Since the Israel-Hamas war began, Iran and its archipelago of proxies have steadily advanced a collective campaign against Israel and U.S. forces in the Middle East. That campaign—which has included Hezbollah’s strikes into northern Israel from Lebanon, the Houthis’ attempted blockade of shipping through the Red Sea from Yemen, and near-daily rocket attacks by Shiite militias on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria—has threatened to drag the United States into an expanding conflict. With its recent missile strikes on three neighboring states, Iran signaled a potential new phase in the evolving turmoil, one that seemingly inched the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.

In those attacks, Iran was attempting to showcase its military strength and resolve. Yet, it also betrayed something else: Iran’s inherent weakness and strategic limitations.

On Jan. 16, using a combination of ballistic missiles and drones, Iran struck targets in Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan that its officials claimed had been associated with Israeli intelligence and anti-regime terrorist groups. The assaults were ostensibly in response to the suicide bombing attacks in the southern city of Kerman earlier this month, which killed at least 84 Iranians.

Although the Islamic State claimed responsibility for that carnage, which hit a crowd commemorating Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, who had been assassinated in a U.S. drone missile strike four years earlier, Iranian officials also blamed Israel and the United States.

In its brazen response, the IRGC launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones that struck buildings in northwestern Syria, destroyed the villa of a prominent Kurdish businessman in Erbil, Iraq, who Iranian officials implied was an Israeli asset, and hit the mudbrick house of a Baluch family in the rural Pakistani town of Koh-e Sabz, which Iranian officials claimed was linked to the anti-regime Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) terrorist group. The actions showcased Iran’s refined missile capabilities and underscored that Tehran could violate the sovereignty of neighboring states at will and free of meaningful consequence.

Although not much has been confirmed about the strikes in Syria, which hit a rebel-held area, Iraqi and Pakistani officials reported that the strikes in their countries hit family homes and killed at least six innocent civilians, including two young girls and an infant. For Iran’s leaders, the victims mattered less than the demonstration effect of the act. Iran’s choice of retaliation was designed to send a clear message to its enemies, and to Israel and the United States in particular: Any aggression against Iran will be met with quick and severe retaliation.

A willingness to respond to its enemies through missile attacks against neighboring states is something Iran has steadily showcased. In 2019, Iran struck Saudi Arabian oil facilities with cruise missiles and drones in retaliation for Riyadh’s support for the Trump administration’s pressure campaign on Iran. In 2022, in response to a series of sabotage attacks inside Iran linked to Israel, the IRGC launched a missile salvo that destroyed a Kurdish compound in Erbil that Iranian officials claimed had been used by Mossad to plan operations inside Iran.

More provocatively, Iran countered the assassination of Suleimani with a missile barrage against U.S. forces stationed at Iraq’s Ayn al-Assad air base in January 2020. That attack could have easily resulted in a shooting war with the United States, and had it not been for the mercurial decision-making of former President Donald Trump and the IRGC’s downing of Ukraine Air Flight 752 with an anti-air missile after mistaking it for a U.S. missile in the immediate aftermath of the attack, it may have. Yet, in all of those attacks—none of which were lethal, other than the downed flight—Iran incurred no military retaliation. The lack of responses emboldened Iran’s behavior and helped secure its policy of retaliation as a viable option.

Iran’s recent strikes were similarly designed to remind its foes that is has both the will and capabilities to escalate. Its missiles are accurate and can be deployed against targets anywhere in the region. Yet, while Iran may have succeeded in messaging resolve and ability, it did so by attacking straw men. Even though it blamed Israel and the United States for the suicide bombings in Kerman, it did not retaliate against either. And despite its vocal support for the people of the Gaza Strip, Iran did not attempt to use its military power for their benefit.

Instead, Iran fired ballistic missiles against isolated family homes—not military targets—in weak states. Iran chose actions against countries that it calculated would not seek to impose meaningful consequences or serious escalation.

Syria’s government did not acknowledge Iran’s attack, and because the missiles fell in rebel territory, it probably supported the effort. Iraq’s government, which is controlled by politicians close to Iran, was outwardly embarrassed and troubled by Iran’s actions and moved to take modest action by recalling its ambassador and issuing a diplomatic démarche in protest. However, because of Iran’s outsized influence among Iraq’s heavily armed Shiite militias and within Iraqi officialdom, Baghdad was in no place to do much more.

