A ccording to a new study by The Freedonia Group, demand for cement and concrete additives in the Africa /Mideast region was $1.2 billion  in 2021, accounting for 7% of global demand.

Additive use relative to cement consumption in the region is generally low by global standards: Polycarboxylate Ether Superplasticizer Liquid

Less developed construction sectors have limited chemical and fiber additive use, although demand for these products has grown substantially over the last decade.

Minerals are more frequently used as ingredients in blended cements than as additives.

There are a number of markets with higher additive use intensities, particularly more affluent markets such as Saudi Arabia  and the UAE. Despite generally low intensity of use, the additive market is large in the aggregate since the region comprises about 80 countries and over 1.7 billion people.
