Geotextiles is a sub-segment of geosynthetics and is majorly used in soil & foundation reinforcement to avoid/control water & wind erosion. Superior properties including filtration, separation, protection, reinforcement and drainage are one of the key factors driving geotextiles market growth. Multiple functionality; flexible thickness & permeability and cost effectiveness in terms of fabric and labor are other factors augmenting geotextiles market growth. Rapid infrastructure development in BRICS is expected to act as a driver for the geotextiles market. Government initiatives in these countries promoting use in infrastructure is expected to further promote market growth.
However, absence of regulations for road construction result in low quality materials used mostly due to lack of awareness regarding geotextiles and their advantages is expected to negatively impact market growth. Minimum Average Roll Value (MARV) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) implementation for soil mechanical strength evaluation for road construction are potential opportunities for market participants over the forecast period.