Pakistan was the only state in a position to reply to Iran’s aggression with anything other than words. Beyond withdrawing its ambassador from Tehran and barring Iran’s envoy from the country, Pakistan’s military promptly launched airstrikes against Baluch dissidents in Iran. But after matching Iran’s actions in a tit-for-tat exchange that killed at least 11 civilians and left smoking ruins in residential neighborhoods in both countries, Pakistan’s government issued a statement calling Iran a “brotherly” country and sought de-escalation. As Iran’s leaders assuredly predicted, Pakistan had no appetite to prolong hostilities, which meant that Iran’s actions were once again likely to escape significant ramifications.

Iran has therefore become adept at—but also reliant on—posturing for its deterrence. That is because, despite its military’s regional prominence, Iran lacks the power to take the fight to its enemies or clash with more powerful adversaries head-to-head. Even in the wars in Syria and Iraq, where the IRGC was heavily involved, Iran-led forces struggled in both conflicts until Russia and the United States intervened. It was under the umbrella of Russian air power that Iran-backed forces were able to turn the tide against Syria’s rebels, and it was the U.S.-led coalition (including Iraqi military and Kurdish forces) that was chiefly responsible for defeating the Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq.

Iran possesses impressive missile and drone capabilities, but those capabilities can only achieve so much. Relative to some of its neighbors, Iran’s air force is weak and relies on outmoded, Cold War era platforms such as the F-4 Phantom. Iran’s ground forces are more formidable, but they are strongest in defense and cannot easily take or hold territory beyond Iran’s borders.

Iran’s Shiite militia proxies are similarly limited. They are most effective when acting as insurgents in their home territories or as political spoilers. Unless they’re given a permissive environment in which to operate or backed by a more powerful foreign military force, such as in Syria, they are not adept at conventional operations. They can set up roadside bombs, fire mortars, launch missiles and drones, kidnap and kill local rivals, and engage in ambush attacks, but not much more.

Such tactics can still be effective, primarily because they are difficult for foreign state militaries to counter without committing to lasting campaigns and employing significant force. The effort waged by Shiite militias against U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq is a good example of this. Even though the United States has retaliated at times with limited strikes, it has been largely hesitant to respond to the more than 120 rocket attacks against U.S. forces conducted by Iran-backed militias since October. That is because there is no simple way to deal with those militias without fighting them directly, and doing so would not only drag the United States into another Middle East war, which would undoubtedly be unpopular in U.S. domestic politics—it would also jeopardize ongoing U.S. efforts against the Islamic State as well as relations with Iraq.

The Iraqi government’s response to a recent U.S. strike that killed a militia commander in Baghdad, which seeks to end the U.S. military presence in the country, is illustrative of the political sensitives limiting U.S. actions. The Houthis in Yemen are using a similar strategy in their attempt to blockade shipping through the Red Sea. Again, relying on missiles and drones, the Houthis are willing to tolerate limited blowback from the United States because they can reasonably assume that the United States doesn’t want to fight a war in Yemen, and therefore will not commit enough resources and firepower to meaningfully endanger the Houthis’ control of their home turf. The Houthis are willing to absorb some losses because they view that the political upside of their effort outweighs the risks.

The same is true for Iran and its other proxies, which is why they keep pushing. They hope to ensnare the United States in an unwinnable situation, one that may eventually prompt Washington to see more value in simply walking away from its military commitments in the region rather than obligating more resources to preserve the status quo.

Iran’s proxies can risk limited blowback from the United States and Israel because they have very little to lose. Iran, on the other hand, would have much more to lose if it were to spark a direct conflict with the United States or Israel. Iran could not, for example, replicate the Houthis’ shipping blockade effort in the Strait of Hormuz. It could try, but the risk of sparking direct escalation with the United States, much less the strain that it would place on relations with China and its neighbors, would present significant risk.

Seeking to reduce risk is why Iran outsources much of the violence to its clients—and why its clients have taken the lead in military action against foreign adversaries during the current crisis. Funneling its strategic activities through proxies keeps the fight away from Iran’s doorstep and allows others to absorb the costs.

In the present context, as Iran and its proxies attempt to assert themselves as the chief countervailing force against Israel and the United States, they have few cards to play. That is especially true in terms of military action, where they are mostly limited to standoff strikes. They can fire at targets from a long distance and use the threat of such as coercion with neighbors and foes, but Iran and its clients cannot do much more. They cannot take their war to Israel or liberate Palestine by force.

