材料減縮劑市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及 2025 - 2034 年預測

2024年，全球材料減縮劑市場規模達15億美元，預計2034年將以5.8%的複合年成長率成長，達到26億美元。隨著建築標準不斷發展，更加重視結構彈性和長期性能，減縮劑 (SRA) 已從簡單的添加劑轉變為高性能混凝土混合料中不可或缺的成分。這些化學溶液在減少收縮裂縫、維持混凝土強度和增強耐久性方面發揮關鍵作用。過去，人們透過調整混合比來應對收縮問題，但如今，基礎設施和住宅建築對先進材料的需求正推動全球市場對SRA的採用。

在快速工業化和城市發展的推動下，亞太地區的成長尤其顯著。人們對永續性的日益重視以及向下一代外加劑的轉變，正在加速SRA的應用，尤其是在大型專案中，防裂對於降低長期維護成本至關重要。隨著混凝土應用在隧道、高層建築和模組化設計等領域的不斷多樣化，SRA越來越被視為延長結構壽命並在環境應力和荷載下保持性能的關鍵。

2024年，液體SRAs市場佔64.3%，由於其易於與混凝土混合料融合，展現出強勁成長動能。其高效的分散性以及與預拌混凝土應用的兼容性，使其成為基礎設施和大量住宅建築的首選。這些助劑能夠持續減少收縮，廣泛應用於現場和工廠環境，包括商業房地產和公共部門工程。

2024年，預拌混凝土佔整個市場的41%，成為SRA的主要消費領域。這些添加劑對於降低固化過程中出現表面裂縫和內部應力的風險至關重要，尤其是在城市住宅和商業開發項目中使用的預拌混凝土系統中。在預製混凝土領域，SRA對於維持尺寸精度和防止因材料收縮而導致的組裝錯位至關重要。

美國材料減縮劑市場佔85%的市場佔有率，價值1.594億美元。其領先地位源自於強勁的基礎設施建設活動以及對永續建築實踐的日益重視。政府主導的公共資產修復投資，例如橋樑、政府大樓和交通基礎設施，持續推動對耐用抗裂混凝土的需求。這促使承包商廣泛採用減縮劑，以延長混凝土結構的使用壽命，同時最大限度地降低維修和保養成本。美國致力於環保建築實踐，也加速了先進外加劑技術的轉變。

材料減縮劑市場的知名公司包括巴斯夫歐洲公司 (BASF SE)、馬貝集團 (Mapei SpA)、基仕伯應用技術公司（聖戈班）、富斯樂國際有限公司 (Fosroc International Ltd.) 和西卡股份公司 (Sika AG)。材料減縮劑市場的公司正在利用創新、區域擴張和永續性來鞏固其市場地位。領先的公司專注於開發符合綠色建築認證並能提高結構耐久性的環保減縮劑 (SRA)。與建築公司和基礎設施開發商的策略聯盟使這些公司能夠將其產品直接嵌入長期專案中。研發投資旨在提高配方效率和在不同環境條件下的性能。許多參與者也在亞太等高成長地區擴大產能，以滿足不斷成長的城市建設需求。

The Global Material Shrinkage-Reducing Agents Market was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2034. As construction standards evolve to prioritize structural resilience and long-term performance, shrinkage-reducing agents (SRAs) have transitioned from simple additives to essential components in high-performance concrete mixes. These chemical solutions play a critical role in minimizing shrinkage-related cracks, preserving concrete strength, and enhancing durability. Previously, shrinkage concerns were managed by altering mix ratios, but today's demand for advanced materials in infrastructure and residential construction is fueling SRA adoption across global markets.

This growth is especially prominent in the Asia-Pacific region, driven by rapid industrialization and urban development. Rising emphasis on sustainability and the shift toward next-generation admixtures are accelerating the use of SRAs, particularly in large-scale projects where crack prevention is essential to lower long-term maintenance costs. As concrete applications continue to diversify across tunnels, high-rise structures, and modular designs, SRAs are increasingly seen as key to extending structural life while maintaining performance under environmental stress and load.

The liquid SRAs segment made up 64.3% share in 2024, showing strong momentum due to their ease of integration with concrete mixtures. Their effective dispersion and compatibility with ready-mix applications make them a top choice in infrastructure and high-volume residential construction. These agents ensure consistent shrinkage mitigation and are widely adopted in both on-site and factory settings, including commercial real estate and public sector works.

Ready-mix concrete contributed 41% to the total market in 2024, standing out as a major consumer of SRAs. These agents are essential in reducing the risk of surface cracks and internal stress during the curing process, especially in ready-mix systems used in urban housing and commercial developments. In the precast concrete segment, SRAs have become crucial for maintaining dimensional accuracy and preventing assembly misalignments, which can arise due to material contraction.

U.S. Material Shrinkage-Reducing Agents Market held an 85% share, valued at USD 159.4 million. Its leadership position stems from robust infrastructure activity and increased focus on sustainable construction practices. Government-led investments in rehabilitating public assets such as bridges, government complexes, and transport infrastructure continue to drive demand for durable, crack-resistant concrete. This has led to the widespread adoption of SRAs among contractors seeking to extend the lifecycle of concrete structures while minimizing repair and upkeep costs. The country's commitment to eco-conscious building practices has also accelerated the shift toward advanced admixture technologies.

Prominent companies operating in the Material Shrinkage-Reducing Agents Market include BASF SE, Mapei S.p.A., GCP Applied Technologies (Saint-Gobain), Fosroc International Ltd., and Sika AG. Companies in the material shrinkage-reducing agents market are leveraging innovation, regional expansion, and sustainability to secure their market positions. Leading firms are focusing on developing eco-friendly SRAs that comply with green building certifications and enhance structural durability. Strategic alliances with construction firms and infrastructure developers allow these companies to embed their products directly into long-term projects. R&D investments are targeted toward improving formulation efficiency and performance under varied environmental conditions. Many players are also expanding production capacities in high-growth regions like Asia-Pacific to meet rising urban construction demand.
