Asia-Pacific Geomembranes Market by Material Type, by Technology, by Application (Waste Management, Water Management, Mining, Tunnel Liners, Coal Ash Containment, Salt Farming, and Others), and by Country - Trends & Forecast to 2020
Geomembrane is an impermeable membrane liner or barrier used to block the movement of water, fluids, or other materials of soluble nature in man-made structures. Geomembranes are primarily manufactured from polyethylene and have use in the containment of liquid, solid waste management, mining, and other applications. These products are a relatively impermeable sheet of plastics and are generally categorized under calendared and extruded form. Key applications for geomembranes include waste management, water management, mining, tunnel liners, coal ash containment, salt farming, and others.
The key drivers contributing towards the growth of geomembranes market in the Asia-Pacific region are:
- Implementation of the stringent regulations
- Increased applicability of geomembranes

Asia-Pacific Geomembranes Market, By Material Type, By Technology, By Application (Waste Management, Water Management, Mining, Tunnel Liners, Coal Ash Containment, Salt Farming, and Others), and By Country Trends & Forecast to 2020
The Asia-Pacific geomembranes market size is projected be 283.81 Million meter square by 2020, with a CAGR of 12.6% between 2015 and 2020.
The growing demand of geomembranes in various applications and the implementation of stringent regulations are the key drivers of Asia-Pacific geomembranes market. Whereas reduced margin for global players and dependency of the government authorization for approval of certain projects are hampering the growth in demand for geomembranes in the region.
HDPE geomembranes are expected to be the largest segment by type accounting for more than 54% share in 2015. LLDPE geomembranes are expected to be the fastest growing segment by type which is projected to register a CAGR of 14.5%. This is because LLDPE geomembranes are an ideal choice for many applications which require material flexibility with high strength and durability.
India and Thailand are the top two consumers of geomembranes in the Asia-Pacific market, witnessing CAGRs of 14.3% and 13.2%, respectively between 2015 and 2020. The growth is due to the demand for geomembranes in landfill application (waste management), which is most dominant among all the applications in Thailand and India.
Key participants in the Asia-Pacific geomembranes market include GSE Environmental LLC (U.S.), Solmax Inc., (Canada) and Naue GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Agru Kunststofftechnik GmbH (Austria), and others. By adopting various development strategies, which primarily include new product development and expansion activities, the companies are expanding their product offerings and market footprint. New product launches formed the prime strategy adopted by key industry players in order to achieve growth in this market. This strategy accounted for 70% of all the growth strategies captured between 2011 and 2015.
