Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing level of environmental awareness
Geomembranes can efficiently prevent the leakage of poisonous fluids, harmful gases, among other pollutants at an affordable cost, which reduces damage to the environment. It is widely used in various landfill sites all over the world, owing to its stability and safety during use on landfill sites.

Restraint: Fluctuating prices of raw materials
The primary raw material required to manufacture geomembranes are HDPE, LDPE/LLDPE, PVC, PP, EPDM, and others. The price and availability of the aforementioned raw materials are directly dependent on crude oil. The prices of materials such as polyethylene and propylene are very volatile, making the price of end products inconsistent.

Opportunity: Development of resilient geomembranes to sustain in harsh operational conditions
Geomembranes are vital products in protecting water from hazardous solid and liquid waste materials. These act as hydraulic barriers in the purification processes and also as a gas barrier, preventing air pollutants from escaping. They are used in the waste containment projects, landfills, leachate pads during mining, refineries, and many other applications.

Challenge: Dependency on government authorizatio
Geomembranes are mostly used in public projects such as mining, canals, reservoir, power plants, and others. These projects have involvement of various government organizations and some public-private partnerships (PPP). Such projects are highly prone to delays caused by slack in financial clearances, environmental approvals, and other approvals from the respective authorities.

The geomembranes market is driven by the demand arising mainly from the waste and water management issues. The respective Local governments of almost every country have made protocols for ground water protection and consumption, mine work tailings, coal ash management, environment protection and sustainability, and so on. Growing urbanization in APAC countries is giving rise to solid and liquid waste generation, which are the potential issues of the future. Also, huge markets like China have sanctioned $28 billion for waste water management programs in the five year plan of 2011-2015. Mining is the potential market for geomembranes as millions of square meters of membranes will be required for pond lining, and so on. The East European countries, along with Russia, are the major markets for waste and water management due to the laws of environment protection being practised here. Recently.

Tunnel liners are a niche, but a potential market of the future. This market is mainly seen in the European countries.

The markets of Peru, Chile, Africa, and Middle East are highly attractive, but challenging as GSE (Environmental), a market leader has already tapped the market, but still, the opportunities exist for niche applications. Oil and Gas, an important application, which has been considered under mining application is the future market in the ROW region.
