Concrete surface retarders are chemical formulations that delay or retard the setting rate of the top surface (or mortar) of a freshly poured concrete. The top surface paste is removed later by various processes, such as pressure washing and hosing, to give an exposed aggregate finish to the concrete surface. The concrete surface retarders market is expected to be influenced by the growth trends in the construction industry. MarketsandMarkets projects the concrete surface retarders market to grow from USD 72.7 million in 2018 to USD 89.4 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.23% from 2018 to 2023. Factors such as increasing urban population, rising infrastructural investments, and growing demand for green buildings have propelled the growth of the global concrete surface retarders market. However, lack of awareness and varying government regulations across regions act as a challenge to the growth of the global concrete surface retarders market.

The key players in the concrete surface retarders market include Sika (Switzerland), BASF (Germany), MAPEI (Italy), GCP Applied Technologies (US), CEMEX (Mexico), W. R. Meadows (US), The Euclid Chemical Company (US), RussTech (US), Fosroc (UAE), and Parchem Construction Supplies (Australia). Developmental strategies adopted by the leading market players include acquisitions, expansions, divestments, and joint ventures.
