Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The base-year estimate is built upward from unit volumes: tonnes of repair mortar, polymer-modified additive and epoxy resin shipped for rehabilitation work, combined with realised per-tonne pricing by product family and region. Volumes are anchored to cement and admixture shipment data and to disclosed capacity utilisation at major formulators, since repair-chemical output tracks closely with broader construction-chemical production. The resulting build is checked against revenue disclosed by Sika, BASF and other listed suppliers for their construction-chemicals segments; where a regional volume assumption implied a unit price outside the disclosed range, the volume or price assumption was revised rather than the disclosed figure. Corrosion-inhibitor and structural-additive volumes, the thinnest-reported lines, received the largest such corrections.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target the roles that actually decide which repair chemistry gets specified and purchased: infrastructure-agency materials engineers, main-contractor procurement leads, distributor branch managers, and regulatory or code officials responsible for bridge and building rehabilitation standards. Sampling weights North America and Europe, where agency specification practices are best documented, alongside China and India, where the volume of active infrastructure rehabilitation work is largest. Distributor-side conversations check channel margins and regional price realisation, since list prices from formulators understate what a contractor actually pays after distributor markup. Conservation architects and heritage-body specifiers are included for the historical-building and monument lines, where specification logic differs from standard infrastructure work.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national bridge and structure condition registers (the US National Bridge Inventory and comparable European asset registers), which quantify the population of structures due for rehabilitation and anchor the demand-volume build. Customs codes covering epoxy resins and polymer-modified mortars (HS 3214 and 3824 subheadings) cross-check regional trade flows against domestic production claims. Trade-body benchmarks from Deutsche Bauchemie and equivalent national construction-chemicals associations supply average formulation cost ratios. Listed suppliers' segment disclosures and investor presentations are read directly rather than through aggregator summaries, since repair and rehabilitation is rarely broken out as its own reporting line and has to be reconstructed from segment commentary.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from the pace at which national infrastructure and public-works budgets convert into contracted rehabilitation work, and from the rate at which repair codes for corrosion protection and structural durability are actually enforced rather than merely published. Asia Pacific's growth rate assumes urban infrastructure built during the construction boom of the 2000s and 2010s continues entering its first major repair cycle on schedule. The historical 2020-2021 dip from deferred maintenance during pandemic-era construction restrictions is treated as an anomaly and normalised out of the trend line rather than carried forward. For the forecast to hold, public infrastructure spending must not be redirected toward new-build at repair's expense.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against the compound growth actually recorded across 2020-2024 by region and product family, and any forecast segment growing materially faster than its own historical rate was re-examined for the specific reason, not accepted on trend alone. Segment engineers reviewed the projected shift toward moisture-insensitive epoxies and corrosion inhibitors against known specification changes on major bridge and marine-adjacent projects. Sensitivities were tested on the two assumptions the forecast leans on hardest: the pace of public infrastructure funding release and resin feedstock pricing, both flexed independently to produce the bull and bear cases rather than a single uniform adjustment.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for repair mortars, structural additives and public-infrastructure demand, where shipment volumes and agency budgets are both well documented. It is weaker for corrosion inhibitors and moisture-insensitive epoxies, where reporting is thin and adoption depends on project-specific specification decisions that are not centrally tracked. The Middle East and Africa and Latin America regional splits rest more on adjacent-market proxies than on direct disclosure. A structural risk worth naming: if public infrastructure funding is redirected toward new construction instead of rehabilitation, the public-infrastructure and bridge lines would need downward revision independent of the rest of the forecast.