Instead, they are limited to conducting provocative acts in an attempt to shape the political environment. For Iran, such acts signal both what it can do and the limits of what it’s willing to do for its cause.

Your Guide to Relocating to Saudi Arabia

Thinking about a big move? Whether it's for work, family, or a new adventure, moving to Saudi Arabia is an exciting prospect for many. Here's a straightforward guide on how to move to Saudi Arabia and settle in smoothly.

Preparing for the Move

Before anything else, research is key. Saudi Arabia has specific visa requirements depending on your purpose—employment, residency, or family sponsorship. Most expats arrive with a work visa sponsored by their employer, which will also help with other necessities like housing and paperwork. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months and gather all required documents, including degrees and certifications, as they often need to be authenticated.

Understanding the Culture

Saudi Arabia is known for its rich cultural heritage and traditions. Life here is guided by Islamic customs, which shape daily activities, from prayer times to dress codes. Understanding and respecting local laws and norms will help you adapt quickly and build positive relationships with locals and fellow expatriates.

Settling In

Once you arrive, your sponsor (often your employer) will assist with formalities like getting your Iqama (residency card). This document is crucial—it allows you to open a bank account, get a mobile phone, and access healthcare. Housing options vary from spacious villas to expat-friendly compounds, so explore what suits your budget and lifestyle.

Making the Transition Easier

Life in Saudi Arabia can be a rewarding experience. The country has modern amenities, bustling cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, and stunning natural landscapes such as the Red Sea coast and the Empty Quarter desert. Socializing with other expats and locals can help you feel at home, and learning basic Arabic phrases is always a good idea.

Moving to Saudi Arabia involves a mix of preparation and an open mind. With the right planning, it can be an incredible chapter of your life.

Breaking Free from Religious Guilt: My Journey of Faith, Doubt, and Self-Acceptance

Introduction: A Journey Through Faith and Doubt

Growing up in the Philippines, being part of a deeply religious culture is often more than just attending mass; it shapes how you see yourself and the world. For me, being raised in a devout Catholic household was filled with traditions: rebultos, statues of saints, stood watch over our home, their gazes unblinking and ever-present.

Like the serene Child Jesus or the Virgin Mary, they saw as each guest brought their stain on our floors. Supposedly, they can eavesdrop on our private conversations and snatch them up as they pass through telephone lines. Despite that, I had to whisper and cover my mouth as if the statues were actual people with keen eyesight and sensitive ears. 

God was watching. God was listening. He observed every action, thought, and word. This belief gave me comfort as a child, thinking that an All-Powerful Being was protecting me. But as I grew and my understanding deepened, it became a source of inner conflict, especially when my own thoughts began to diverge from what was considered “right”. It was later I realized that some of our beliefs were just self-righteous.

The Emotional Weight of Questioning Beliefs

I was taught early that questioning faith was wrong. It was a sin that could invite punishment, whether divine or parental. To my conservative, religious family members, the mere act of questioning and doubting was already blasphemy. But how could the gift of human curiosity and intellect be seen so? The expectation was clear: obey without doubt, limit desires, and strive for heavenly rewards. It was a paradox I struggled with: how could we be free if even our thoughts were monitored and judged?

Still, I tried my best to be a good Catholic boy. I didn’t want to disobey my parents. So I prayed the rosary with my grandmother and recited nightly prayers. None of these erased the unease I felt under the sense of surveillance from an Omnipotent Being. How can I be comfortable with the idea that even showering or private moments were under divine watch? I had to flush the toilet with the seat closed when taking a dump. I had to close the curtains while I hurriedly put on my underwear and shorts. This constant awareness that "even my thoughts were sins" led to self-censorship and anxiety. For a child, this burden can be suffocating.

Experiencing Religion Beyond Home

When I moved to Riyadh and later returned to the Philippines to attend a Catholic school, the teachings became more rigid. Religion transitioned from personal devotion to mandated routines, where worship was no longer an act of love but an obligation. One was not a good Catholic if one failed to meet certain criteria–power-hungry men made criteria I suspected with nothing better to do.

We were told that every blessing was solely God's doing, leaving little room for recognizing our own achievements. My questions resurfaced, intensified by seeing that faith wasn't just shared by Catholics. How could we claim to be the only true path when there were Muslims, Buddhists, and others?

