On the basis of mortar type, the market is segmented into epoxy-based, polymer-modified cementitious, and others. Polymer-modified cementitious segment dominated the global market for concrete repair mortars in 2020 owing to their affordability, ease of use, and wide availability. The use of epoxy concrete repair material has increased as a permanent repair solution for improved strength. Epoxy concrete repair material is increasingly being used owing to its fast curing, improved layering, and versatility.
Polymer-modified cementitious material offers high tensile strength, faster drying, and increased durability & longer service life. This material offers enhanced workability, higher durability of adhesion, lower water permeability, and enhanced resistance to carbonation, thereby increasing its demand across the globe.
Cementitious concrete mortars are cement-based and finds application in walkways, fences, and walls. The product is readily available and is used for touch repairs or full restorations. It is sometimes modified with additives to impart enhanced properties such as anti-corrosion, durability, stability, longer life, and reduced moisture absorption.
On the basis of end-user, the market is segmented into utility, roads and infrastructure, buildings, and others. The demand from the roads and infrastructure segment is expected to increase during the forecast period. Growth in public infrastructure development, especially in emerging economies, drives the growth of this segment. Development of roads, highways, bridges & tunnels, rapid urbanization, development of the transportation sector, and increasing government investments are some factors attributing to the growth of the market.
On the basis of the method of application, the market is segmented into spraying, manual, pouring, and others. Concrete repair using spraying is increasingly being used for deteriorated structures owing to its ease of application in a large amount of continuous work. Spraying is usually used for highly congested and confined areas. This method of application is used in bridges, beams, parapets, cooling tower shells, industrial chimneys, tunnels, marine structures, and water-retaining structures among others.
Asia Pacific dominated the global concrete repair mortars market in 2020 owing to the increasing population, rising urbanization, and growing infrastructure development. The increasing adoption of concrete repair mortars in the region is attributed to the high rate of construction, technological advancement in the construction industry, and rising disposable income of consumers. Governments in the region are investing significantly in the development and maintenance of infrastructure, supplementing the growth in this region.
