Geotextile Fabric Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for geotextiles in enhancing road infrastructure in developed and developing nations

Geotextiles are one of the most prominent materials that are used in the construction of roads, highways, bridges, flyovers, and multiple pavements for separation and filtration purposes that serve as an important element in maintaining and enhancing mobility and commuting among people. Thus, geotextiles have rapidly emerged as an excellent solution to counter ground stabilization problems, allow free movement of water, enhance pavement life, control cost, and provide a much better lifespan of roads.

Therefore, geotextiles have become a remarkable alternative for concrete for the future of the road industry in both developed and developing countries across the globe. All these factors are projected to drive the global geotextile fabrics market volume during the forecast period.

Geotextile Fabric Market: Restraints

Irregular changes in the prices of raw materials restrict the growth of the market

Geotextiles are largely manufactured with the help of various synthetic fibers including polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene and even natural fibers be it ramie, jute, or coir. Thus, even a minor change in the demand and supply of raw materials can notably impact the global geotextile market. Besides, the vulnerability of geotextiles to blockage and changes in the prices of crude oil can further hinder the growth of the market.

Geotextile Fabric Market: Opportunities

Growing awareness about the conservation of water especially in manufacturing industries and adoption of bio-based geotextiles to offer lucrative opportunities for the market

Various countries around the globe are facing fierce water scarcity particularly due to climate change and natural phenomena and hence nations are adopting effective several water conservation procedures in various countries to counter the growing problem of water scarcity. In addition, there has been an exponential surge in the adoption of bio-based geotextiles. For instance, jute is widely used as a natural geotextile due to its renewable nature, large availability, high moisture-absorbing capacity, and cost-effectiveness, which makes it an ideal material for numerous applications.

Geotextile Fabric Market: Challenges

Lack of awareness about geotextile in developing countries acts as a challenge for market growth

Decreased use of geotextiles among civil engineers in developing countries due to a lack of technical knowledge, expertise, and notable insight about its properties and application act as a major challenge for the expansion of the global geotextile fabric market.

The Chinese government has undertaken phenomenal investments in futuristic infrastructure projects, which are expected to boost geotextile demand in the country. In India, some of the colossal projects, like Inland Waterways, Rashtriya Rajmarg Zila Sanjoyokta Pariyojna, Bharatmala Project, Sagarmala Project, Setu Bharatam Project, and are being undertaken and efficiently managed that are projected to subsequently drive the demand for geotextiles in the country during the forecast period. In addition, the construction of megacities and increased foreign investments in India and China are further expected to significantly contribute to the economic growth of these nations.

Recent Developments:

• In December 2020, Industrial Plastics, one of Australia’s largest custom plastic fabricators, announced the launch of its new products namely, Geocells and Geotextile underlay fabric under their High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner range. Geotextiles are essentially used as a defensive layer HDPE is used. Thus, it plays a major role in various projects to make sure sharps and rocks do not impale the geomembrane. On the other hand, geocells are pierced structures that are specially created to accommodate granules, soils, and other materials. Therefore, it is extensively used in erosion control and soil stabilization. Industrial Plastics will now supply both Geocell and Geotextile fabric all over Australia from their distribution hubs that are situated in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland.
• In March 2019, Strata Geosystems, a dominant Indian company that provides geotechnical engineering and soil reinforcement solutions, announced that they have opened a new manufacturing facility in Daheli, Gujarat with an aim to target the growing demand for geotextile fabric in the country.
