Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Breathable Membranes Market size is estimated to reach USD 80 billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 13% during the forecast period i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of breathable membranes was over USD 7 billion. Rising demand for improved air quality, development of more energy-efficient building designs, and increasing investments in the improvement and renovation of residential and commercial buildings for energy management systems will contribute significantly to the market growth rate during the forecast period.

 The construction sector currently accounts for approximately 35% of the country's energy consumption, and there is an urgent need to contribute to energy savings and efficiency. The year 2022 marked the highest year for the global value of investments made in energy-efficient buildings. But in order to reach the goal of having net zero by 2050, the value of such investments would have to exceed half a trillion dollars every year between 2026 and 2030.

The market for breathable membranes is predicted to rise due to increased security awareness in construction operations. There has been a growing concern about safeguarding construction materials from water vapour harm.

Breathable Membranes Sector: Growth Driver and Challenges

Growth Driver

  • Demand for advanced roof-membranes quality - Roof-breathable membranes are becoming increasingly popular, despite their high installation requirements. It has been noted that poor placement of these roof membranes may result in the displacement of roof tiles, causing severe damage to the roof, hence increasing the breathable membranes market demand.
  • Increasing development and investment - Significant opportunities for the breathable membranes market development over the forecast period are projected to be created by the development of more energy-efficient building construction, and increased investment in the improvement and renovation of homes and businesses around the world.
  • Growing awareness about health and hygiene in developing nations - The acceptance of hygiene products in developing countries is low compared to developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and Japan, and Western European countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy.

    In APAC, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the adoption of health and hygiene products has been slow due to cultural differences and unaffordability. However, the epidemic has led to an increase in the introduction of sanitary products, as it is rising in developing countries. In addition, it is expected that by 2028 the market share of baby diapers will increase to 5.8 billion kg.

Challenges

  • Strict regulatory policies - Breathable membranes are strictly regulated in particular applications, such as medical devices and food packaging. This might raise the cost and complexity of introducing new products to the market.
  • Fluctuating raw material prices are anticipated to hamper the market growth in the upcoming period.
  • Intense competition from substitutes.

Breathable Membranes Segmentation

Raw Material (Polyethylene, Polypropylene)

In terms of raw material, the polypropylene sector is assessed to hold a 40% market share throughout the forecast period, 2024-2036. Breathable membranes are entirely waterproof, can better drain away condensation, and are appropriate for heated roof constructions without ventilation.

Polypropylene is the preferred material for creating these membranes since it is long-lasting, breathable, water-resistant, inexpensive, and considered harmless and non-toxic to people.

Application (Pitched Roofs, Medical, Walls)

Based on application, the medical segment is set to hold the largest breathable membranes market share during the estimated period. Due to the growing interest in people's health and the increase in the number of hospitals, the use of breathable films and membranes has increased significantly in the healthcare field.

More than 90% of the US population has access to health insurance. The majority of people age 65 and older have insurance through Medicare or Medicaid, private health insurance, or both.
