new Throughout the next few decades, the world’s population and urbanization is projected to increase significantly, driving the need for new residential and commercial buildings, The demand for concrete surface retarders is anticipated to rise in tandem with the expansion of the construction industry. Many building developers use concrete surface retarders to create an exposed concrete surface for aesthetic as well as practical purposes. The aesthetic applications include creating a beautiful exterior of a building as well as creating beautiful floors. Moreover, its practical applications include making the surface resistant to slipping. Exposed concrete surfaces are beneficial in areas such as pool decks, patios, driveways, walkways, and other outdoor public spaces, as well as indoor spaces. In addition, a slip resistant surface is also required in manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, the UN predicts that by 2050, the world’s population is projected to experience growth from its projected 8 billion in 2023 to more than 9.7 billion. If current demographic trends continue, there will be 11 billion people on Earth by the year 2100. Furthermore, the UN also projects that about 68% of the world’s population will be residing in urban areas, up from 55% in 2018. Most of the estimated growth in urbanization is expected to come from Asia and Africa. As a result, there is growth in the building construction sector of these regions. For instance, in October 2021, the governments of Dubai and India reached an agreement to construct various institutional and infrastructural buildings including college, hospital, logistic center, multipurpose hospital, industrial park, and various other infrastructure. Furthermore, there is a significant increase in the number of small and large retail stores, with developments in economic situation of the general population. For instance, IKEA is planning to open 30 stores in India by the year 2028. In addition, DLF and other groups are investing millions of dollars in the development of commercial building complexes.
