Egypt is constructing a new administrative capital city east of Cairo. Government buildings, residential complexes, and infrastructure are all part of the project. This advancement has increased the need for building chemicals in a variety of applications. Construction of industrial facilities and infrastructure is required for the growth of economic zones such as RAKEZ. This has resulted in an increase in demand for construction chemicals to aid in the construction of factories, warehouses, and offices. The Middle East & Africa construction chemicals market is primarily driven by the construction and infrastructure sectors. This covers residential, commercial, and industrial building construction, as well as infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and trains. Concrete admixtures, waterproofing materials, sealants, and coatings are all required for these projects. The oil and gas industry, particularly in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Nigeria, is a major driver of demand for construction chemicals. This business necessitates the use of specific building materials in the construction of refineries, petrochemical facilities, storage tanks, and pipelines. The mining industry in some Middle East & Africa countries, such as South Africa, relies on construction chemicals for the construction of mining infrastructure, including processing plants, mine shafts, and storage facilities.

Based on report market is divided into three major countries, UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Among them Saudi Arabia is expected to dominate the market of Middle East & Africa. Saudi Arabia's construction chemicals sector is rapidly increasing. The rapid growth of the industry is mostly due to the rapid expansion of the country's construction sector. Furthermore, rising residential demand and increased awareness of the benefits of building chemicals, such as higher stability, resistance, and corrosion inhibition, are expected to fuel market expansion in the future. Furthermore, upcoming infrastructure megaprojects across the economy, with a special emphasis on renewable energy development projects, are accelerating market expansion. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia's rising economy and substantial oil reserves lead to greater governmental investment in commercial city construction and related infrastructure, providing enormous growth potential for the country's building chemical producers. Despite its dry environment, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia heavily relies on desalination to generate freshwater. Desalination plants require specialized construction chemicals for corrosion protection and durability during construction and maintenance. Traditional building methods and materials have been adapted to the harsh environment of Saudi Arabia's desert regions. Construction chemicals improve the performance of traditional building materials such as mud bricks and adobe by boosting their ability to withstand high temperatures and act as insulation. Saudi Arabia has been sponsoring large-scale programs such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Project as part of its efforts to diversify its economy. Modern construction chemicals are necessary for these projects in order to apply new and ecologically friendly construction procedures. In terms of product type market is divided into concrete admixture, waterproofing chemicals, repair and rehabilitation, adhesives and sealants, industrial flooring, surface treatment, cement grinding aids, protective coatings and grout and anchor. Waterproofing chemicals segment is expected to register highest register CAGR in Middle East & Africa.
