Waterproofing membranes are essential for protecting buildings and infrastructure from water ingress, mold, and structural deterioration. In the US, their use is accelerating across residential, commercial, and civil construction due to stringent building codes and rising climate resilience concerns.

According to Stratview Research, the US waterproofing membrane market was valued at USD 7.2 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a strong CAGR of 6.4% during 2024-2030 to reach USD 10.4 billion in 2030.
