Market Restraints
However, fluctuating raw material prices of waterproofing membranes is expected to restrain growth of the global market in the near future due to supply and demand imbalance. The raw materials used for producing waterproofing membranes include polypropylene and bitumen among many others.
Market Opportunities
Key players are focusing on new product launches in the waterproofing membranes to gain market opportunity in the waterproofing membranes at global level. For instance, in 2019, Carlisle Companies Inc. launched the new BarriBond XL liquid flashing and detail sealant. The new product is expected to solve problems caused due to shortage of polyether polymer and it can also be a substitute for polyether polymers for all applications. This is expected to boost consumer demand and help the company in increasing its customer base.
Market Trends/Key Takeaways
Key players are adopting in-organic growth strategies such product development, among others, in order to expand their portfolio and market share in the global waterproofing membranes market. For instance, in 2018, Supreme Industries Limited, a processor of plastic based in India, launched a new waterproofing membrane called ‘DURAmembrane’ which is a durable, lightweight, and cost-effective solution specially designed for the waterproofing and construction chemicals industries. DURAmembrane is a cost effective solution for waterproofing roofs, basements, terraces, gardens, and bathrooms. Moreover, it is resistant to alkali, salts, and acids. This product was launched to tackle problems associated with leakage in factories and commercial spaces, as a quick and easy-to-apply system ensuring maximum productivity.

Recent Developments
GCP Applied Technologies
- In May 2018, the company entered into an agreement to acquire Stirling Lloyd, a U.K.-based supplier of high-performance liquid waterproofing and coating products. This acquisition has helped GCP to expand its product portfolio and presence in the U.K. market.
Sika Group
- In January 2019, the company acquired major stakes of Index Construction Systems and Products, an Italy-based manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems. This acquisition is expected to help the company in expanding its product portfolio and strengthening its position in the Italy market.
Global waterproofing membranes market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.7% over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for various applications such as roofing & walls, building structures, mining, and bridges & highways, among others. Furthermore, increasing mergers and acquisitions among players, across the globe is an added advantage for increasing demand for the global waterproofing membranes. For instance, in 2018, Sika Group acquired Arcon Membrane Srl, a Romanian provider of waterproofing materials. This acquisition helped the company in expanding its presence in Romania and increase its customer base in the country.
Among material type, TPO (Thermoplastic Olefins) segment accounted for a significant market share in in 2018. TPO waterproofing membranes are produced from a mixture of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene polymers. The TPO waterproofing membrane can be installed anytime during the year with an appropriate roof deck preparation. TPO waterproofing membranes are characterized by a wide range of roof construction requirements.
TPO is highly preferred in North America and Europe, owing to various characteristics such as relatively lesser weight than other products (such as Polyvinyl Chloride), flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to hot air welded membranes. TPO membranes may or may not be reinforced. Moreover, other proprietary ingredients such as pigments, UV absorbers, and flame retardants may also be added to TPO waterproofing membrane formulations.
Among category, liquid applied membrane segment is expected to gain a significant market share during the forecast period. Further, among LAP membranes, cold liquid applied membrane sub-segment is accounted for a major share in 2018, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Cold liquid applied membranes are easy to install and their fast curing properties make them suitable for use in different applications such as walkaways, flat roofs, balcony, and surface applications. Moreover, cold liquid applied membranes offer long life expectancy to waterproofing applications and have high resistance to extreme temperature variations. These factors are expected to drive demand for cold liquid applied membranes during the forecast period.
Furthermore, key players are strategizing business ideas, in order to expand their market presence and thereby gain a larger customer base. For instance, in 2016, Sika AG acquired KVK Holdings A.S, a manufacturer of waterproofing and roofing systems, as well as a wide range of mortar products. With this acquisition, Sika AG expects to expand its waterproofing membrane solutions in the Europe market.
