Press Release

Asia-Pacific Waterproofing Products Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.09% through 2030F

The increasing Asia-Pacific waterproofing products market is driven by rising adoption of liquid-applied membranes (LAMs), integration of waterproofing with smart construction Technologies during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “Asia-Pacific Waterproofing Products Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Asia-Pacific Waterproofing Products Market was valued at USD 11.85 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 16.11 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.09% during the forecast period. One of the most significant trends reshaping the Asia-Pacific waterproofing products market is the increasing preference for liquid-applied membranes (LAMs) over traditional sheet-based materials. This shift is driven by LAMs’ ability to create seamless, joint-free coatings that significantly reduce the risk of water ingress. Contractors and developers across urban centers in China, India, and Southeast Asia are leaning toward LAMs due to their flexibility, ease of application on complex surfaces, and superior adhesion to varied substrates like concrete, metal, and wood. Polyurethane- and acrylic-based liquid membranes are gaining popularity in both new construction and repair applications. Their compatibility with green building codes also aligns with rising environmental regulations in countries like Japan and Australia. In large-scale infrastructure projects—such as tunnels, bridges, and elevated roads—LAMs are preferred for their resistance to vibrations and environmental stress. With continued R&D investment, newer formulations with faster curing times and higher tensile strength are entering the market, further accelerating their adoption. As real estate and industrial projects increasingly demand customized, durable solutions, the LAMs segment is poised to represent a significant share of future waterproofing activities in the region.

The waterproofing market in Asia-Pacific is increasingly intersecting with the broader movement toward smart and digitized construction. Technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), remote moisture sensors, and predictive analytics are being integrated into waterproofing design, monitoring, and maintenance processes. These tools allow developers and engineers to simulate water movement, plan drainage, and detect vulnerabilities in real-time. Especially in high-rise and commercial buildings in developed markets like Singapore, South Korea, and Japan, such digital integration ensures long-term structural health and reduces maintenance costs. Smart waterproofing systems—like sensors embedded within membranes—can now alert building managers to water ingress before it becomes visible, helping prevent severe damage. This trend is also influencing product development, as manufacturers work to ensure compatibility with digital monitoring systems. Moreover, the use of drones and AI-powered inspection platforms for post-installation quality checks is growing among large construction firms. Governments supporting smart city initiatives further encourage the adoption of technology-backed waterproofing, especially in flood-prone and high-density regions. As smart construction gains momentum, waterproofing is no longer a passive material layer but an intelligent, integral part of the building envelope strategy.

Based on product Type, Waterproof Paints is the fastest growing segment in the Asia-Pacific Waterproofing Products market during the forecast period, due to several factors driving their increasing adoption in both residential and commercial construction. Waterproof paints, often formulated with advanced polymer-based technologies, offer a cost-effective, easy-to-apply, and efficient solution for waterproofing a wide range of surfaces, from walls and floors to roofs and basements.

One key factor contributing to the growth of this segment is ease of application and labor cost savings. Unlike traditional waterproofing membranes, which require professional installation and complex processes, waterproof paints can be applied directly by contractors or even DIY consumers, leading to reduced labor costs and faster project timelines. This convenience makes waterproof paints highly attractive for both new construction projects and maintenance or renovation work. With the growing trend of DIY home improvement projects in countries like India, China, and Southeast Asia, waterproof paints are gaining popularity due to their user-friendly nature.

Additionally, environmental and regulatory factors are influencing the shift toward waterproof paints. Many countries in the region, including Japan, Australia, and South Korea, have stringent building codes and environmental standards that encourage the use of low-VOC (volatile organic compound) and eco-friendly products. Waterproof paints typically offer better environmental compliance compared to other waterproofing products, aligning with growing consumer and regulatory demand for sustainable construction materials.

The affordability of waterproof paints also plays a crucial role in their growth. As the Asia-Pacific region continues to experience urbanization and a burgeoning middle class, there is an increasing demand for budget-friendly, durable, and effective waterproofing solutions. Moreover, enhancements in product formulations, such as the development of self-priming, crack-resistant, and long-lasting paints, have further fueled the popularity of waterproof paints, particularly in flood-prone and high-humidity areas.

Based on country, India is the fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific Waterproofing Products Market during the forecast period due to a combination of factors that include rapid urbanization, booming infrastructure projects, and increasing awareness of the need for effective waterproofing solutions. As India continues to experience urban growth and a construction boom, the demand for advanced waterproofing products has surged, particularly in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

One of the primary drivers is the country's accelerating infrastructure development. India is investing heavily in infrastructure projects such as highways, metro systems, and smart cities, which require robust waterproofing systems to ensure durability and long-term performance. Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are undergoing rapid construction, including both new buildings and extensive renovations, creating a steady demand for waterproofing solutions. Additionally, large-scale projects in the real estate sector, including residential complexes, commercial buildings, and high-rise structures, are contributing to the increasing consumption of waterproofing products.

India’s growing vulnerability to extreme weather conditions like heavy monsoons and flooding further drives the need for waterproofing solutions. The increase in water-related damage to buildings and structures has heightened awareness among builders and homeowners about the importance of waterproofing to prevent leaks, mold, and structural degradation. Consequently, there is a greater emphasis on the adoption of advanced and durable waterproofing products such as coatings, membranes, and paints.

The expanding middle class and rising disposable incomes are also influencing consumer behavior, with more homeowners seeking affordable and effective solutions for home maintenance. Furthermore, the Indian government’s push towards eco-friendly and sustainable construction practices is encouraging the use of environmentally friendly waterproofing products, such as low-VOC and water-based solutions.

With favorable market dynamics, including government incentives for infrastructure projects, rapid urbanization, and increasing demand for sustainable building materials, India is poised to be the fastest-growing country in the Asia-Pacific waterproofing products market during the forecast period.
