what is the market size of waterproofing chemicals in India?
India construction chemicals market is projected to exhibit a CAGR of over 15% by 2023.

Moreover, there is growing investment in the country’s infrastructure projects by the government as well as private companies. Additionally, government regulations pertaining to the use of construction chemicals with low VOC, especially in Green Building Concept based construction projects, would further propel demand for quality construction chemicals in the coming years.

Waterproofing is a basic requirement for all types of structures irrespective of the fact whether they are residential, commercial or industrial buildings. Basically there are two types of waterproofing depending upon the time of application, i.e., either new waterproofing or repairs of old waterproofing. The treatments can be carried out at two stages, i.e., while concreting by use of integral waterproofing compounds or surface coatings after the concrete is hardened. All waterproofing treatments should consider knowing the client’s requirements, investigation, diagnosis, design, and specifications for the waterproofing system, selection of materials, application, supervision, and maintenance.
