Market Dynamics

Growing Construction and Infrastructure Projects

The demand for waterproofing membranes is being driven by the rising expenditures in the infrastructural, commercial, and residential sectors. To maintain the longevity and structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure, there is a strong need for waterproofing solutions due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization that has occurred in nations such as China, India, and Brazil. Furthermore, strict laws and building requirements that require high-performance waterproofing materials in building projects have supported the market's expansion even further. PVC waterproofing membranes are becoming the go-to option for developers, contractors, and architects looking for dependable waterproofing solutions for a range of applications since they provide good resistance to water infiltration and are reasonably simple to install. Further market expansion is being driven by technological breakthroughs and product innovations that aim to improve the performance and sustainability of PVC waterproofing membranes.

Increasing Adoption of Liquid Applied Membranes

Liquid-applied membranes (LAMs) are gaining popularity due to their ease of application and ability to cover complex surfaces and geometries. Liquid-applied membranes, or LAMs, represent one of the construction industry's fastest-growing segments. Systems are gaining traction as a preferred option for commercial roofing projects owing to their adaptability, dependability, and longevity. They offer seamless coverage and are ideal for both new construction and renovation projects. With the extended warranties that systems provide, LAMs are an excellent option for both new construction and renovation projects. They assist in prolonging the roof's lifespan without having to replace it and are appropriate for overlay. Systems often work with a variety of roof substrates, such as wood, metal, PVC, reinforced bituminous membranes (RBM), and single-ply.

Market Segmentation

  • Based on the type, the market is segmented into PVC (polyvinyl chloride), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), HDPE (high-density polyethylene), LDPE (low-density polyethylene), modified bitumen, and others (polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)).
  • Based on the application, the market is segmented into waste & water management, roofing & walls, building structures, bridges and highways, tunnel liners, and others (landfills, roadways).

PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) Membrane Holds the Largest Share

The primary factors supporting the growth include high compatibility of PVC membrane with common construction materials such as concrete, concrete masonry units (CMUs), stone, metal, plastic (PVC and ABS), wood (pressure-treated and fire-treated), rigid insulation, and insulating concrete forms (ICF). In October 2022, Polyglass U.S.A. announced a new waterproofing membrane for the building envelope. Mapeseal GC is a single-component, fast-curing, cold-fluid-applied, monolithic waterproofing membrane ideal for vertical and horizontal surfaces and damp and green concrete applications. Such developments are further aiding the growth of this market segment.

Regional Outlook

Global waterproofing membrane market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

Global Waterproofing Membrane Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share

Asia-Pacific holds a significant share owing to the presence of waterproofing membrane offering companies such as Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co., Ltd., Toray Industries, Inc., Toyo Chemical Co., Ltd., and others. The market growth is attributed to rapid industrialization, particularly in China and India, and expanding infrastructure investments are responsible for the expansion. The expansion is also anticipated to be fueled by the usage of waterproofing membranes in mining applications. The waterproofing technologies are specially formulated to prevent the migration or rise of moisture to extend the duration and improve the durability of the construction build. For instance, in March 2023, Bostik introduced smart waterproofing solutions seal & block in India. The launch highlighted the value of innovative waterproofing technology with the seal & block range in achieving more sustainable infrastructures, which is key to economic growth.
