Competitive Landscape

The companies and businesses in the Indian tiling adhesives and grouts market include CHRYSO India Private Limited, Sunanda Speciality Coatings Pvt. Ltd., Fosroc, PERMA Construction Aids Pvt. Ltd. and Saint-Gobain India Pvt. Ltd. These companies are often challenged by the international brands. These Indian companies suffer due to lack of quality standards for production, manufacturing, and usage of construction chemicals.

Manufacturers have now started focusing on the best practices to effectively compete with their international counterparts. This has also resulted in improvement of working conditions and plant infrastructure, which in turn has improved the output quality and has lured more consumers. Companies are taking strategic initiatives such as product developments, mergers, and expansions to increase their market share. For instance, in October 2016, Roff launched 20 new experience centers in Kerala to spread awareness and educate end-users regarding the latest solutions and benefits of using construction chemicals especially for stone and tile installation.
