The global cementitious waterproofing market size was valued at USD 1.52 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 3.74 billion by 2026 with an estimated CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
Cementitious waterproofing is a method of construction that ensures the safety and durability of buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. It's done by applying cement-based compounds to watertight surfaces in order to protect them from moisture intrusion or penetration due to natural causes such as rainfall, runoff, or groundwater seepage.
On the basis of types, the market is segmented into cementitious waterproofing, liquid waterproofing membrane, bituminous membrane, bituminous coating, and polyurethane liquid membrane.
Liquid waterproofing membranes are thin, membrane-type films that provide protection against water ingress by forming a barrier on the surface of the concrete. A liquid membrane can be applied to either horizontal or vertical surfaces and is usually sprayed or rolled onto the substrate.
Bituminous membranes are liquid, membrane-type films that provide protection against water ingress by forming a barrier on the surface of the concrete. A bituminous membrane is usually sprayed or rolled onto the substrate and then coated with an asphalt emulsion to protect it from UV radiation damage. Liquid waterproofing membranes have certain advantages over other types.
The bituminous coating is a waterproofing solution for porous surfaces such as concrete, mortar, and brick. It is also used to seal the surface of steel tanks or vats against chemicals, water vapor, and air ingress at temperatures up to about 100°C.
Polyurethane liquid membranes are a type of bituminous coating that often overlays the surface to waterproof it. It is typically applied in an epoxy-type polymer and as such, can be used for sealing cracks or leaks during construction phases rather than waiting until after finishing work has been completed.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into water treatment plants, bridges, tunnels, dams, railway and subway systems, sewage treatment plants, marine cargo docks and ports, parking structures, and others.
Water treatment plants use cementitious waterproofing for the construction of their tanks and reservoirs. Cementitious water sealing is also used in the process of water purification, such as filtration or clarification. In this case, it prevents contamination by external factors like dust and dirt that can lead to various biological problems in the treated waters. Cementitious sealant not only blocks any moisture from entering into the tank but also seals cracks that may let contaminants enter through them.
Cementitious waterproofing is also used in the construction of bridges. This type of sealant helps to fill any gaps that may exist between bricks and stones, providing a more watertight layer on top than other types of coatings or adhesives usually do. This technique also increases resistance against differential settlement by shrinking during drying preventing movement at the junction points where it was applied.
Bridges will often use this type of cementitious waterproofing because they are constantly subjected to changeable weather conditions which can cause moisture penetration into their seams through cracks caused by extreme temperature differences. Additionally, as these structures age, metal corrosion occurs from acid raindrops hitting them with enough force to loosen joints and different components within the bridge itself.
Cementitious waterproofing is often used in tunnels to prevent the seepage of water that can lead to flooding and structural damage. Cementitious layers are typically installed during construction; however, they must be redone periodically as a result of aging cement and exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Cementitious waterproofing is also used within dams to avoid water seepage, which can lead to structural failures. Dam construction requires the installation of a cementitious layer in order for it to withstand hydrostatic pressure and deformation forces from its own weight as well as that of any additional additions such as snowpack or heavy rainfalls.
The use of cementitious waterproofing in railway and subway systems has become a popular trend among governments around the world. This type of application is necessary to avoid water seepage, which can lead to flooding and structural damage due to hydrostatic pressure on rails as well as any steel reinforcements.
The use of cementitious waterproofing in sewage treatment plants has been a common practice for decades. This type of application is needed to prevent the buildup and discharge of untreated wastewater into rivers, streams, or other water bodies which would pose significant health risks to not only humans but also animals.
In the marine cargo docks and ports, cementitious waterproofing is used in a number of applications. The most important application for the use of these materials will be its use as ballast tanks lining for water transport vessels where all liquid leaks or spills can be dealt with effectively with this material.
The use of cementitious waterproofing in parking structures is a growing trend. Cementitious waterproofing can be applied to both new structures or existing ones that require renovation or repair work. This process involves injecting cement-based materials under high pressure into cracks caused by water seepage from rainstorms etc., which strengthens the surface coatings on walls, ceilings, floors, columns, beams, and other elements within the structure’s foundation so they are better able to withstand wear over time. It also provides additional protection against flooding during extreme weather events such as hurricanes and blizzards.
One major factor driving this growth is an increasing demand for construction and renovation projects across various industries, which in turn will lead to higher adoption rates of cementitious waterproofing products and technologies. Another key driver fueling this growth are strict regulations imposed by governments on organizations in order to comply with environmental standards – such as those issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its Clean Water Act program that has led many companies to adopt new techniques such as liquid membrane coating or bituminous membranes.
