Global Waterproofing Membranes Market Growth

The waterproofing membrane is defined as a clear, opaque, and thin layer which is applied on a material to protect it from contact with water. Waterproofing membranes do not allow the penetration of water through they can come in different shapes and sizes and are manufactured using different materials.

The waterproofing membrane market dynamics and trends are being driven by the significant advantages these membranes provide. They prevent water infiltration, safeguard structures from moisture damage, enhance durability, improve energy efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and offer versatility across applications like roofs, foundations, and walls.

Global Waterproofing Membranes Market Analysis

The market in the Asia Pacific region is being driven by rapid industrialisation across emerging economies such as India, leading to the development of industrial plants and manufacturing facilities, and propelling the demand of the waterproofing membranes market. In addition, the strong foothold of major market players in powerful economies such as China, is leading to the standardisation of membranes.

Over the forecast period, there is an anticipated increase in demand for waterproofing membranes from the residential construction sector, owing to the rising standards of living and increasing per capita income. Furthermore, the rising investments in water treatment infrastructure, favoured by government policies are bolstering the growth of the waterproofing membranes industry.

Global Waterproofing Membranes Industry Outlook

As of June 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau and United States Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that new residential construction is robust, with building permits issued at a rate of 1,446,000 units, housing starts at 1,353,000 units, and housing completions reaching 1,710,000 units thus increasing the demand for effective waterproofing solutions to ensure building durability.

According to the FIEC - European Construction Industry Federation, Non-residential construction accounts for 31.8% of the construction sector, making it the largest segment of the industry. In 2023, this segment grew by 1.5%. In 2023, Sweden topped the growth chart in the construction sector with a 10% increase, followed by Lithuania at 8.7% and Spain at 7.3%. This growth boosts the waterproofing membranes market revenue, as these membranes provide essential protection against rain and snow, prolonging the lifespan of roofing systems and preventing leaks.

In Australia, for the March quarter of 2024, the total number of dwellings completed has been 41,329, including 25,351 new private sector houses and 15,206 new private sector other residential dwellings. During the same period, the total number of dwellings commenced was 39,715, comprising 25,072 new private sector houses and 14,071 new private sector other residential dwellings.

In Europe, 46% of individuals have undertaken energy renovation in their homes over the last 12 months. Specifically, in the UK, this percentage rose from 28% in 2022 to 31% in 2023. According to industry reports, Germany's share grew from 43% to 47%, France's from 44% to 47%, and Italy's from 55% to 57% over the same period. This growth boosts the waterproofing membrane industry revenue, driven by rising energy renovation activities that enhance building efficiency and protect against water damage.
