The North American geosynthetics market size was US$ 1.49 billion Square Meters in 2023 and is likely to grow at a decent CAGR of 2.4% (by area) in the long run to reach 1.75 billion Square Meters by 2030'.
In September 2023, Titan Environmental Containment acquired Hewitt Geosynthetics to expand its presence and customer base in the Greater Toronto Area.
In June 2021, Solmax International, Inc. acquired TenCate and became the global leader in the geosynthetics market.
In March 2021, Solmax International, Inc. acquired Propex to expand its product portfolio by adding environmental containment and civil infrastructure sectors.
Due to huge investments in road infrastructure projects, roads and other trafficked areas and asphalt reinforcement is expected to remain dominant, whereas solid waste disposal will grow at the fastest rate in the market during the forecast period.
The United States boasts the largest road network in the world, spanning an impressive 6,803,479 kilometers, necessitating regular maintenance and upgrades. The scale of the country's road infrastructure demands a comprehensive and ongoing approach to ensure the safety and efficiency of the transportation system.
The rapid expansion in the application of geosynthetics for solid waste disposal is primarily attributable to the stringent environmental standards that are in place in high-income countries, such as the United States and Canada. The increasing demand for geosynthetics in these countries is a result of the need to comply with the regulatory requirements that mandate the use of advanced technologies to manage waste disposal.
During the forecast period, separation & filtration is expected to remain the dominant functions of geosynthetics in the market. This is due to their effective ability to filter impurities and prevent soil erosion in civil engineering applications. Such functions are critical for environmental protection and water management.
The geosynthetics market is experiencing rapid growth in the drainage segment due to increasing demand for advanced water management solutions in construction projects in the region.
Nonwoven geosynthetics are projected to maintain their dominance in the market during the forecast period. This is due to their cost-effectiveness and their widespread use in filtration, separation, and drainage applications. They are primarily used for slope protection along river, sea, and lake embankments, land reclamation, wharf construction, ship lock flood control, and rescue projects.
The composites are expected to experience rapid growth in demand as it provides additional specific properties like protection, drainage, or filtration due to the bonding of two or more different geosynthetics.
Polypropylene is expected to remain the preferred choice for geosynthetics in the market during the forecast period.
Polypropylene is the predominant material for geotextile production, accounting for a mammoth share of the market. This is due to its exceptional moisture and biological resistance, along with its superior installation survivability and lifespan prediction.
The USA's dominant position in the civil infrastructure industry is significantly bolstered by several key factors including roads, highways, railways, airports, and water management systems. The USA alone accounted for over half of global geomembrane sales.
Mexico, particularly driven by growing investment in infrastructure projects by multinational companies, is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
