Waterproofing Materials Market, Global, 2024‒2031
Market Concentration is Driving the Transformational Growth of Large Companies Acquiring Local and Regional Companies
Waterproofing materials and systems prevent water from penetrating surfaces or buildings, protecting them from dampness, moisture damage, and intrusion. These materials form a barrier against water penetration and hydrostatic pressure, preserving the building's structural integrity and durability.
Examples include membranes in external below-grade walls to prevent water intrusion and liquid membranes on terraces to provide waterproof capabilities to concrete or metal sheet rooftops.
The waterproofing materials sector in the construction industry is mature in terms of technologies and market structure, and companies are using acquisitions, marketing, and customer relations management as the main path to success.
In this analysis, Frost & Sullivan covers waterproofing materials in the construction industry, analyzing mainly global volumes and revenues. The report also provides a regional split in revenue terms. We also analyzed the past 10 years’ most relevant mergers and acquisitions—one of the main industry trends.
The forecast is based on construction activity level, market penetration of waterproofing products, price evolution, and products taking market volume. With 2024–2031 as the study period, the base year is 2024 and the forecast period is 2025–2031.
The report does not include water-resistive air barriers or cavity drains.
Key Features
Waterproofing materials generally take the form of:
Liquids: These solidify after application (painting, spraying, or injection) or act as additives to other materials.
Solid Sheets: Materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or bitumen, often laminated with adhesives, PE, aluminum foils, or other materials.
Additionally, this category includes tapes
Powders or Pastes: These primarily serve as additives.
