Liquid-Applied Membrane Market to Hit $33.5B by 2030

According to the report "Liquid-Applied Membrane Market by Type, Application, Usage, End-use Industry and Region – Global Forecast to 2030," the global market for liquid-applied membranes (LAMs) is expected to grow from USD 25.27 billion in 2025 to USD 33.50 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 5.8%. These membranes, applied in liquid form and then cured to form seamless, flexible protective barriers, are widely used in infrastructure projects for waterproofing surfaces like roofs, basements, walls, and tunnels. Their rising adoption is being driven by the growing construction industry, infrastructure expansion, urbanization, and the global shift toward sustainable construction practices.

The wall segment is anticipated to be the second-largest application area for LAMs during this period, due to the need for effective waterproofing of vertical structures. As walls are frequently exposed to moisture and climate changes, LAMs offer reliable protection against water infiltration, mold, and deterioration by forming a continuous waterproof barrier.

Regionally, Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the LAM market, driven by aggressive urban development and infrastructure investments in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. These regions are experiencing rapid construction growth across residential and commercial sectors, reinforced by smart city projects, public infrastructure upgrades, and industrial corridor developments. For instance, India’s robust construction sector and China’s emphasis on durable materials continue to create demand for reliable waterproofing technologies like liquid-applied membranes.

Key players in the market include Sika AG (Switzerland), Mapei S.P.A. (Italy), Soprema (France), Fosroc, Inc. (UAE), Saint-Gobain Weber (France), and H.B. Fuller (USA) among others.
