco-friendly and energy-efficient construction material as it reduces the consumption of water and cement, minimizes construction waste, and improves energy efficiency during construction. The green building trend creates a demand for eco-friendly construction chemicals that align with sustainable construction practices, thereby impacting the growth of the construction chemicals market. The RMC industry is witnessing technological advancements aimed at improving the quality, performance, and durability of concrete. For instance, the introduction of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and high-performance concrete (HPC) requires the use of specialized construction chemicals to achieve the desired properties. These advancements in RMC technology drive the demand for construction chemicals, including rheology modifiers, viscosity agents, and specialized admixtures. The combined effect of the above-mentioned factors has propelled the demand for construction chemicals and supported the Vietnam Construction Chemicals Market growth.
