Brazil Waterproofing Market Outlook
The Brazil waterproofing market size was around USD 951.13 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2024-2032 to reach a value of USD 1,529.04 million by 2032.
Key Takeaways
- In 2021, construction sector represented 9.7% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
- Currently, Brazil has the presence of about 100 designers dedicated exclusively to waterproofing.
- The rising popularity and construction of green buildings in Brazil offer opportunities for waterproofing materials and solutions.
Due to Brazil’s equatorial and tropical climatic conditions, where the north experiences frequent rainfall, waterproofing has become crucial to protect and increase the durability of building roofs and balconies. Humidity resulted by water infiltration accounts for 85% of the issues in Brazilian buildings.
Rising infrastructural developments in Brazil, such as the construction of roads and bridges, support the demand for waterproofing solutions. The country’s construction sector is rapidly growing, supported by rapid urbanisation and rising housing demands. The Brazilian government is increasingly spending on the development of infrastructure, including power stations, gas stations, roads, railways, bridges, and schools, among others. Such developments are expected to increase the demand for waterproofing solutions to prevent water penetration, structural damage, and degradation of buildings, to increase their longevity.
In Brazil, residential sales and construction activities are significantly rising. In Q1,Q2, and Q3 2022, the overall residential sales in São Paulo increased by 7.9% y-o-y to 50,728 units and residential launches rose by 4.3% to 51,715 units. The expansion of the residential sector is further supporting the Brazil waterproofing market development.

| Trends | Impact |
| Expansion of infrastructure sector | The Brazilian government is increasingly investing in infrastructure and renovation projects to boost the economic growth of the country. This is driving the usage of waterproofing solutions to improve the structural integrity and lifespan of buildings. |
| Rising demand for sustainable waterproofing solutions | There is a rising preference for sustainable and eco-friendly waterproofing products amid growing environmental and health concerns. As a result, companies are increasingly investing in R&D to create non-toxic, eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and high-quality waterproofing solutions. |
| Extreme temperature variations | Brazilian buildings encounter substantial challenges as a result of extreme temperature range. After heavy rainfall, temperatures can decrease from 34°C to approximately 20°C in nearly all states in Brazil during specific periods. In the southern region, temperature variations of nearly 20°C can occur within a single day. Such factors emphasize the importance of waterproofing. |
| Stringent regulatory requirements favour the demand for effective waterproofing solutions | Compliance with building codes and regulations in Brazil is a significant driver for the demand of waterproofing systems. These regulations, such as NBR 9574 and NBR 9575, stipulate specific standards for the execution, selection, and design of waterproofing, ensuring the safety and durability of structures. |
Brazil Waterproofing Market Trends
There is a growing demand for high-performance waterproofing solutions that are solvent-free, resistant to UV exposure, and durable.
Moreover, companies are increasingly developing innovative waterproofing solutions to meet the growing demands of customers. Companies also offer after-sales support and technical assistance at competitive prices, boosting sales of waterproofing solutions.
The Brazilian government, through initiatives like subsidised home mortgage programmes, aims to increase the accessibility to affordable housing. As a result, increasing residential construction activities have facilitated the usage of waterproofing solutions to prevent the buildup of moulds and mildew while ensuring enhanced comfort for occupants. Moreover, the Brazilian government is increasingly investing in significant infrastructure projects, including highways, airports, bridges, and public buildings.

Market Segmentation
“Brazil Waterproofing Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
| Market Breakup | Categories |
| Type | Liquid Membrane, Bituminous Membrane, Thermoplastic Membrane, Cementitious Membrane, Others |
| Application | Roofs and Balconies, Parking Deck, Bridges and Highways, Tunnel Liners, Others |
| End Use | Contractors, Retailers |
Based on type, liquid membranes dominate the Brazil waterproofing market share
There is a growing adoption of green roofs in cities such as Rio de Janeiro as a solution to lower indoor temperatures. This is expected to enhance the demand for liquid waterproofing solutions that provide resistance against root penetration and chemicals while offering sustainability benefits and being relatively environmental friendly.
Bituminous waterproofing systems can be used in roofing applications to offer a seamless waterproofing membrane for high green roofs.
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membranes are becoming increasingly popular due to their outstanding performance and easy installation processes. Additionally, these membranes are recyclable and can be melted, cleaned, and re-extruded.
Based on application, waterproofing of bridges and highways significantly add to the Brazil waterproofing market revenue
High-quality waterproofing membranes are used in bridges and highways to reduce maintenance and repair requirements and enhance the safety of commuters and passersby. Moreover, with surging road congestion and growing attempts to lower emergency pothole repair incidences, the demand for waterproofing of highways has risen.
According to the Brazil waterproofing market analysis, there is a notable surge in demand for innovative waterproofing solutions that can offer improved safety, enhanced performance, and increased workability for roofs and balconies.
Moreover, to protect parking structures, waterproofing membranes that can protect them from vehicle fluids and de-icing are being installed to extend the service life of parking decks.
