Waterproofing Chemicals Market Size, Share, Growth & Trends 2028

Waterproofing Chemicals Market Size And Industry Analysis

The global waterproofing chemicals market size was worth around USD 30.58 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 59.4 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 11.7% between 2022 and 2028.

The report analyzes the drivers of the global waterproofing chemicals market, restraints/challenges, and the effects they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the waterproofing chemicals industry.

Waterproofing chemicals increase the life of any infrastructure work. Moreover, it prevents water penetration or water leakage, which can be acquired with the help of waterproofing chemicals. Water penetration causes electrical and metal hazards along with the decreased life of any big infrastructure.

Rising demand from developing countries and the growing quality of construction are expected to drive the global waterproofing chemicals market. However, sluggish construction sector growth in Europe is anticipated to impede the growth of the market. Nevertheless, rising construction in developing countries and the need for water management in the Asia Pacific are likely to open new opportunities for the market of global waterproofing chemicals within the years to come.

Waterproofing Chemicals Market: Overview

Waterproofing Chemicals have found a wide scope of application in the construction industry across the world as the need for better infrastructure bolsters on a global scale and this trend is anticipated to propel waterproofing chemicals market potential over the forecast period.
