Key Trends in the Waterproofing Membranes Market

Growth of Liquid-Applied Membranes
Liquid-applied systems are gaining traction due to their ability to conform to complex geometries, seamless coverage, and ease of application in tight spaces. In many regions, these systems are becoming preferred for terraces, balconies, roofing details, and curved façades. Their growing adoption is a driver in the overall waterproofing membranes market.

Sheet Membranes Remain Backbone in Large-Scale Projects
Sheet membranes (such as modified bitumen, PVC, EPDM, TPO) continue to hold strong in large roofing and foundation applications, especially in commercial or industrial structures. Their well-established track record, ease of quality control, and resistance make them a reliable option in many projects.

Industrial & Institutional Sector Leading End-Use Demand
According to Mordor Intelligence, the industrial & institutional sector captures the largest share of demand within the waterproofing membranes market. This is partly fueled by expansion in warehousing, factories, institutional buildings, and large public infrastructure. For example, India's warehousing output is estimated to reach 500 million square feet by 2030, generating demand for protective membranes in those facilities.

Asia-Pacific as a Growth Engine
The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share in 2024 and is expected to sustain leading growth through the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, rising construction activity, and increasing infrastructure investment in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia contribute heavily to regional demand.

Sustainability and Regulation Influences
With environmental regulations tightening, particularly around volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, demand is tilting toward low-VOC and more eco-friendly membrane technologies. Construction codes in many markets are beginning to mandate durability and leak prevention benchmarks, prompting broader use of higher-performance membranes.
