In 2022 & 2023, market players expected to sail in rough waters; might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain. Further, U.S. economy is expected to grow merely by 3% in 2022. Purchasing power in the country is expected to fell nearly by 2.5%.
On the other hand, European countries to see the worst coming in the form of energy crisis especially in upcoming winters!! Right after COVID-19, inflation has started gripping the economies across the globe. Higher than anticipated inflation, especially in western world had raised concerns for national banks and financial institutions to control the economic loss and safeguard the interest of the businesses. Increased interest rates, strong USD inflated oil prices, looming prices for gas and energy resources due to Ukraine-Russia conflict, China economic slowdown (~4% in 2022) disrupting the production and global supply chain and other factors would impact each industry negatively.
July 2019: As per Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), Huesker launched the world’s first geogrid made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the company is focusing on more environmentally friendly solutions such as use of innovative products and applications made of 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our in-depth analysis of the geosynthetics market includes the following segments:
On the basis of regional analysis, the geosynthetics market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.
The market for geosynthetics in Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share in the market on account of presence of leading market players in the region which manufacture and market geosynthetics. Moreover, the huge investments in construction industry in this region along with the favorable government policies for boosting infrastructural development, especially in countries such as India and China further increase the product demand. The market in Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period as a result of increasing demand of geosynthetics by public infrastructure, renewable energy, and commercial projects associated with civil transportation and waste management. Additionally, offering cost-effective products by the manufactures in this region combined with the growing demand for soil reinforcement in foundation work of residential buildings further raise the demand for geosynthetics.
The geosynthetics market is further classified on the basis of region as follows:
