Waterproofing Membranes Market Forecasts: $32Bn by 2031, Says Mordor Intelligence Report

HYDERABAD, India, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest insights from Mordor Intelligence, the global waterproofing membranes market value increasing from USD 23.36 billion in 2025 to approximately USD 24.63 billion in 2026, and is projected to reach nearly USD 32.11 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of approximately 5.45% during the forecast period.

Rising urban construction, stricter building energy regulations, and large-scale infrastructure upgrades are driving consistent demand across residential, commercial, and public projects. Since waterproofing is essential for protecting structures from water damage, demand remains resilient even during economic slowdowns. Trends such as modular buildings, metro rail expansion, and green roofing are shifting usage patterns, while faster-to-install liquid-applied systems are gaining preference.

Emerging Developments & Trends

Expansion of Metro and Tunnel Networks

The rapid development of underground transport infrastructure is increasing the need for heavy-duty waterproofing designed to handle pressure, movement, and long service lives. Such projects favor proven membrane technologies backed by technical support and long-term warranties, helping suppliers build stable, service-driven revenue streams.

Rising Adoption of Green Roof Programs

Incentives promoting vegetated roofs are creating new opportunities for specialized waterproofing solutions. These applications require membranes that can withstand constant moisture, root growth, and complex roof designs. As a result, flexible and chemically resistant systems are gaining traction, offering suppliers better margins and scope for innovation.

Accelerated City Growth and Infrastructure Expansion

Fast-growing cities are driving stronger demand for advanced waterproofing as underground transport systems, high-rise complexes, and mixed-use developments expand. Large public projects increasingly specify durable, multi-layer membrane systems to protect below-ground structures, where long-term performance and safety are critical. Extended project lifecycles and maintenance obligations further push developers toward high-quality solutions.
