KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
The waterproofing chemicals market was valued at USD 30.8 Bn in 2021. The market is projected to grow USD 79.3 Bn in 2028, at a CAGR of 7.5%. Waterproofing is a process which prevents products or properties from the effects of water while also providing a chemical and corrosion barrier. Waterproofing chemicals are a blend of different chemical compounds that are used to make a product more resistant to leaking and longer lasting. These compounds are used in products such as cement, plastics, colors, inks, paints, mortar, and detergents as additives and admixtures. Polyethylene, polyurethanes, polysulfide sealants, elastomeric coatings, and acrylic polymer are some of the most often utilized waterproofing compounds. Waterproofing chemicals are employed in a variety of technologies, including membranes, coatings, and integrated systems, among others. The waterproofing chemicals industry is rapidly expanding, and the product's cost effectiveness is driving the market. The need for waterproofing chemicals from end users grows as the construction quality increases. Furthermore, the waterproofing chemicals industry is driven by cost-effectiveness. Waterproofing chemicals are used for a variety of purposes, the most common of which is to prevent seepage and leakage caused by water and moisture. The construction industry is on the rise as a result of rapidly rising urbanization and industrialization around the world, which is projected to enhance demand for waterproofing chemicals.
COVID-19 ANALYSIS
The global waterproofing chemicals market is negatively impacted with the outbreak of COVID-19. The outbreak's consequences and impact are expected to intensify in the coming months as the virus spreads. Supply chain interruptions, logistical constraints, personnel unavailability, limited component availability, a decline in demand, insufficient liquidity, and consequent industry shutdowns were all experienced by the industry. During the pandemic, raw material providers and other operational requirements were driven to reconsider their strategy for catering to the industry and waterproofing members. The outbreak of COVID-19 has forced governments around the world to deploy severe rules such as lockdown, temporary shutdown, social distancing, caused disruption in production of raw materials and in turn increased costing of raw materials. Shipments of raw materials, as well as revenue produced have fallen. Furthermore, insufficient raw material supply will limit the rate of waterproofing chemicals, influencing the management of the waterproofing chemicals supply chain. This chain of occurrences is expected to have a negative influence on the growth of the waterproofing chemicals market in the future years.
