Market Overview

The Europe Hydrophilic Waterstop market is expected to reach USD 545.60 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.01%.

Hydrophilic waterstops are designed to keep water from leaking from or entering concrete structures by expanding in response to the presence of water and forming an impenetrable barrier due to this expansion. They are versatile and can be used for various purposes, such as shielding structures from the deterioration caused by a continuous flow of water and maintaining the necessary structural integrity.

Hydrophilic waterstops in building joints made of cast-in-place concrete are just one of many possible applications. Because of their adaptability and flexibility, hydrophilic waterstops are simple to place around pipe penetrations, I-beams, concrete pilings, and other surfaces with an uneven shape. In addition, hydrophilic waterstops are utilised to seal newly installed concrete up against previously placed concrete. In addition, they are not only lightweight and flexible, but they also do not call for the use of any prefabricated Ts, Ls, or crosses that have been specially ordered. The ease with which this particular style of waterstop may be installed makes it a popular choice among contractors.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing construction output in the UK is expected to drive the hydrophilic waterstop market

Monthly construction output increased by 1.7% in volume terms in March 2022, marking the fifth consecutive monthly increase and a monthly level high (£14,994 million) since monthly records began in January 2010.

The increase in monthly construction output in March 2022 was driven by increases in both repair and maintenance (3.0%); at the sector level, the main contributors to the monthly increase were private housing repair and maintenance (5.8%) and private commercial new work (4.0%).

Storms between the 16th and 21st of February 2022, according to anecdotal evidence from our Monthly Business Survey for construction and allied trades, resulted in a higher workload in March 2022, owing to storm-related repair work.

The annual rate of growth in construction output prices was 7.3% in the 12 months to March 2022, the highest annual rate since records began in 2014.

Restraints

The Hydrophilic Waterstop Market is Being Held Back Due to Product Limitations

If it comes into touch with water, hydrophilic waterstop based on bentonite expands even more quickly than concrete. In addition to this, it does not return to its initial shape. After some time has passed, the once high-quality item begins to degrade and fall apart. When it comes into contact with salt water or contaminated water, it does not experience any swelling. The Waterstops are a significant contributor to the product's overall weakness throughout its lifetime.

Additionally, modified chloroprene rubber (MCR) does not expand or contract, does not swell in fluids (except for water), has a sluggish swelling time, and does not swell. Although waterstops are useful for water, you should try to avoid using them for other fluids. Even the waterstops made of PVC, the most popular type, might be difficult to install properly in some circumstances. Honeycombing is the result of improper compaction around the waterstop, and the high probability of concrete shrinkage can lead to small gaps between the concrete and PVC. Both of these issues can be avoided by good compaction.

Regional Analysis

The market is segmented into Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe, based on country. Europe is the second-biggest market, with a market share which accounts for 21% of the total. A few of the factors contributing to the expansion of the Europe Hydrophilic Waterstop Market include low-interest rates, rising living standards, an increasing trend toward nuclear families, government and bank help for house loans, and other similar factors. The significant increase in demand for refurbishment and redevelopment is another factor contributing to the market's expansion.

Segmental Analysis

The Europe Hydrophilic Waterstop Market is segmented by product into bentonite, natural rubber, PVC, polyurethane, synthetic rubber, acrylic, and others.

In 2021, the segment that dealt in PVC accounted for the largest share of the market. Because it is embedded in the concrete joints, PVC water-stop functions as a continuous watertight diaphragm to restrict any seepage of liquids in construction joints subject to hydrostatic pressure. It is done to prevent any damage to the structure. It can accommodate lateral and transverse movements, enabling it to suit moving joints. Since it was designed for expansion or contraction joints, it can also accommodate moving joints.

The Hydrophilic (Swellable) Waterstop Market is classified into industrial, commercial, institutional, and others based on application. In 2021, the commercial segment held the largest market share. This segment is expected to grow in the coming years.
