Geotextile Tubes Market Report 2026

The geotextile tubes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.02 billion in 2025 to $5.75 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing coastal erosion challenges, expansion of wastewater treatment infrastructure, rising use of geotextiles in marine engineering, growth of dredging activities, adoption of soft coastal defense solutions.

The geotextile tubes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in climate-resilient coastal infrastructure, rising demand for sustainable erosion control systems, expansion of aquaculture and marine projects, growing focus on reusable geotextile solutions, increasing adoption in flood control projects. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of geotextile tubes for coastal protection, rising demand for dewatering applications, growing adoption in shoreline stabilization projects, expansion of high-strength woven tube designs, enhanced focus on long-term environmental protection.

The increasing pace of infrastructure development is expected to drive the growth of the geotextile tubes market going forward. Geotextile tubes are widely used for applications such as soil stabilization, erosion control, sediment containment, retaining structures, and flood protection. These solutions offer cost efficiency, long service life, and alignment with environmental regulations, making them a critical element in contemporary infrastructure projects. For example, in July 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government department, total general government investment in infrastructure rose by 2.2% in 2024 to $38.54 billion (£28.9 billion) at current prices compared with 2023. Therefore, rising infrastructure development is contributing to the expansion of the geotextile tubes market.

Leading companies operating in the geotextile tubes market are concentrating on the development of advanced solutions, such as eco-friendly geosynthetic systems, to replace conventional aggregate ballast covers. Eco-friendly solutions refer to sustainable technologies or practices that reduce environmental impact by conserving resources, lowering pollution, and supporting ecological balance. For instance, in October 2024, HUESKER Synthetic GmbH, a Germany-based geosynthetics manufacturer, introduced the SoilTain Protect geotextile system for the global mining industry. This innovation replaces traditional aggregate covers with a geosynthetic ballast mattress made of interwoven geotextile tubes that can be filled with on-site soils or waste materials, reducing material usage and construction risks. The system enhances liner protection, enables the reuse of site materials, simplifies installation, and improves safety and environmental performance. Integrated into mining operations, SoilTain Protect supports faster installation, minimizes the need for heavy equipment on primary geomembranes, and protects the environmental integrity of mining sites.

In February 2025, Propex Operating Company LLC, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Tuflex India for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Propex Geosynthetics aimed to expand its nonwoven geotextile production capacity in South Asia to address growing demand for erosion control solutions. Tuflex India is an India-based manufacturer specializing in nonwoven geotextiles for erosion control and other geosynthetic applications.

Major companies operating in the geotextile tubes market are TenCate Geosynthetics, Maccaferri, Solmax, Huesker, Terram, Taian Modern, Global Synthetics, JUTA, Polyfabrics, HPI Geosynthetics, Contech Engineered Solutions, ACE Geosynthetics, Kaytech, Strata Systems, NAUE, Fibertex, BontexGeo, SKAPS Industries, Tencate Polyfelt, Thrace Group.
