By Material
PVC is projected as the most lucrative segment.
By material, the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) segment held the largest U.S. waterstop market share in 2019. This is attributed to rise in demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waterstops from construction structures such as walls, tunnels, water tanks, dams, and other structures. In addition, increase in building and construction of transport infrastructure, marine infrastructure, and water infrastructure is anticipated to fuel the growth of the U.S. waterstop market during the forecast period.
By Application
Water tanks holds a dominant position in 2019 and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the water tanks segment dominated the U.S. waterstop market in 2019, in terms of share, owing to rise in building & construction of water infrastructures including water treatment plants, swimming pools, dams, municipal water tanks, and other water structures. Moreover, rise in demand for water in end-uses such as residential, commercial and industrial is expected to increase demand for storing water which in turn is projected to fuel the growth of the waterstop market in the upcoming years.
By End Use
Commercial is projected as the most lucrative segment.
By end use, the commercial segment dominated the highest share in the U.S. waterstop market in 2019, and is expected to maintain the same during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in investment toward building transport infrastructure, water treatment plants, fuel terminals, and other commercial infrastructure. In addition, rapid urbanization owing to rise in population resulted in increase in demand for commercial and public facilities, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for waterstops during the forecast period.
COVID-19 impact on the market
Lockdown imposed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in temporary ban on the import and export; thereby, disrupting the supply chain and hampering the waterstop market growth in the second, third, and fourth quarter of 2020. However, the market is expected to recover in the late year or by the first quarter of 2021 as the production of waterstop and building & construction activities in the country begins.
