Application - Segment Analysis
Roofing & Walls held the largest share in Waterproofing Membranes Market in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.44% during the forecast period 2020-2025. Waterproofing Membranes offer ideal roofing solutions about their elongation, tear strength, resistance to heat aging, weathering, UV radiation, ozone, solvents, acids & alkalis, and excellent tensile strength. It adheres firmly to various building materials such as brick & concrete and bridges cracks that are driving the market size. Waterproofing membranes form a shield against the seepage of water on the roof and wall, thus forming the main component of roofing systems. They protect the roofing and walls from the adverse effects of water seepage such as differential movement caused by thermal differences between wet & dry areas, and acid damage from evaporating rainwater. Also, waterproofing membranes are superior to conventional flat roofing methods based on gravel & asphalt. Thus, owing to such properties the demand for waterproofing membranes is anticipated to grow in the forecast period.
Geography- Segment Analysis
Asia-Pacific held the largest share of 38% in 2019 in Waterproofing Membranes Market. China is the key consumer of waterproofing membranes in Asia-Pacific. The region's demand is powered by growing roofing, waste, and water management industries. In turn, numerous mergers and acquisitions, innovation, and expansion in various industries have made the area a potential market for waterproofing membranes to expand. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), the construction industry in China was worth $893.58 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $1117.42 billion in 2021. The expenditure of the Chinese government in the construction sector is expected to increase in both residential and non-residential sectors during the forecast period, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for waterproofing membranes. Also, according to India Brand Equity Foundation, the IT-BPM sector in India stood at US$ 177 billion in 2019, with a rise of 6.1 percent year-on-year, and the size of the industry is expected to grow to US$ 350 billion by 2025.
Drivers – Waterproofing Membranes Market
Increasing demand for waterproofing membranes from water & wastewater management systems
Owing to the property such as flexibility, ease of application and cost-effectiveness there is growth in water & wastewater management system. High growth is due to the rising population, urbanization, and industrialization, as a result of which water management activity is increasingly required to maximize water use in both developing and developed countries. Apart from these, water contamination by heavy metals, cyanides, and dyes is increasing globally and needs to be addressed as this will lead to water scarcity as well as water quality. Hence, to avoid negative effects on the environment, and human health from contaminants, the increasing use of water & wastewater management systems will drive the waterproofing membranes market in the forecast period.
Increasing use of waterproofing membranes in mining
Owing to the high resilience in exhaustive environments, the waterproofing membrane is suitable for mining applications. Waterproofing membrane is used in structures such as tunnels, lines for the mine shaft and walls for dams. Metal mining, such as gold, copper, nickel, salt, cobalt, molybdenum and others, brings enormous opportunities to the waterproofing membrane market. Mining operations are often conducted in remote regions but also in fragile ecosystems. Waterproofing membranes can very easily take on these situations and can perform under the toughest conditions. The key applications of waterproofing solutions in the mining industry are prevention of mine explosives and fuse damaging from exposure to elements such as water and moisture. Also, for electrical substations in underground mines, waterproofing membranes are important since it keeps electrical equipment dry and free from corrosion.

Challenges – Waterproofing Membranes Market
Price Fluctuation of raw materials
The price and availability of raw materials is a major factor that affects the end-product prices. The global market for waterproofing membranes has seen oscillating raw material price trends which are fluctuating because of volatile energy prices. The manufacturer of the waterproofing membrane is targeted by price-sensitive customers. Most of the raw materials are petroleum-based and are vulnerable to commodity price fluctuations. This is a major challenge for the waterproofing membranes industry to predict the future price, leading to low investment in projects related to waterproofing membranes. According to BP statistics, in 2018, the average oil price increased to $71/ bbl from $54/bbl in 2017. Therefore, the fluctuation in oil prices is negatively affecting waterproofing membrane market growth.
Health hazards from exposure to volatile fumes
Workers can be exposed to toxic fumes during the application of the bitumen-based membranes. Extended exposure to these fumes can cause health problems, such as nasal irritation and bronchitis. Furthermore, workers with extended working lengths demonstrate more nasal, pharyngeal symptoms. While the trend toward synthetic membranes is changing, bitumen still accounts for the largest portion of the waterproofing membrane market. Owing to which it means a large section of workers in the roofing industries is vulnerable to this, particularly in emerging economies. However, this factor can create hurdles for the waterproofing membranes market in the forecast period.
