Market Segmentation

• In 2022, the geotextiles segment accounted for around 46.5% market share

On the basis of the type, the global geosynthetics market is segmented into geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geofoam, geonets, and others. The geotextiles segment is dominating the market with the largest market share in 2022, due to its widespread use and diverse applications. Geotextiles are permeable fabrics made from synthetic materials that are used in civil engineering and construction projects to provide reinforcement, separation, filtration, and drainage functions. They are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including roads, railways, erosion control, soil stabilization, and environmental protection. Geotextiles offer excellent tensile strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors, making them a preferred choice for infrastructure projects. Additionally, geotextiles are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and promote sustainable construction practices, further contributing to their dominance in the geosynthetics market. Their superior performance and versatility have established geotextiles as a leading segment in the geosynthetics industry.

• In 2022, the waste management segment dominated with the market with more than 33.7% revenue share

Based on the application, the global geosynthetics market is segmented into waste management, water management, transportation infrastructure, civil construction, and others. Out of this, the waste management segment is dominating the market with the largest market share in 2022, due to the increasing need for effective waste containment solutions. Geosynthetics, which are synthetic materials used in civil engineering and construction, offer a range of applications in waste management, including landfill liners, caps, and covers. Geosynthetic liners, made of impermeable materials, prevent harmful substances from contaminating the soil and groundwater, ensuring safe waste containment. They also provide stability and durability to landfill structures. Geosynthetic covers, on the other hand, reduce odors, gas emissions, and wildlife intrusion, and can be used for the final capping of closed landfills. With the growing awareness of environmental protection and regulations on waste management, geosynthetics are increasingly being adopted as effective solutions, driving the growth of the waste management segment in the geosynthetics market.
