Growing concerns associated with waste and wastewater management will propel the demand for waterproofing membrane products. Improper management of wastewater can release toxic compounds into the air which can have adverse impacts on the environment. Poor sanitation and accumulation of contaminated water are also responsible for causing diseases such as diarrhea, hepatitis A, cholera, polio, and typhoid.
 

Waterborne diseases are a huge burden for underdeveloped and developing economies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 829,000 individuals die from diarrhea each year. Public agencies are emphasizing the need for proper sanitation and treatment of drinking water to prevent death caused by waterborne diseases in young children. With an increasing focus on water treatment, the demand for waterproofing membranes is anticipated to soar in the coming years.
 

Fluctuating raw material prices may hinder business prospects for the waterproofing membrane industry. Challenges associated with the supply chain along with the shortage of raw materials have resulted in high costs of procurement of materials such as PVC and asphalt. Nonetheless, new technological advancements are enabling the introduction of innovative affordable coating products that could help the industry address these current challenges.

Waterproofing membrane market share from sheet membrane application is poised to surpass USD 4 billion by 2032. Sheet membranes provide excellent resistance against UV light and are widely used for setting up green roofs. These types of roofs are trending across developed regions as it helps reduce heat indoors.
 

Rapid urbanization has resulted in the occurrence of urban heat islands (UHI) which are caused due to the establishment of a larger number of buildings and roads. These infrastructures absorb and re-emit more heat than natural landscapes. Due to this, urban communities are shifting towards the concept of green roofs to limit the heat island effect caused to due to lack of vegetation in cities. This trend would boost the demand for sheet membranes in the years to come.

Waterproofing membrane market share from the roofing end-use segment is anticipated to exhibit a 7% CAGR between 2023-2032. Residential and commercial buildings use waterproof coating to reduce the impact of light and heat on the roof. Roof waterproofing materials help prevent possible leaks and creates a barrier to protect structures from rain and snow. It also prevents the formation of fungus and mold to ensure durability. Use of polyurethane waterproofing membranes for roofing offer multiple advantages such as resistance to battery acid, alkaline cleaners, freezing temperature, and corrosion.
 

New infrastructure development projects drive APAC waterproofing membrane industry expansion

Asia Pacific waterproofing membrane market size is poised to surpass USD 6 billion by 2032. Over the last decade, countries such as China and India have witnessed a massive increase in migration of rural populations to urban cities. Increasing government investments in the development of modern infrastructure will drive the need for waterproofing materials. The ongoing expansion of the construction sector will further fuel the demand for advanced roof coating membranes.
