Local manufacturing offers strong growth opportunities in the thriving Nigeria and South Africa cement additives markets A rapid increase in cement production and low penetration rates are driving high growth in the South African and Nigerian cement additives markets. As competitive, regulatory and pricing pressures intensify, the demand for low-volume, high-performance additives, especially quality enhancers, will rise. Additive manufacturers must anticipate clients' evolving needs and innovate to succeed in a consolidated ecosystem. As discussed in 'Analysis of the Cement Additives Market in Nigeria and South Africa' from Frost & Sullivan, the market is hindered by: delays in roll out of infrastructure projects; price sensitivity; and import of cement additives and cement from low-cost production regions such as the Middle East and Far East. GCP Applied Technologies, Mapei International, Chryso Southern Africa, BASF, Sika South Africa and Unisol continue to control the majority of the market through long-standing supply agreements with key cement manufacturers. Apart from BASF Africa, these players' rely largely on imported products to supply African markets. With growing R&D requirements making the market inaccessible to smaller participants, the dominance of these companies can grow with expanded local manufacturing, which diminishes the risk from exchange rate fluctuations and enables stronger technical support to clients. The cement additives market in Nigeria and South Africa is expected to increase at a strong compound annual growth rate of 7.1%. South Africa contributed 55.4% to total revenues in 2015 and remains
