Construction Chemical Industry in India Set to Triple by 2035 with Sustainable Growth Opportunities

India’s construction chemical market is projected to grow from USD 4.88 billion in 2025 to USD 17.33 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 13.4%.
Published 22 September 2025

The construction chemical industry in India is entering a transformative phase, with market size projected to expand from USD 4.88 billion in 2025 to USD 17.33 billion by 2035. This growth reflects a robust CAGR of 13.4% and is closely tied to India’s infrastructure-led economic strategy, rapid urbanization, and the modernization of construction practices.

With government initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission, PMAY, and Bharatmala Pariyojana, construction standards are being redefined. The demand for high-performance solutions, ranging from waterproofing compounds to advanced concrete admixtures, is rapidly rising across both public and private sector projects.

Manufacturers Driving Efficiency and Sustainability

Manufacturers are not only expanding production capacity but also introducing innovative technologies to meet evolving construction demands. Pidilite Industries continues to lead with its Dr. Fixit range, Sika India provides integrated solutions for concrete infrastructure, while BASF’s Master Builders Solutions delivers tailored admixtures for complex structures like metro tunnels and bridges.

Companies such as Fosroc, Chembond Chemicals, and Ardex Endura are enriching their portfolios with products for industrial flooring, protective coatings, grouts, and adhesives. At the same time, international players including Saint-Gobain and Nippon Paint are strengthening their presence in India through acquisitions and product diversification.

This competitive landscape is fostering efficiency, with premixed formats minimizing waste, digital platforms streamlining procurement, and nano-additives enabling better performance in demanding conditions.

Infrastructure as the Prime Growth Catalyst

The infrastructure segment is projected to dominate India’s construction chemical market with a 64.1% share in 2025. Major projects such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Sagarmala, and metro rail expansions in Bangalore and Pune are fueling demand for specialty chemicals.

By ensuring durability, weather resistance, and structural resilience, these products have become indispensable in highways, ports, industrial corridors, and metro systems. Government-backed infrastructure investments, including the National Infrastructure Pipeline worth USD 1.4 trillion, are poised to sustain this momentum well into the next decade.

Plaster Leading Market Share in Residential and Commercial Projects

The plaster segment is expected to capture 33.9% of the product share in 2025, supported by its indispensable role in wall finishing and surface preparation. Companies such as JK Cement and UltraTech Cement are supplying modern polymer-modified plasters for smart housing and township developments.

The adoption of high-durability plaster is accelerating project timelines while enhancing finish quality, making it the preferred choice for developers, contractors, and real estate firms engaged in both new construction and renovation.

Regional Growth Dynamics

The regional outlook reveals diverse opportunities for manufacturers. East India is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 14.2%, driven by investments in roads, bridges, ports, and mining projects in Odisha and Jharkhand. South India follows with 13.6% growth, supported by large-scale infrastructure in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

North India is projected to achieve USD 4.7 billion in market value by 2035, supported by housing schemes and mega expressway projects. Meanwhile, West India remains a hub for demand with high-rise construction in Mumbai and industrial growth in Pune and Ahmedabad, supported by metro and port developments.

Overcoming Industry Challenges

Despite its potential, the industry faces challenges such as dependency on imports for high-performance chemicals and raw materials. This reliance highlights the need for greater domestic R&D and manufacturing capacity. Efforts to localize production are underway, with companies investing in advanced plants and partnerships to ensure self-reliance.

Additionally, stricter environmental regulations are pushing manufacturers to introduce bio-based, low-VOC, and water-based solutions. These sustainable products align with the growing demand for green buildings, energy-efficient construction, and smart infrastructure projects.

Training, Technology, and Future Outlook

Beyond products, companies are investing in knowledge-building. Training programs are helping contractors apply chemicals effectively, while digital supply chains are reducing lead times and ensuring faster delivery. Real-time customization and smart formulations are embedding innovation directly into project specifications.

The long-term outlook remains highly positive. From highways to housing, from metro rail to smart cities, the adoption of construction chemicals will remain integral to achieving speed, safety, and sustainability in India’s construction sector.

A Decade of Unprecedented Growth

From a CAGR of 5.4% during 2020–2024, the industry is set to accelerate sharply to 13.4% through 2035. This leap underscores the industry’s resilience, having navigated pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions while emerging with a stronger focus on safety, innovation, and sustainability.

As Tier 1 leaders like Pidilite, BASF, Asian Paints, Fosroc, and Berger Paints consolidate their dominance, mid-sized Tier 2 players and specialized Tier 3 enterprises will also shape the ecosystem with localized expertise.

The Indian construction chemical industry is no longer just a support sector—it is now a growth engine driving the future of construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure. For manufacturers, the next decade presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand capabilities, embrace sustainability, and secure leadership in one of the fastest-growing construction markets worldwide.