The Clash Between Faith and Personal Identity

My greatest struggle came with understanding my sexuality. I was a teenager at this point. For years, I tried to deny that part of myself, feeling only guilt, fear, and isolation. Every lingering glance to any handsome boy in the class scorched me with guilt, making me recoil.

In my mind, I was not just different. I was inherently flawed, an "abomination" unworthy of God's love. This shame made every moment of teenage curiosity feel like a prelude to condemnation. While all teens face discouragement for exploring their identity, being LGBT compounded this pressure, making me believe that acceptance and safety were unreachable.

Finding Truth Beyond Religion

College opened my eyes to a world outside religious constraints: philosophy, science, art—contributions from diverse minds that religion alone couldn't offer. I began to see life beyond strict dogma, realizing that the world was far more colorful than black-and-white beliefs. I listed my grievances: how could anyone be sure of an afterlife? Why was it acceptable to judge others harshly under the guise of faith? I saw relatives who were fervent in church but quick to gossip or judge others' choices, highlighting a painful hypocrisy.

Over time, I learned that who I am and what I feel is normal, and I embraced that. The freedom to accept myself brought a sense of peace that religion had denied me.

Conclusion: Moving Forward with Understanding

This journey taught me that true morality is not defined by blind faith but by understanding, empathy, and authentic living. To anyone struggling under the weight of religious guilt, know that goodness comes from who you are, not just from attending church. Your worth isn't determined by following every rule but by finding your true self and being kind to others. We can honor traditions and our past without being trapped by them, creating a world where faith, identity, and personal truth can coexist.

Aymeric LaPorta speaking about Sadui Arabia, Spain and his journey

MY REPLY to the article

I saw the AS article referred to LINK [ https://as.com/futbol/aymeric-laporte-hay-muchos-jugadores-descontentos-en-arabia-n/ ] ROUGH TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH [ https://as-com.translate.goog/futbol/aymeric-laporte-hay-muchos-jugadores-descontentos-en-arabia-n/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp ]

I quote the player in bold and reply in italic

It's a big change compared to Europe, but in the end it's all adaptation. They haven't made it easy for us. In fact, there are many players who are dissatisfied, but hey; We are working on it every day, negotiating so to speak, and seeing if it improves a little because this is something new for them too, having European players who already have a long career. Maybe they are not used to this and have to adapt to a little more seriousness.

This is a very vague statement. Does he want backrubs? If anything this proves that Saudi Arabia need to stay away from UEFA players. Stick to CAF + CnMeBol those two regions players are used to hard environments from their youth.

In every sense, but also in everyday life. Life for them… they take everything lightly. The ultimatum you can give them doesn't matter to them. I mean, they're really going about their business. You negotiate something and then they don't accept it after you have signed it. They fight you… It's a bit of a bummer that in Europe I don't know… Of course, the same thing that they take away from you in that they give you in other aspects.

More vagueness. He says the same they take from you they give in other ways, that is confusing.

I speak from my own experience and I don't know what others' experience is like. For my part, what I have seen is that they try to bring you in, but then there is the day to day life and that is different.

Well this is a muslim country, and a desert country, which is surrounded by wars and battles in all earnest. Israel and Yemen are exchanging blows, Saudi arabia is between them.

Yes, they take care of us, but not enough for my taste. That is to say, in Europe they pay you a good salary, but they take care of you much more.

Finally, we are getting somewhere, it isn't the money it is the backrubs. well ok, that to me isn't an argument. Most regions in the soccer world don't offer backrubs: most places in conmebol/Concacaf/afc/caf and the eastern side of UEFA tend to not offer backrubs either.

To be honest, many of us have also come here not only for football. Many of us are happy with that, but I am also looking for something beyond that is not the economic part and such. In terms of quality of life, I expected something different because in the end here you spend three hours a day in the car. Riyadh is a waste of traffic, of time wasted in the car.

He first said many are dissatisfied then he said many are happy:) But he is finally honest. He is looking for a little spain in Saudi Arabia, I could had helped, that ain't happenin:) The Saudi's are in no way interested in some little china's, little india's little Germanys' little Nigeria or whatever. Did he travel to Saudi arabia before he signed, that would had been smart?

