Liquid Applied Membranes Market Report 2026

The liquid applied membranes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.42 billion in 2025 to $21.99 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial construction projects, expansion of urban infrastructure development, increasing demand for building waterproofing, rising renovation and reroofing activities, availability of advanced polymer-based coatings.

The liquid applied membranes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in green building projects, rising adoption of long-life waterproofing systems, expansion of infrastructure rehabilitation programs, growing focus on sustainable construction materials, increasing use of smart building envelopes. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of seamless waterproofing solutions, rising use of spray-applied membrane systems, growing demand for durable roofing coatings, expansion of below-grade waterproofing applications, enhanced focus on crack-bridging performance.

Rising construction activity in the residential and commercial sectors is expected to drive the growth of the liquid-applied membrane market in the coming years. Residential construction involves building homes and other living spaces, while commercial construction focuses on structures designed for business purposes. Liquid-applied membranes are widely used for waterproofing, enhancing the durability and integrity of construction systems. For example, in June 2024, TST Europe AG, a Switzerland-based non-governmental organization, reported that total construction spending in the U.S. reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, reflecting a 7.4% increase from the previous year, with approximately 745,000 construction businesses operating in the country. Therefore, increasing construction in residential and commercial sectors is supporting the liquid-applied membrane market.

Leading companies in the liquid-applied membranes market are focusing on developing advanced waterproofing solutions to improve building durability and energy efficiency. These solutions use innovative materials and techniques to create effective barriers against water intrusion, providing long-lasting protection for structures. For instance, in July 2023, Mapei, an Italy-based company specializing in adhesives, sealants, and chemical products for construction, launched Polylastic Water-Based Bitumen. This liquid-applied membrane combines bitumen with advanced polymer technology to create a flexible and durable waterproofing solution suitable for various surfaces. It offers excellent adhesion and water resistance while remaining environmentally friendly due to its water-based formulation. The product is particularly effective for protecting roofs, foundations, and other structures from moisture damage, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

In July 2023, Saint-Gobain, a France-based global leader in sustainable construction and building materials, acquired Menkol Industries Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Saint-Gobain to expand its adhesives business in India, strengthen its solutions portfolio for the construction and infrastructure sectors, accelerate growth in high-performance materials, and enhance its presence in the rapidly growing South Asian market. Menkol Industries Pvt. Ltd., based in India, manufactures liquid-applied membranes.

Major companies operating in the liquid applied membranes market are Sika, BASF, Mapei, Ardex Group, Fosroc, RPM International, Carlisle Companies, Soprema, Tremco CPG, MBCC Group, Pidilite Industries, GAF, Johns Manville, Dow, Saint-Gobain, Henkel, Wacker Chemie, Berger Paints, Asian Paints, Jotun.
