Liquid-applied membranes (LAM) are liquid-based coatings that are fully bonded and monolithic, making them ideal for a variety of waterproofing and roofing applications. The coating can be put on a variety of substrates, such as asphalt, bitumen, concrete and when it cures, it forms an elastomeric waterproof membrane with a rubber-like texture.
The liquid applied membranes market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships), of liquid applied membranes that refer to innovative solutions used in roofing and waterproofing applications. These membranes are cold-applied, single-application materials that form seamless, fully adhered and watertight elastomeric coatings once cured.
The global liquid applied membranes market was valued at $15,011.1 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3.0%.
Stringent Regulations For Energy Efficiency And Building Codes
The stringent regulations for energy efficiency and building codes contributed to the growth of the liquid applied membranes market during the historic period. Stricter rules were implemented globally by governments and regulatory bodies with the goal of enhancing building energy efficiency in order to lower greenhouse gas emissions and slow down global warming. Heat transfer through walls and roofs is decreased by liquid applied membranes, especially those with reflecting coatings, which contribute to increased energy efficiency. By reflecting solar radiation, these membranes reduce the amount of heat that enters buildings and the amount of energy needed for cooling, so they comply with energy efficiency norms and laws. For instance, in February 2022, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) of India published the draft Building Construction Environment Management Regulations, 2022, which govern environment management during building construction. Projects involving the construction of buildings with a construction area of 5,000 m2 or more are subject to the draft regulations. This includes both new building projects and the expansion or repair of existing buildings. Therefore, the stringent regulations for energy efficiency and building codes drove the growth of the liquid applied membranes market during the historic period.
Strategic Collaborations And Acquisitions To Provide Specialized Waterproofing Solutions
Companies in the liquid applied membranes market are focusing on strategic collaborations and acquisitions to strengthen their market position, enhance product offerings and expand their geographic reach. Through these partnerships and acquisitions, companies can take advantage of emerging technologies, integrate complementary skills and reach emerging markets. For instance, in September 2022, Kingspan Group plc, an Ireland-based building materials manufacturing company, acquired Derbigum for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is a strategic fit to strengthen Kingspan Roofing and Waterproofing Division and present both companies with a significant opportunity for growth, increasing their joint product and service offerings. Derbigum is a Belgium-based premium waterproofing membrane manufacturing company for the roofing and waterproofing sectors. Additionally, in April 2022, Pidilite Industries Limited, an India-based adhesives manufacturing company offering adhesives, sealants and construction chemicals, partnered with GCP Applied Technologies Inc., a US-based chemical company offering high-performance specialty construction chemicals and building materials, to offer high-performance waterproofing solutions under the Dr. Fixit brand for difficult sites that are exposed to high temperature variation and water tables. Through this partnership, Pidilite will be able to provide specialized waterproofing solutions through GCP, further enhancing its already extensive product line.
The global liquid applied membranes market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 17.6% of the total market in 2022.
