COVID-19 Impact on the Global Redispersible Polymer Powder Market

The pandemic is estimated to have a huge impact on various factors of the value chain of redispersible polymer powder market, which is expected to reflect during the forecast period, especially in the year 2020. The various impact of COVID-19 are as follows: 

• Impact on Construction end-use industry: According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the real global gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to shrink by ~3% in 2020, which is 5.9% points lesser than the 2.9% GDP growth recorded in 2019. The impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry is estimated to vary in different regions across the world. The IMF has predicted that there will be heavy layoffs in the construction sector and other industries in the US. In Europe, the building & construction industry is anticipated to contract by 60–70% in 2020. However, in Asia Pacific, the economy of China is improving as the construction and automotive sectors in most parts of the country have resumed normal activities. This led to the growth of the economy of the country by 4% in the second quarter of 2020. According to the Financial Express, the construction industry in India suffered significant losses from April to June 2020. It predicts the construction industry in the country to witness a decline of 12–16% in investments in the current fiscal year as compared to the previous year.

Redispersible Polymer Powder Market Dynamics

Driver: Increased spending on repair and maintenance

Mortar is a significant application of redispersible polymer powder. This powder is also used in repair mortars. Increasing spending on repair and maintenance of structures in the construction industry provides growth opportunities to the redispersible polymer powder market. The poor quality of buildings and infrastructure, in terms of reliability, safety, and workability, fuels the need for repair and maintenance. Owing to significant energy usage and high emissions from the European residential building sector, the European Commission has prioritized the energy-efficient renovation of existing residential buildings in Europe. Keeping energy conservation in mind, the European Union (EU) has launched a number of schemes, providing grants for households for the energy-efficient upgrade of their homes. In addition to this, the home renovation incentive (HRI), a tax credit on expenses for repair and renovation work, has been provided by the EU. Such governmental schemes are promoting repair and maintenance activities in the European construction industry, which, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the demand for redispersible polymer powder in Europe during the forecast period. Natural calamities also lead to the need for maintenance and repair in the construction industry. In the Asia Pacific region, Australia, India, China, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines experience frequent droughts and floods. These natural disasters have led to increased spending on infrastructure repair and maintenance, thereby increasing the use of redispersible polymer powder in the construction industry.

Restraint: High risks associated with spray drying production process

Redispersible polymer powder is produced by spray-drying an aqueous mixture of stabilizers and polymers. During the spray drying process, dust particles are exposed to high temperatures, resulting in the formation of a dust cloud. A spontaneous combustion reaction occurs on the exposure of the dust cloud to high temperatures. This can result in a hazardous explosion accompanied by decomposition reactions, causing serious health hazards. During this explosion, if the amount of oxygen available is less, incomplete combustion of mixtures may occur, giving rise to smoke. The smoke is a mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter. Exposure to such smoke can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat; difficulty in breathing; problems in lung functioning; asthma; and other cardiovascular diseases. Proper precautions need to be followed to reduce these risks, which cannot be, however, eliminated completely. Hence, these health hazards associated with the redispersible polymer powder production process restrain the market's growth.

Opportunity: Rising demand in green buildings

Rising energy costs and changing environmental regulations related to construction have created a high demand for energy-efficient and cost-efficient buildings. Green building technology uses environment-friendly resources in the entire life cycle of buildings, making them cost-efficient due to the optimum utilization of resources. Redispersible polymer powder is widely used in various green building applications, such as mortars, plasters, insulating systems, and architectural paints, to increase durability, tensile strength, impact resistance, and flexibility. It also contributes to the minimization of maintenance costs, resulting in cost-efficient buildings. These factors have increased the appeal of eco-friendly redispersible polymer powder with negligible VOC emissions, especially for use in green building construction. 

Challenge: Stringent environmental regulations related to VOC emissions

Awareness about environmental pollution is increasing. Hence, various regulatory authorities, such as Hazardous to Health (COSHH); European Union (EU); Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH); Globally Harmonized System (GHS); and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Europe and North America have imposed restrictions on VOC-based products. Stringent environmental regulations, such as the Joint Regional Air Quality Management Plan in Hong Kong and Clean Air Act (US), have increased the need for redispersible polymer powders with no VOC content. These stringent regulations have compelled the key players of the redispersible polymer powder market to focus their research efforts on developing no VOC products. Growing concerns about the adverse effects of formaldehyde on human health have led to the development and use of formaldehyde-free technology to manufacture redispersible polymer powder. Thus, stringent environmental regulations imposed by different governmental bodies on VOC contents act as a major challenge for the growth of the redispersible polymer powder market.