It has very good points and many other bad ones. The shopping centers are truly spectacular. They take good care of the details, they have many things for the kids, everything is clean. But I already told you. If you have to go somewhere and you have to spend an hour and a half in the car, you don't even want to go there. Traffic is a negative point.

He is complaining about the traffic and maybe that they are not helping him past the traffic?:) players these days. HAve them deliver my friend.

Yes, I also live in a compound. The thing is that we are almost never here, because we play games every three days and it is exhausting. I would say it's more exhausting than boring. There are many games played and very close together, and that doesn't allow you to rest too much. Between that and then you go to the National Team and they don't give you days off and such, mentally and physically it is complicated, even if the pace is different or somewhat lower. It's something hard. We play the Cup, the Saudi League, the Asian Champions…

So now he is complaining of playing games every three days which happens in brazil. So his three big complaints is 1) living in a compound which is clean has all amenities 2) bad traffic which I will give him, Riyadh is growing and like NYC needs to widen but can't and so… 3) playing matches every three days which happens in brasil but maybe that is why he was so fit for the euros

I am giving a good level in Arabia, pushing myself to the maximum to reach the National Team in the best conditions to compete and show that I still have my position and that I hope it will be for many years.

So why couldn't others do that, the traffic?:)

Well, I'm going to leave it without comments.

That was his answer when speaking about Guardiola personally:) that is telling

I have a three-year contract here. There are details that I don't like here, as I said, and at a certain point it could be raised. At the moment, everything is very recent. It certainly won't be in the winter market.

Yes the details isn't the money or his home but, he wants no traffic, the ability to roam easily throughout Saudi arabia which is never gonna happen for a foreigner, and lastly not play every three days which I personally oppose, I like the brasilian way. IF you can't play, say I can't and another player will play .

IN CONCLUSION

His three arguments are for me not a big deal. One of his arguments is that he plays every three days but again, that happens in Brasil. Some FA's are serious, and I argue some UEFA players, thought with their senior years, they could put their feet up or have backrubs… they were wrong. As Neymar said [

Aymeric Laporte reveals challenges of Saudi Pro League move: 'There are many players who are dissatisfied' From commute times to contracts going un-honored, Laporte didn't hold back on the challenges of his new soccer home By Chuck Booth Jan 20, 2024 at 12:49 pm ET Aymeric Laporte became the latest player to voice displeasure with his experience after moving to the Saudi Pro League on Friday in an interview with AS. LINK TRANSLATED Laporte joined Suadi Pro Leauge side Al-Nassr during the summer from Manchester City and has made 14 league appearances, registering two goals and one assist, but as the defender opened up on his experience of playing in Saudi Arabia, it shows that some of the promise of the Saudi Pro League isn't match the reality of players' day-to-day experiences.

From the demands of playing matches every three days to promises not being kept and spending three hours per day in the car, Laporte stopped short of saying that he'd like to exit Al-Nassr but did leave the option open if things don't change in the future.

"Let's see, you're fine… It's a big change compared to Europe, but in the end it's all adaptation. They haven't made it easy for us," Laporte said on how he's adjusting to life in Saudi Arabia. "In fact, there are many players who are dissatisfied, but hey; We are working on it every day, negotiating so to speak, and seeing if it improves a little because this is something new for them too, having European players who already have a long career. Maybe they are not used to this and have to adapt to a little more seriousness."

Coming on the heels of Jordan Henderson's exit to Ajax and Karim Benzema not reporting to camp with Al-Ittihad, two other players who arrived last summer as part of the league's unprecedented spending spree in Europe, it's clear that playing soccer in Saudi Arabia isn't what some players expected it to be. Laporte, however, is one of the first to go in-depth on some of the direct struggles that he faces in the country, even down to negotiations. which was an issue that Henderson faced as most of his salary was deferred. Even when it comes to contract provisions, Laporte said, "You negotiate something and then they don't accept it after you have signed it."

It's a reminder that Saudi Arabian soccer falls outside the auspices of UEFA in Europe and has more freedom to-self govern which can lead to contract are enforcement issues (not that players going unpaid is unheard of in Europe, of course). With clubs like Al-Nassr being owned by that Saudi Public Investment Fund, that only adds more intricacies to contracts. Despite currently playing his soccer with one of the biggest public supporters of the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo, Laporte acknowledged that in Europe athletes are better taken care of.

