Pond Liners Market Report 2026

The pond liners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.05 billion in 2025 to $2.23 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing use of traditional waterproofing systems, expansion of aquaculture activities, increased adoption in agricultural irrigation ponds, rising construction of decorative water features, early material innovations in PVC and rubber.

The pond liners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.15 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in sustainable water management, increasing demand for long-lasting liner materials, growth in large-scale infrastructure water projects, development of advanced EPDM and polyurea liners, expanding use of automated installation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced material engineering, rising adoption of eco-friendly liners, increasing demand for high-durability waterproofing solutions, customized liner fabrication for complex pond designs, growing use of liners in large-scale water management projects.

The growing demand for aquaculture is projected to drive the expansion of the pond liners market in the future. Aquaculture involves farming fish, shellfish, algae, and other aquatic organisms in controlled environments to produce food and related products. This demand is fueled by the need for sustainable seafood sources to support a rising global population and alleviate pressure on wild fish stocks. In aquaculture, pond liners create a sealed and durable barrier that prevents water loss, controls algae growth, and maintains optimal conditions for aquatic organisms. For example, the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report from the Food and Agriculture Organization, a U.N. agency, revealed that global aquaculture production reached a record 130.9 million tons in June 2024, with 94.4 million tons being aquatic animals, representing 51% of total aquatic animal production in 2022. Additionally, the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry forecasts a 0.5% increase in the nominal value of Australian fisheries and aquaculture production, projected to reach $3.56 billion in 2023-2024. Aquaculture's share is expected to rise from 60% in 2023-2024 to 64% by 2028-29, with a real value of $2.21 billion. Consequently, the increasing demand for aquaculture will boost the pond liners market.

Leading companies in the pond liners market are focusing on compatible solutions, such as bottom drains, to enhance water management, improve durability, and ensure the efficient operation of aquatic systems. Bottom drains are installed at the lowest point of a pond or water feature to effectively remove debris and sediments, improving water quality and preventing buildup. For instance, in April 2024, Deepwater Koi Innovations LLC, a U.S.-based company specializing in advanced pond solutions, collaborated with Koi Market Aquatic Nursery, which offers comprehensive services for pond enthusiasts, to introduce the Kick-Ass Pond Fittings line. This innovative range includes advanced pond maintenance products such as the kick-ass bottom drain and kick-ass retro bottom drain series, designed for superior adaptability and performance with adjustable intake heights and a custom air diffuser. The kick-ass bottom drain features a 360-degree pull design that efficiently removes fish waste and debris, along with a patent-pending no-leak installation. The kick-ass flange INO fitting offers a versatile solution for liner penetration with a dual O-ring design for easy, leak-free installation. Each product is engineered to enhance functionality and clarity in koi ponds and water gardens.

In November 2023, Jones Lake Management, a U.S.-based provider of professional pond and lake management services, acquired Ponds Rx, LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Jones Lake Management aimed to strengthen its regional presence in Indiana and expand its recurring service offerings in pond maintenance, aeration systems, and water-body health solutions. Ponds Rx was a U.S.-based provider of pond and lake management services to commercial and residential customers, including scheduled treatments, fish stocking, and aeration solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on polymer resins, synthetic rubbers, and manufacturing inputs have increased production costs for pond liners, affecting the availability and pricing of PVC, EPDM, and polyethylene-based products. These impacts are most significant across material segments such as polyvinyl chloride and ethylene propylene diene monomer, and regions heavily reliant on imported raw materials, including Asia-Pacific and North America. While tariffs create cost pressures, they also encourage domestic manufacturing, regional supply chain strengthening, and innovation in alternative materials, offering limited positive effects for market resilience and competitiveness.

Pond liners are waterproof materials designed to establish a sealed barrier within ponds and water features, preventing water loss and maintaining desired water levels. They play a crucial role in managing algae growth, minimizing upkeep, and creating optimal conditions for aquatic life. The primary function of a pond liner is to retain water in the pond, stopping it from seeping into the surrounding soil.

The key categories of pond liners include consulting services, deployment and integration services, and support and maintenance services. Pond liner consulting services involve professional advice on selecting, installing, and maintaining pond liners to ensure effective water containment and management. These liners are made from various materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), butyl rubber, polyurea, polyester, and polyethylene, and are produced using techniques such as extrusion and calendaring. They are applied in areas such as waste management, water management, tunnel liners, and salt farming, and are used by end users for purposes including potable water, floating baffles, and oil spill containment, among others.North America was the largest region in the pond liners market in 2025.
