Rapid urbanization and infrastructure investments are driving the market for construction films. Construction films are highly durable, resistant to moisture, and environment-friendly. There is an increase in the demand for infrastructure development for residential and non-residential projects. The demand for industrial films is increasing, with construction activities rising. Rapid urbanization and rising consumer confidence in the use of construction films are contributing to an increase in the number of construction projects.
Moreover, the demand for construction films is increasing, with steady changes in lifestyle and the need for housing. According to the UAE Real Estate Report Asteco, the real estate sector in the UAE witnessed a steep rise in 2021. About 4,000 transactions worth around USD 2.0 billion were recorded in Dubai's residential sector in February 2021. Such investments in infrastructure development are expected to foster the demand for building products, which will aid the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market growth is being driven by rising concerns over the environment and a focus on sustainable building practices. Moreoveanufacturers are focusing on creating construction films from recycled or bio-based materials to minimize their carbon footprint. For instance, several businesses manufacture films using biodegradable polymers, Polypropylene (PP), or recycled plastics. In addition, sustainable building films have advantages such as high air quality, lower waste production, and energy efficiency.
Moreover, sustainable building films support sustainable construction methods and contribute to green building certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Therefore, the increasing adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly construction films will support the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Lower-grade films lack the required levels of resistance, flexibility, and mechanical strength needed for construction. For instance, these films can have insufficient barrier qualities, poor ultraviolet (UV) stability, or poor tear resistance, which may affect their performance and shorten their lifespan.
Moreover, issues related to lower-grade films may lead to higher maintenance costs, film failure, and possible concerns, including water damage or infiltration. Building films should be of high quality and durability to fulfill the standards of the construction industry and ensure long-term performance and dependability. In real estate development, the selection of building materials such as structural steel and glass is crucial for creating durable and aesthetically pleasing structures, while equipment and materials used in construction must also align with effective plastic waste management practices to ensure environmental sustainability. Such factors are anticipated to impede the growth of the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The LDPE and LLDPE segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. The demand for LDPE and LLDPE is rising significantly in the market. LDPE is preferred for applications such as vapor barriers, protective coverings, and geomembranes due to its flexibility and toughness. LLDPE is used due to its exceptional mechanical qualities, including high tensile strength and puncture resistance.