Does that means he's ready to follow Henderson's example and do an about face and leave the country six months after arriving. "No. Let's see. At the moment, I haven't thought about it, but if I'm disappointed in such a short time, you wonder what to do," Laporte said when asked if this would lead to his exit from Al-Nassr. "That moment has not yet arrived, but in the future, it could be if this dynamic continues."

When it comes to life in the city of Riyadh, Laporte went on that while the shopping and cleanliness of the city are exceptional, traffic makes it almost impossible to enjoy, due to needing to spend at least an hour and a half in the car. He had different expectations, but looking beyond the economic aspects, there is room for improvement for the Spanish international.

"The thing is that we are almost never [home], because we play games every three days and it is exhausting. I would say it's more exhausting than boring," Laporte said. "There are many games played and very close together, and that doesn't allow you to rest too much. Between that and then you go to the National Team and they don't give you days off and such, mentally and physically it is complicated, even if the pace is different or somewhat lower. It's something hard."

While playing multiple matches per week is something that is done around the world, the rest days in between are critical for recovery. Following the interview, Laporte did apologize for his statements during a live stream and said that he is happy in Saudi Arabia. Still. three makes a trend. And on the heels of Hnderson and Benzema, it's clear the Pro League is struggling to meet the promise of its spending.

Something will have to give as with more coming out about the experience in Saudi Arabia, recruitment of top athletes will become harder, but it feels like we're coming to a crossroads in the Saudi project to grow the league to become one of the best in the world. The league is still in competition with places like Major League Soccer, and while the American organization might have challenges of its own (and players coming from Europe frequently are in for a rude awakening when it comes to travel), it certainly has stable contract provisions for the same players and some of the amenities in larger cities they're used to. And of course the Pro League doesn't want to simply compete with the American destination. It's lofty goals including becoming one of the best leagues in the world. Things will need to improve for Saudi Arabia to continue its rapid pace attracting top athletes.

With more than USD 30 billion in investments, the chemical sector to expand capacity and derive towards sustainability.

Construction Chemicals as Dry Mortars for Developing Innovative Building Materials

The strength of commercial as well as residential buildings is subsequently enhanced by incorporating cement and gypsum-based dry mortars. Different formulations are explored for creating dry building materials with significant properties like water retention, utmost strength, and excellent workability. The proper composition of dry mortars delivers distinctive textures in cement, and improves the cohesiveness and appearance of building materials. In forming dry mortars, the microscopic air bubbles should be uniformly distributed that improves workability. Ashland has developed a series of products that substantially assist in controlling rheology, water retention, workability, adhesive strength, deposition, and suspension while minimizing the challenges. Their trademark Aqualon product delivers numerous features like enhancing workability and providing phenomenal properties to dry-mixed building products.

Rise in Construction Activities are Amplifying the Market Growth

Construction chemicals such as water repellants, mortar admixtures, and efflorescence control are chemical substances deployed in the building & construction industry to enhance the tensile strength and performance of building materials, including cement and concrete. Furthermore, the increasing deployment of construction chemicals ensures superior strength, efficient workability, and excellent weather resistance. As a result, construction chemicals are vital for building & construction applications such as residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure to ensure excellent resistance. The increasing demand for larger commercial spaces, rising investments in parks, and the ongoing development of mixed-use commercial buildings are the prominent aspects amplifying the commercial construction industry.

For instance, in quarter 2 of 2023, construction of various commercial projects commenced at the global level, including Wadala GST Office Building in India (project completion year 2026), The Great Park Framework Green Space Community in the United States (project completion year 2030), and Forma Mixed-Use Development in Canada (project completion year 2028) are under various stages of construction. Henceforth, the booming development of new building & construction projects is spurring the demand for construction chemicals to ensure superior protection from the external environment. Therefore, the rise in the building & construction activities is propelling the construction chemicals market growth.

Significant Share of the Asia-Pacific in the Overall Market

The building & construction sector in Asia-Pacific is a key industry contributing to the overall economic growth of Asia-Pacific. The growth of construction activities in the Asia-Pacific buildings, surging public-private partnerships for infrastructure development projects, and the construction of new educational institutes.

For instance, as of November 2023, construction projects such as the Yamaguchi City Government Building in Japan (project completion year 2025) and Don Mueang–Suvarnabhumi–U-Tapao High-Speed Railway in Thailand (project completion year 2029) are under the development stage.
