Geosynthetics Market Segmentation By Product (Geotextile, Geomembrane, Geocell, Geocomposite, Geosynthetic Liner, Geonet, Geofoam and Geogrid); By Material (Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Polyester, and Other Materials); By Application (Separation, Drainage, Filtration, Reinforcement, and Stabilization) and By End User (Construction, Environment, Transportation and Other Industries) - Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2028

Introduction to Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics are the engineering materials made from various types of polymers which are designed to enhance and improve the mechanical and physical properties of soil. Geosynthetics are light, flexible, possess high tensile strength, stability and durability and are extendable on the application of loads. These products possess the ability to retain their properties when exposed to severe environmental conditions. Geosynthetics are available in a wide range of forms and materials to serve different purposes. They have a wide range of applications in projects such as transportation, hydraulic, roads, embankments, reservoirs, canals, dams, erosion and sediment control, landfill covers, mining, and agriculture.

Market Size and Forecast

Increasing demand from the infrastructure sector and rapid development in the construction industry along with the extensive usage of geosynthetics in waste management and irrigation projects are some of the significant factors boosting the market growth. The geosynthetics market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. The market is segmented by product into geotextile, geomembrane, geocell, geocomposite, geosynthetic liner, geonet, geofoam and geogrid. Among these segments, the segment for geomembrane is anticipated to hold the leading share in the market on account of rise in application of geomembrane as a lining systems and waterproofing solution in waste water management, landfill lining, tunnel and railways. Furthermore, the demand for usage of geomembrane in transportation, mining, agricultural and roads & highways is significantly increasing. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPORT

Growth Drivers

Significant Demand in Infrastructure, Irrigation and Waste Management Projects to Boost the Market Growth

According to Geosynthetic Materials Association, geosynthetics are used in various applications such as roads and pavements, subsurface drainage, erosion and sediment control and seepage control systems.

The geosynthetics are widely used in huge projects to enhance civic amenities like infrastructure, environmental and transportation projects owing to its excellent material properties such as chemical and thermal resistivity, weatherability, stability, strength, and durability. Additionally, they are also used immensely in various applications such as mining and waste management and any other type containment facilities where they serve as a barrier from waste containment. Further, the market growth is attributed to ability of geosynthetics to provide reinforcement to the soil for preventing erosion and control seepage losses in irrigation projects. These factors are anticipated to significantly expand the geosynthetics market.

Supportive Government Regulations

The presence of government initiatives and regulations imposed on the usage of geosynthetics is anticipated to boost the market growth. Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) has mandated the application of geosynthetics in landfills and enforcement of lining coal ash sites.

Focus on Uplifting Small-Scale Fabric Industry to Drive the Market

Global geosynthetic products are gaining high demand owing to the leading woven and non-woven textile producing countries facilitating trade with major infrastructure developing countries. On the back of these, the geosynthetics market is predicted to grow over the forecast period.

Restraints

Price Volatility of Raw Materials to Hamper the Market Growth

Despite wide-scale application of geosynthetics, there is a large volatility in prices of raw material owing to their existence in downstream products of petrochemicals. This is estimated to hinder the growth of geosynthetics market in the future.
