A waterproofing Membrane is a thin layer of water-tight material that is placed over a surface in a continuous layer to restrict the water to pass through it. The waterproofing membrane is composed of thin layers of waterproof material. These are ideally strong, flexible, tear-resistant, and elastic so that they can stretch to cover cracks and also move with the building. Moreover, if the membrane is likely to be disposed to the sun then it should be UV stable. Additionally, it should also be flexible enough to take shape according to the desired surface. Also, there are two types of membranes available in the market sheet-based and liquid-based.

Waterproofing Membranes Market Insights

The growing demand for waterproofing membranes from the waste and water management sector, as well as the increasing development of water conservation infrastructure, is driving the waterproofing membranes market size. Waterproofing membranes have a wide range of applications across roofs, retaining walls, wet rooms, water, and sewage treatment plants, building foundations, and tunnels. The increasing need for improved infrastructure due to the rapidly increasing population especially in the APAC region is contributing to the increased demand for waterproofing membranes in the waterproofing membranes market value. Furthermore, rising consumer consciousness regarding product advantages, along with the adoption of new materials, such as geomembranes is projected to create potential growth over the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

On the other hand, the risk associated with the waterproofing chemicals to human health and the environment is likely to restrict growth over the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

Covid-19 Impact On The Global Waterproofing Membranes Market

The worldwide spread of the coronavirus has disrupted the supply chain across the globe, as well as industrial activities, have also slowed down due to the nationwide lockdowns and halt on construction activities. The need for social distancing has badly affected the working of almost every industry vertical as in turn the demand for waterproofing membranes has also been affected negatively.

 Waterproofing Membranes Market Segmentation

The global waterproofing membranes market segmentation is based on product, type, application, and geography.

Waterproofing Membranes Market By Product

• Polymers
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  • Thermoplastic olefin (TPO)
  • Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)
  • Polyurethane
  • Others
• Bitumen
  • Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS)
  • Atactic Polypropylene (APP)
• Polymer modified cement
• Others

In terms of product, the polymers segment is predicted to hold considerable market shares in 2021. This expansion is attributed to the polymer being an excellent choice for roofing due to its longevity, low cost, high-grade waterproofing, and ease of availability. Furthermore, in the polymer section, polyvinylchloride (PVC) membranes are commonly employed.

Waterproofing Membranes Market By Type

• Liquid-applied Membranes
• Sheet-based Membranes

According to the waterproofing membranes industry analysis, the liquid-applied membranes segment will dominate the market in 2021 with a significant revenue share. The liquid-applied membranes encompass cementitious, bituminous, polyurethane, acrylic, and other materials.

Waterproofing Membranes Market By Application

• Building Structures
• Roofing
• Walls
• Roadways
• Waste & water management
