Driver: Increased mining activities in APAC and South America Rapid industrialization and urbanization in key countries such as China and India have spurred the demand for metals and minerals in the past few years. Other countries in APAC that have attracted significant mining investments include Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Mongolia, and Indonesia. South America is also a high-growth region for the mining industry. It has become a preferred destination for mining investments by major global mining companies. Key countries such as Brazil, Peru, and Chile have large mining capacities and have witnessed increased investments from foreign companies over the past five years. The mining industry is one of the major consumers of geomembranes. Geomembranes are used to help recapture and recycle the harmful chemicals being used in solution to treat ponds and secondary containment applications. This is expected to drive the geomembranes market during the forecast period.
Restrain: Fluctuating raw material prices on account of volatility in crude oil prices Volatility in crude oil prices is one of the major restraining factor for geomembranes manufacturers. Most raw materials for geomembranes are petroleum-based and are vulnerable to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The rise or fall in crude oil prices directly impacts the price of the raw materials required for geomembranes. Manufacturers have to cope with high and volatile raw material costs, which reduce their profit margins. This scenario has compelled market players to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their operations to sustain growth and retain market share.
Opportunity: Increasing spending on infrastructure development Infrastructure development includes creating water supply and treatment plants, roads, tunnels, dams, railways, airports, bridges, telecommunication networks, schools, and hospitals. According to the Confederation of International Contractors’ Associations (CICA), the output for residential and non-residential (including commercial, industrial, and others) infrastructures will grow by 85%, in terms of volume, to reach USD 15.5 trillion by 2030. There are a multitude of applications for geomembranes within construction sector.. The long shelf-life along with good physical & mechanical properties of geomembranes will work in favor of the market. Thus, growing infrastructural developments, are expected to create growth opportunities for the geomembranes market during the forecast period. Based on region, the geomembranes market has been segmented into APAC, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. North America geomembranes market was the largest market in 2019. Market growth is primarily due to enormous potential in mining, wastewater management, and infrastructural activities in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Europe North America was the second-largest market for geomembranes owing to well-established manufacturing and construction sector of the region. Major vendors in the geomembranes market include Solmax (Canada), Raven Industries (US), AGRU (Austria), Carlisle Construction Materials LLC (US), Atarfil (Spain), PLASTIKA KRITIS (Greece), JUTA (Czech Republic), Maccaferri (Italy), Firestone Building Products (US), The NAUE group (Germany), Anhui Huifeng New Synthetic Materials (China), Carthage Mills (US), Environmental Protection (US), Geofabrics (Australia), Geosynthetics Limited (UK), Ginegar Plastic Products (Israel), Global Synthetics (Australia), Layfield Group (Canada), CETCO (US), Nilex (Canada), SOTRAFA (Spain), SOPREMA (France), Texel Industries Limited (India), Titan Environmental Containment (Canada), and US Fabrics (US).
