Building Waterproof Repair Market Report 2026

The building waterproof repair market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.1 billion in 2025 to $23.64 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing aging building stock, rising exposure to water damage risks, expansion of urban residential construction, adoption of traditional waterproofing methods, growing awareness of structural durability.

The building waterproof repair market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart building maintenance, rising focus on climate-resilient construction, expansion of green building standards, growing demand for long-life waterproof systems, increasing use of advanced repair technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for preventive waterproof repair services, rising adoption of advanced waterproof coating materials, growing focus on leak detection and diagnostics, expansion of refurbishment and renovation projects, enhanced emphasis on long-term structural protection.

The increasing residential and commercial developments are projected to drive the growth of the building waterproof repair market in the future. Residential and commercial developments encompass the construction and development of housing units and business-oriented properties designed to meet the needs of individuals, families, and businesses within a community. These developments are rising due to factors such as population growth, urbanization, increasing demand for housing and business spaces, economic expansion, and the necessity for modern infrastructure to accommodate evolving lifestyles and business requirements. Building waterproof repair is crucial for residential and commercial projects to prevent water infiltration, which can cause structural damage, mold growth, and deterioration of building materials, ultimately protecting the integrity, safety, and longevity of the property. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that the value of new construction work in current prices in Great Britain soared by 15.8% to a record $173.1 billion (£132.99 billion) in 2022, driven by an increase in private sector work amounting to $18.34 billion (£14.09 billion) and public sector work totaling $5.29 billion (£4.07 billion). Therefore, the growth of residential and commercial developments is driving the expansion of the building waterproof repair market.

Key companies in the building waterproof repair market are focusing on developing advanced products such as roof waterproofing solutions to effectively prevent water infiltration. Roof waterproofing products include materials and coatings designed to create a protective barrier on roofs, preventing leaks and water damage. For instance, in June 2023, Fosroc, a UAE-based construction company, introduced the Polyurea WH 100. This roof waterproofing product is notable for its hand-applied application, which is particularly useful for flat roof installations where detailed work is challenging and spray equipment may not be available. The product’s seamless finish and advanced polyurea technology provide durable waterproofing. The quick return-to-service times facilitate minimal delays for subsequent trades, potentially reducing overall construction times. The new Polyurea WH 100 enhances Fosroc’s Polyurea portfolio, addressing a wide range of waterproofing needs across different market sectors.
