Sheet Applied Membrane to Gain Traction
The sheet-applied membrane segment held a notable share in 2024, driven by its reliability and ease of installation. These membranes, often made from modified bitumen or thermoplastics, provide consistent thickness and excellent resistance to water infiltration, making them popular in commercial and residential construction. Building owners and contractors favor this segment because it offers predictable performance, durability, and compatibility with various substrates.
Rising Adoption in Roofing
The roofing segment generated a significant share in 2024, fueled by new construction and roof replacement projects. Roofs are exposed to harsh weather conditions, making robust waterproofing essential to prevent leaks and structural damage. The adoption of green roofs and cool roofing solutions has also increased the need for advanced membrane technologies that combine waterproofing with thermal insulation.
Growing Demand in Indirect Sales
The indirect segment is expected to grow at a decent CAGR during 2025-2034, driven by applications such as tunnels, bridges, and underground structures. They require highly specialized waterproofing membranes to withstand extreme pressure and environmental stress. This segment is characterized by the need for membranes with superior mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and longevity. Growth in urban infrastructure projects and public transportation networks is significantly boosting the demand.
