This Geosynthetics market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The geosynthetics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.7 billion in 2024 to $14.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development, environmental regulations, urbanization, landfill construction, mining and oil & gas.
The geosynthetics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change resilience, waste management and recycling, infrastructure resilience, water and wastewater treatment, coastal protection. Major trends in the forecast period include geosynthetic reinforcement for roadways, geosynthetic liners in landfills, geotextiles in agriculture, advanced geocomposite technologies, sustainable material innovations.
The expansion of the construction industry is a significant contributor to the growth of the geosynthetics market. Given the construction sector's involvement in building and repairing structures, geosynthetics play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of factory-manufactured construction products. They offer a cost-effective solution for various functions, including separation, filtration, reinforcement, drainage, waterproofing, erosion control, containment, and protection. As per data from the Indian Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the construction sector is projected to experience double-digit growth at 10.7% in 2022. Consequently, the upswing in the construction industry is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the geosynthetics market in the foreseeable future.
The escalating awareness surrounding plastic management is closely intertwined with the demand for geosynthetics in waste management, fostering market growth. Public awareness campaigns, aimed at engaging and educating local communities on plastic waste, can influence community action and consumer choices. A case in point is the initiative launched by The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change in India in June 2021, which focused on raising awareness against the use of single-use plastics. This campaign aligns with the government's commitment to phasing out identified single-use plastic items with low utility and high adverse environmental impact. Additionally, in February 2022, The Coca-Cola Company set ambitious goals, including having at least 25% of all its beverages sold in reusable containers by 2030 and using 50% recycled materials in its packaging. These initiatives contribute to increased demand for waste management, consequently driving the demand for geosynthetic materials.
Strategic partnerships and collaborations are emerging as a prominent trend in the geosynthetics market, with major companies leveraging such alliances to strengthen their market leadership. A notable example is the acquisition carried out by Commercial Metals Co in April 2022, where the US-based steel and metal manufacturer acquired Tensar International Corp for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aligns with Commercial Metals Co's objective to enhance its leadership in construction reinforcement by incorporating value-added products that complement its existing offerings. Tensar Corporation, the acquired entity, is a US-based manufacturer renowned for its proven geosynthetic products.
Companies in the geosynthetics market are actively venturing into the development and launch of monitoring apps for geosynthetic materials. These applications serve as convenient, on-demand platforms offering information on specification requirements and site inspection guidance related to various functions such as walls, slopes, pavements, erosion control, and more. A notable example is the Geosynthetic Installation Notes Tracker Mobile Application introduced by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in December 2022. This mobile app encompasses features such as specification requirements and site inspection guidance for a range of functions in road construction, providing accessible and instant information on the types and functions of geosynthetic materials. The introduction of such apps is anticipated to enhance the quality of factory-manufactured construction products by offering cost-effective solutions for functions like separation, filtration, reinforcement, drainage, waterproofing, erosion control, containment, and protection. These apps are instrumental in facilitating proper installation and monitoring of geosynthetics materials, ultimately contributing to improved performance and longevity.
In April 2022, Commercial Metals Company (CMC), a US-based manufacturer of rebar and related products for the construction sector, acquired Tensar Corporation for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition strategically positions CMC to capitalize on forthcoming infrastructure investments and the increasing demand for sustainable construction solutions worldwide. Tensar Corporation is recognized as a US-based leader in geogrid engineered solutions for civil construction.
