Market Insights
Building finish refers to the final stage of construction where the interior and exterior elements of a building are completed to give it a functional, aesthetic, and liveable appearance. It involves installing various materials, treatments, and systems that contribute to the building's overall appearance, comfort, and usability. The finishing process occurs after the structural elements of the building have been completed, and it includes various tasks such as plastering, painting, tiling, flooring, and adding decorative elements. Construction chemicals play a crucial role in building finishing as they provide the necessary materials and treatments to achieve the desired results.
The building finishing market is expected to be worth US$ 15.9 billion by 2028 with a registered CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028. Major factors, such as the growing construction industry, increasing spending on infrastructural development, and increasing investment to upgrade and maintain aging buildings and infrastructure, are expected to fuel the demand for construction chemicals in the building finishing market. In addition to that, the rise in global population drives the demand for residential and commercial construction and infrastructure development, rapid urbanization and industrialization, and the rise in disposable income are likely to act as catalysts towards the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:
The market has been witnessing several crucial M&As, ultimately leading to gradual market consolidation. Among several acquisitions, in 2019, Sika successfully acquired Parex, which has allowed them to broaden their range of products for the building finishing market.

Application Type
The building finishing market is segmented into cementitious floors, tile setting, concrete repair mortars, façade mortars, and protection, waterproofing mortars, cementitious grouts, interior wall leveling, and others. Tile setting is expected to be the dominant application type during the forecast period. Major factors, such as extensive use and increasing demand for tiles in both residential and commercial construction because of their durability, water resistance, stain resistance, and crack resistance, are fuelling the demand for tile settings during the forecast period. In addition to that, the endurance and longevity tiles withstand heavy foot traffic, moisture, and wear and tear, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Also, renovation and remodeling projects are on the rise as property owners seek to upgrade and modernize their homes and commercial spaces. Tiles are a popular choice for renovation projects due to their ability to quickly transform the appearance and functionality of a space.
Product Type
The market is segmented into building mortars, engineered mortars, and cementitious flooring mortars. Building mortars are anticipated to be the dominant product type in the market during the forecast period. The global construction industry has been experiencing steady growth, driven by urbanization, population expansion, and infrastructure development. As more buildings and structures are constructed, there is a corresponding rise in the demand for building mortars to support various finishing applications, such as plastering, tiling, and masonry work.
Material Type
The market is segmented into acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, silicone, SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), vinyl ethylene, latex emulsions, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Acrylic is expected to hold the major share of the market during the forecast period. Acrylic is a popular raw material due to its versatile nature and wide range of beneficial properties that make it suitable for various applications. Acrylics have strong adhesion properties, which means they can form a strong bond with various surfaces. This quality makes acrylic mortars highly effective in adhering tiles, stones, and other finishing materials to substrates. In addition to that, Acrylics generally have rapid curing and drying times, leading to faster project completion and reduced downtime during construction.
Regional Analysis
The Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period due to the growing number of construction activities, rapid urbanization, growing population, and improving economic conditions. This has led to increased demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, driving the growth of the building finishing market. In addition to that, emerging economies, such as China and India, are investing heavily in construction activities and infrastructure developments, these projects require extensive building finishing work, such as tiling, flooring, painting, and decorative elements, ultimately fuelling the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific region. Also, governments in the Asia-Pacific region are implementing policies and initiatives to support the construction sector. Infrastructure development plans, housing schemes, and foreign investments are boosting construction activities, including building finishing projects.
