Emerging economies offer strong growth opportunities for the waterproofing membranes market. Over the next 30 years, more than half of the world’s population growth will occur in nine countries. Most of these are emerging markets.
*Definition: Waterproofing membranes are thin sheets made from materials such as modified bitumen, thermoplastic polyolefin, liquid-applied, and sheet-applied materials, which are used for waterproofing roofs and creating barriers to prevent leakage and seepage through building structures like foundations, basements, retaining walls, planters, and roofs. These membrane materials provide long-lasting protection against water infiltration and are designed to prevent moisture from damaging structures, materials and contents. The global waterproofing membranes market has been growing due to increasing construction activities and infrastructure development projects worldwide.
