Global Waterproofing Membranes Industry Outlook

According to Technavio’s market research report, the global waterproofing membranes market will grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR close to 7% during the forecast period. The growing market for vegetative roofing will drive the growth prospects for the waterproofing membranes market during the projected period. Vegetative roofs or green roofs include various components such as the structural roof, root barrier, a waterproofing membrane, drainage system, a lightweight growing medium, filter layer, and plants. The installation of green roofs and the incorporation of roof waterproofing membranes and other components offers benefits including such as the retention and filtering of rainwater, managing stormwater, increasing the life of the roof by 2-3 times, lowering heating and cooling costs, preserving habitat in an urban environment, and improving the aesthetic views of buildings. As a result, the demand for green roofs will increase, which will, in turn, boost the demand for waterproofing membranes.

The increasing use of crystalline waterproofing membranes will be one of the key trends in the global waterproofing membranes market. The crystalline waterproofing membranes are considered as the superior replacement for conventional waterproofing membranes as they rely on technology that turns porous concrete into an impermeable barrier. Since the use of crystalline waterproofing membranes results in reduced cracking, self-sealing, and provides a robust defense against the corrosion of reinforcing steel, the demand for these membranes is increasing, which in turn, will drive the market’s growth.
