Premix plaster is basically a dry mix plastering material which is mixed with water at job site. The ready-mix plaster requires low curing time compared to that of conventional plastering materials. Some of the majorly used premix plaster include cement, lime, and gypsum-based premix plaster that are applied either by hand or by spray machines. These are supplied in small and large bags, and in bulk quantity to construction sites. Premix plaster is widely used on walls, ceilings, and columns in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and constructions.
The market is driven by increase in need for plastering materials in the construction sector. For instance, Saudi Arabia, being a member of Gulf Country Council (GCC) accounted for significant market share (more than one third) in Gulf Country Council (GCC) construction market. In addition, a rise in population coupled with growing urbanization led to large number of new construction projects in residential and commercial sector, which will further influence the market growth. Furthermore, the government is actively spending in construction sector with the help of foreign investors to increase the contribution of construction sector from 8.4% to 10% in the GDP by 2030. Such developments will lead to new residential and commercial construction projects, which will positively impact the premix plaster market. However, the high cost and time constraint of premix plaster may negatively affect the market growth.
Premix plaster is not suitable for small-sized projects and it should be applied within 4 hours after the mixture is prepared. In addition, it requires effective transportation between construction site and batching plant to avoid slumps in the plaster mixture. Furthermore, the low value to weight ratio of premix plaster is a big problem for industry players, which restricts the transport of plaster materials over long distance. Transportation of premix plaster over long distance may be uneconomical and non-profitable, which leads to negotiation of price of premix plaster on local basis rather than on a global basis.
The Saudi Arabia premix plaster market is segmented on the basis of binding material and end user. On the basis of binding material, it is divided into cement, lime, gypsum, and others (gauged, aerated cement, and burnt bricks). The cement-based premix plaster accounted for significant market share, owing to large application in both exterior and interior plastering unlike gypsum and lime plasters. Due to high water retention, cement plaster can be used even in moist areas such as kitchen and washroom. Based on end user, it is categorized into residential, commercial, and industrial end user. The residential segment accounted for the highest revenue share, owing to increase in investment for social and sub urban development projects, which was aimed to provide housing opportunities for low-income groups.
