How the Germany Construction chemicals Market Is
Positioned? Construction chemical market in
Germany has the largest share among all European
nations accounting for nearly of the entire
European market in terms of revenues. Growth in
construction sector, robust economic policies and
moreover, Germany being regarded as manufacturing
hub of Europe along with its central location has
supported the economic development. Sale of
construction chemical in Germany was reportedly
driven by necessity of the usage of construction
chemicals in construction of certain type of
building and manufacturing unit.

For instance, it was required by regulation to
waterproof all areas where there are chances of
spillage of hazardous chemicals as well as to
water proof areas of hazardous garbage disposal
areas in Germany. Real estate construction was
the major growth driver for sale of construction
chemical in German market as investment in public
infrastructure has observed a decline in last few
years Growth prospects for construction chemical
market in Germany is bright and is expected to
record positive growth in future as construction
activities picks up pace along with government
investment in infrastructure. Repair and
rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and
existing buildings will also create huge
potential demand for construction chemicals in
future. The market for construction chemical in
Germany is very well organized and is majorly
dominated by BASF and SIKA. These two companies
has comprehended almost share of the market in
terms of revenues. The market for construction
chemicals is concentrated by almost 70 players
which is quite limited compared to other
countries.

The market for construction chemicals in Germany
has grown at a CAGR of during the period
2010-2015 with revenues being registered at USD
million during 2015. What have been the Major
Segments that has Driven Change Concrete
admixture has accounted for a revenues share of
in the overall India construction chemical
market. Concrete admixture market in Germany was
observed to be majorly governed by cement
companies as concrete admixture is provided along
with cement. Major concrete admixture
manufacturing companies have B2B tie up with
these cement companies for the sale of concrete
admixture in German market. Water proofing
becomes more important in areas with underground
construction and areas receiving heavy rain and
snowfall. Germany construction standards are
among best in world requiring strict compliance
which drives the sale of all type of construction
chemical.

Market for sheet membrane is high in Germany
because they are easy to manufacture and have
long shelf life. They are also easy to apply in
already constructed houses. Water proofing market
in Germany is mainly dominated by SIKA which is
also the major construction chemical
company. Flooring compounds market was observed
to have smaller share in 2015 on account of low
investment in construction of new malls, parking
spaces, sports complexes and other areas of
application. Majority of demand comes from
renovation and modernization of existing
structures. Flooring material demand mainly
comes from the construction of new parking lots,
hospitals, indoor playgrounds and manufacturing
units. Polyurethane flooring was mainly preferred
in Germany as it is more human friendly and is
less reactive compared to epoxy flooring. Epoxy
flooring is preferred in closed areas of
manufacturing floors, commercial kitchens,
shopping complexes and other areas.
6
Germany is in developed stage of economic growth
and hence demand for basic infrastructure is
observed to be lower and thus majority of demand
as observed was created to improve existing
quality and facilities. Germany is the
manufacturing hub of Europe and manufacturing
floors require coating based on product being
manufactured. Based on quality requirement demand
for type of flooring compound, epoxy polyurethane
or cementitious or their combination is
required. Repair and rehabilitation of many old
buildings was adopted to accommodate refugees
coming in different part of Germany, earlier they
were staying in makeshift tents. Major investment
were made in these chemical due to large amount
of work going on to make building apartments more
energy efficient. Buildings in Germany have to
comply with German regulation on energy
efficiency. Aging infrastructure in Germany
creates high demand for repair and refurbishment
chemicals especially epoxy based repair as they
give better finish to the infrastructure.

What Have been the Major Trend in the Market
Construction of new residential buildings
recorded constant growth during the period
2010-2015 whereas repair and construction of
existing residential buildings recorded a
constant decline in its share. It was observed
that majority of the amount spent on construction
was has been made to refurbish the old structures
in Germany. Growth in construction of residential
sector was mainly driven by internal migration
and influx of refugees in Germany. Influx of
refugees has created additional demand for
infrastructure development in Germany as it was
major receiver of refugees among all European
nations. Net migration of foreign people amounted
to 1.14 million in 2015 (Based on data from 1st
January 2015 to 31st August 2015 and estimate for
four months) which was 49.0 higher compared to
2014 when Germany witnessed net migration of
577,000 foreigners as per data reported by
statistics office of Germany.

The raw materials mix of the German construction
chemical industry will is biased in favor of the
renewable raw materials. Today, the German
construction chemical industry uses slightly less
than 19 million tonnes of fossil raw materials
(petroleum products, natural gas and coal), 2.7
million tonnes of renewable raw materials and
approximately 20 million tonnes of mineral raw
materials. The chemical industry is one of the
most innovative sectors of the German economy. In
Germany the research intensity, or the ratio of
RD expenditures to the production value, is
slightly less than 5.8 per cent. How is the
Competition Concentrated in the Market Germany is
regarded as the hub for few major leading
constructions chemical companies namely BASF and
several others. Moreover, achieving economy of
scale in operations is important in chemical
industry which is highly evident amongst the
companies operating in this sector in Germany.

• There are certain advantages in setting up a
  construction chemical industry in Germany such as
  stable supply of raw materials, increasing number
  of applications of downstream industries,
  superior management and technology, relative
  superiority in base environment and others.
• The market for construction chemicals in Germany
  is highly organized with the presence of few
  major international players in the space such as
  BASF and SIKA Chemicals. These two companies have
  dominated the market space with an approximate
  share of 50 in terms of revenues during 2015.
  These international players are consistently
  enhancing their production capacity in the
  domestic market by acquiring local companies.
  This trend has been leading the industry to
  become more integrated in terms of technology and
  the market is becoming more concentrated.
• In addition to this, there are certain government
  regulations such as initiatives from State
  Council on accelerating the development of
  strategically rising industries, regulations
  related to environmental concerns and others
  which have been acting as one of the major
  barriers in the industry. These factors are
