Somany Ceramics Acquires Majority Stake in Durabuild, Enters High-Growth Construction Chemicals Segment

This acquisition marks a pivotal step in Somany’s long-term strategy to transform into a total building solutions provider, offering products that not only elevate aesthetics but also strengthen the core of built structures. Durabuild will now operate under the flagship brand ‘Somany’, emerging as a strategic pillar within Somany’s Home and Building Solutions vertical.

India’s construction chemicals market is on a strong growth trajectory. The waterproofing segment is currently estimated at USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.0 billion by 2030, and the cement admixtures segment is expected to more than double to USD 1.9 billion by 2033.

Speaking on the acquisition Mr. Abhishek Somany, Managing Director & CEO, Somany Ceramics, said “This acquisition is a strategic leap in our journey to become a full-spectrum building materials brand. Durabuild’s technical heritage and institutional trust, combined with Somany’s pan-India brand and distribution network, give us the right foundation to scale this business nationwide.”

Somany plans to deepen its footprint across India by building category awareness in selected segments of the construction chemical space.

With this acquisition, Somany not only expands its product universe but also reinforces its brand promise – delivering both elegance and endurance to India’s construction landscape.

Grant Thorton Advisory Private Limited acted as the exclusive financial advisor for this transaction.
