Liquid Applied Membranes for Construction: Introduction
·
Liquid applied membranes is a low viscosity liquid-based coating
generally applied over various substrates including asphalt, bitumen, and
concrete. Liquid applied membranes provide a coating that cures to form a
rubber-like elastomeric waterproof membranes.
·
It is cost-effective solution, especially for repair and
renovation of exposed roofs. Liquid applied membranes fill the gaps &
cracks in a substrate. They are primarily used for waterproofing and roofing
applications. Application of this product is not only limited to roofing but
also for waterproofing of basements, roads, terraces, podiums, bridge decks,
etc.
·
Based on coating type, the global liquid applied membranes
market can be segmented into polyurethane, polyurea, epoxy, acrylic and others
Key
Drivers of Liquid Applied Membranes for Construction Market
·
Liquid applied membranes are extensively utilized for renovation
activities, as compared to that in new construction. Usage of low quality
construction material in the past coupled by poor maintenance of buildings is
fueling the demand for repair & rehabilitation, which can be resolved by
liquid applied membranes. According to an article published by Forbes, 80% of
the 137 million homes in the U.S. are currently at least 20 years old, and 40%
are at least 50 years old. Cost of renovation & repair of houses is
considerably less as compared to that of buying new houses. These factors are
likely to augment the demand for liquid applied membranes for construction in
the next few years.
·
The construction industry in countries in the Middle East and
Japan has witnessed expansion at a rapid pace owing to increase in its
construction activities for global events such as FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar,
World EXPO 2020 in Dubai, and Olympics 2021 in Japan. Rapid expansion of the
construction industry in GCC can be ascribed to the Government of Saudi
Arabia’s increased focus on repair, renovation, and construction of commercial
buildings and infrastructure to boost tourism in the country. Construction of
hotels has increased in the sub-region to cater to the need for affordable
homes for tourists of all over the world while attending such events. This is
estimated to also fuel the demand for construction materials, thereby driving
the liquid
applied membranes for construction market in the GCC sub-region
during the forecast period.
·
Demand for housing has been increasing year-on-year in India and
China owing to a rise in the population of these countries. Governments of
several countries such as China, India, Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and
Vietnam have launched schemes to provide homes for their lower income citizens.
In 2015, the Government of India launched its affordable housing scheme called
“Housing for All by 2022” with an overall objective of providing a) housing for
slum dwellers with participation of private developers using land as a
resource, b) promoting affordable housing for weaker sections through
credit-linked subsidy, c) focusing on partnership with public & private
sector for affordable housing, and d) providing subsidy for house construction
or enhancement. These schemes or strategies are estimated to propel liquid
applied membranes for construction market.
Key
Restraint of Liquid Applied Membranes for Construction Market
·
In low-income countries, coal tar is utilized for waterproofing
applications on roofs and roads owing to its low cost, as compared to that of
polyurethane or polyurea coating. This can hamper the liquid applied membranes
for construction market. However, exposure to toxic fumes released from coal
tar can be harmful to human health.

Covid-19
Impact on Liquid Applied Membranes for Construction Market
·
The COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact on construction
industry. The construction industry is witnessing supply chain disruptions due
to factory closures and transportation restrictions. Several countries such as
China and India imposed lockdowns during the first half of the year to contain
the pandemic, thereby restricting the movement of people and gatherings. The
restrictions put in place by governments have halted all construction activity
and most of the business activity across their respective countries. However,
several governments have started to ease lockdown restrictions on construction
activities. This is expected to revive the overall construction industry in the
second half of the year.

Liquid Applied Membranes for Construction Market: Regional Outlook
·
In terms of geography, the liquid applied membranes for
construction market in Asia Pacific has been expanding at a considerable pace
owing to the increasing investment in infrastructure development by countries
such as China and India. In 2019, National Development and Reform Commission of
the People's Republic of China approved 26 infrastructure projects with total
expected investment of US$ 142 Bn. The Government of China plans to diversify
its economy by building infrastructure projects in all provinces of the country
in order to counter the country’s slowing economy growth owing to its
dependence on exports and the manufacturing sector. This rise in construction
activities in China is boosting the construction industry and subsequently,
fueling the demand for high strength concrete as construction material. Asia
Pacific is followed by North America & Europe, in terms of share of the
global market. Increasing immigrants and rising income of millennials in these
regions is boosting the demand of new homes or repair of existing homes in
North America and Europe.
