The demand for waterproofing membranes was driven by extensive infrastructural projects worldwide. For instance, in 2022, China continued its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative, which involved massive infrastructure development across various countries, including the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings. These projects necessitated the use of waterproofing membranes to ensure long-lasting and durable structures.

Increasing Demand in Roofing Applications: The roofing industry witnessed a rising demand for waterproofing membranes, particularly in regions with high rainfall or extreme weather conditions. The adoption of membranes as a primary waterproofing solution for roofs increased, replacing traditional methods like asphalt. This trend was observed in both residential and commercial construction projects.

In 2022, the Asia Pacific region emerged as the dominant player in the waterproofing membranes market, capturing the largest revenue share of 32.1%. This growth can be attributed to the extensive infrastructural developments and rapid industrialization, particularly in countries like China and India. The increasing urbanization and industrial growth lead to higher congestion in cities, resulting in a greater demand for utilities and domestic water requirements. This factor contributes to the overall market growth in the region. Furthermore, the expanding roofing and waste management industries also drive the demand for waterproofing membranes in the Asia Pacific region. Additionally, the use of waterproofing membranes in mining applications is expected to further fuel market growth.
