Geosynthetics Market Outlook - 2030
The global geosynthetics market size was valued at $13.2 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $37.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2021 to 2030.
Geosynthetics constitutes natural or polymeric material used with soil, rock or any other related building materials. Various types of geosynthetics are developed and produced globally. Geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geocells, geomembranes, and geocomposites are some of the major types of geosynthetics.
The global geosynthetics market is expected to witness increased demand during the forecast period, majorly due to its demand from the wastewater and global infrastructure sectors. Expansion of highways and roadways will spike the demand for geosynthetics. In addition to the construction sector, the commissioning of new energy entities will boost the demand for geosynthetic materials. Geosynthetics have found a variety of applications such as reinforce soil walls in bridges, flyovers, roads and highways; drainage and erosion control in waste water treatment plants; landslide prevention and more. When used with the local sub graded soil, it significantly reduces the carbon footprint by 30%. Some of the major advantages of using geosynthetics include reduction in structural maintenance and increase in its shelf life. Geosynthetics have excellent flexibility and filtration characteristics that have enabled it to be used in a variety of applications. In addition, the quality of the material can be controlled as per the requirement, due to which prices can be controlled. The transportation sector is one of the biggest end-use areas of geosynthetic materials and will drive the growth of the geosynthetics market size significantly in the future. All the above factors drive the global geosynthetics market.
The opportunities for geosynthetics in energy sector are also endless, namely from the oil, gas as well as nuclear energy. Due to increasing energy demand, more power plants will be commissioned in the coming years, thus making use of geosynthetic materials for soil stabilization and leakage protection. Moreover, geosynthetics are known to increase the lifespan of the structure and reduce maintenance costs over the longer run. Both these factors contribute to the cost effectiveness of geosynthetic materials, thus driving the market growth during the forecast period.
However, the prices of petroleum greatly influence the prices of synthetic fiber, thereby controlling the final price of geosynthetic materials. Rising crude oil prices will drive up petrochemical costs, in turn, increasing the price of plastics. Thus, any fluctuation in the crude oil prices will negatively impact the price of geosynthetics, this could hamper the global geosynthetics market growth during the forecast period. Geosynthetics majorly use plastics such as Polypropylene, Polyester, and Polyethylene. A shift toward recycled plastic will open a fresh product offering among various key players. For instance, Huesker has a line of geosynthetics based on recycled raw material. More such product developments will increase the sustainability of the market in the long run.
