Breathable Polypropylene Membrane Market Industry Analysis 2030
Posted by aartimule on December 16th, 2021
Breathable Polypropylene Membrane Market: Overview
- Breathable polypropylene membranes are semi-porous films or sheets, which allow the exchange of water vapor while preventing water from permeating through. These membranes prevent water from seeping into the roof structure while providing cold and warm ventilation.
- Breathable polypropylene (PP) membranes are primarily used in the building & construction industry. They are used as underlays for various types of roofs such as slated pitched roofs and tiled roofs.
Key Drivers of Global Breathable Polypropylene Membrane Market
- The global market for breathable polypropylene membranes is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. Rising awareness regarding protection of construction resources from additional dampness and government initiatives for promoting growth of the construction industry are expected to drive the global breathable polypropylene membrane market during the forecast period.
- The global construction industry has adopted methods for formation of energy-effective structures. Thus, structures are becoming extra airtight with enhanced breeze proofing, dual coating, and use of essential warming.
- The breathable polypropylene membrane technology is extensively utilized to permit breathing of roofs. Breathable polypropylene membranes are appropriate for use in fully braced, underlined, inclined rooftops; warm or cold non-ventilated rooftops; and cold ventilated rooftops.
Inclined Rooftop Application Segment to Witness Lucrative Opportunities
- Inclined rooftop is the most rapidly expanding application segment of the global breathable polypropylene membrane market. Growth of the building & construction sector is driving the demand for breathable polypropylene membranes in the inclined rooftop application segment.
High Investments Required in Research & Development to Hamper Global Market
- Production of breathable polypropylenes membrane requires notable research and development activities. These membranes are considerably expensive as compared to other products used for minimizing energy consumption in the construction sector. This factor is projected to hamper the production of and demand for breathable polypropylene membranes in the near future.
North America to Hold a Significant Share of Global Breathable Polypropylene Membrane Market
- In terms of region, the global breathable polypropylene membrane market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
- The breathable polypropylene membrane market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a significant rate during the forecast period, owing to growth of the construction industry in the region. China, India, ASEAN, and Australia are expected to contribute significantly to the market in the region in the near future.
- Europe is estimated to be a major market for breathable polypropylene membranes during the forecast period. Germany and France are the two key markets for breathable polypropylene membranes in this region. The growing construction of housing is driving the market in Europe. Increasing usage of breathable polypropylene membranes in inclined rooftops and walls and strict structural rules for minimizing energy consumption are projected to drive the demand for breathable polypropylene membranes in the region during the forecast period.
