Construction is a high-risk industry that includes a wide range of activities, from infrastructure development to renovation that includes residential construction, bridge construction, road paving, and large-scale re-roofing jobs. The increase in these construction activities is creating additional demand in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan for waterproofing chemicals. For instance, in 2019, China approved to invest $142 billion in 26 infrastructure projects. In addition, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India plans to spend US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure in the next five years. Furthermore, the United States is witnessing noticeable investment for residential construction, and the trend is expected to remain the same in the near future. For instance, according to U.S Census bureau, in January 2020 value of construction put in place in residential and nonresidential construction increased to $567,555 million and $470,986 million from $546,532 million and $466,436 million in December 2019. Mexico is also witnessing high housing demand, therefore attracting noticeable investment into construction. For instance, In January 2019, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) granted local currency financing program to the Mexican company Procsa up to 150 million Mexican pesos ($7.8 million), in order to finance for land acquisition, development and commercialization of housing for low and middle income families in the country. Government initiatives in countries such as the U.K., France, Germany, U.S., India, and China for clean groundwater and landfilling have had a radical impact on market growth over the past few years. The development of waterproofing chemical composites with improved self-adhesion and longevity is estimated to have immense future growth prospects for this market.

However, volatile raw material prices which are heavily dependent on petrochemical demand and supply is anticipated to hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period. Market participants have been continuously focusing on commercializing biological routes for developing environment-friendly waterproofing chemicals.

These chemicals also find application in the textile and fabric industry for large scale production of waterproof and breathable fabrics which is expected to open new growth avenues in the forthcoming years. Furthermore, increasing applications in geomembranes, water management, and tunnel liners are expected to drive the waterproofing chemicals market.

Therefore, the growth in construction projects and investments, is driving waterproofing chemicals market growth. Therefore, such me has enhanced the Waterproofing Chemicals market CAGR across the globe in the recent years.

However, increasing awareness regarding the importance of waterproofing products in construction in developing regions is another factor driving the growth of the Waterproofing Chemicals market revenue.
