According to the report, the global geosynthetics industry was estimated at $13.2 billion in 2020, and is anticipated to hit $37.9 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.2% from 2021 to 2030.

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities-

Rise in demand for geosynthetics in the transportation and energy sector and cost-effectiveness of the product drive the growth of the global geosynthetics market. On the other hand, volatility in petrochemical prices restrains the growth to some extent. However, surge in demand for sustainable products in developing economies is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the industry.

The geomembranes segment to dominate by 2030-

Based on type, the geomembranes segment accounted for around two-fifths of the global geosynthetics market share in 2020, and is expected to lead the trail by the end of 2030, due to its extensive use in various end use applications. The geogrids segment, on the other hand, would cite the fastest CAGR of 12.1% from 2021 to 2030.

The water/wastewater management segment to maintain the dominant share-

Based on application, the water/wastewater management segment contributed to around two-fifths of the global geosynthetics market revenue in 2020, and is projected to dominate by 2030. This is attributed to the fact that the demand for wastewater is more likely to increase in the future owing to increasing population and industrialization. The energy segment, however, would grow at the fastest CAGR of 13.0% from 2021 to 2030. As renewable energy sites expand across the globe, the demand for geosynthetics is also expected to increase to a significant extent. This factor propels the segment growth.

Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, garnered the major share in 2020-

Based on geography, Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, garnered the highest share in 2020, holding more than one-third of the global geosynthetics market. The same region would also showcase the fastest CAGR of 13.3% during the forecast period. This is because factors such as rising construction and infrastructural developments in China and India have increased the demand for geosynthetics in the province.
