Summary

India's waterproofing chemicals industry has experienced substantial growth in recent years due to the country's rapid urbanization and increasing demand for durable and sustainable construction solutions. Waterproofing chemicals are crucial in India's construction sector, given the diverse climate conditions and the need to protect buildings and infrastructure from monsoons, humidity, and water damage. The Indian waterproofing chemicals industry is the presence of several industry associations dedicated to promoting best practices and standards. Organizations like the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) and the Construction Chemicals Manufacturers Association (CCMA) play a vital role in disseminating knowledge, fostering innovation, and driving the adoption of waterproofing technologies that are both effective and environmentally responsible. The Waterproofers Association of India (WAI) has been conceptualized as a non-profit organization dedicated towards the upliftment of the Waterproofing fraternity. The prime objective of WAI is to enhance the capabilities of the Waterproofers who are primarily involved in providing complete waterproofing solutions to the upcoming projects & rehabilitation of the old building structures. The Construction Chemicals Manufacturers Association (CCMA) is national bodies that represent the interests and concerns of the construction chemicals industry in India. Numerous renowned brands have established a strong presence in India's waterproofing chemicals market. Brands like Dr. Fixit (Pidilite Industries), Fosroc, Asian Paints, Sika, and BASF are among the most prominent and trusted names in the industry.

These companies offer a wide range of waterproofing products, including coatings, membranes, sealants, and admixtures, catering to the diverse needs of the Indian construction sector. Regional utilization of waterproofing chemicals varies across India due to differing climatic conditions and construction activities. Coastal regions such as Mumbai, Chennai, and Kochi experience high humidity levels and heavy monsoons, making waterproofing a top priority for builders and homeowners. Additionally, cities in the northern plains like Delhi and Lucknow face intense summer heat and occasional heavy rains, necessitating waterproofing solutions for both residential and commercial structures. The Himalayan region, with its cold and snowy winters, requires specialized waterproofing to protect against moisture infiltration and ice damage.
According to the research report "India Waterproofing Chemicals Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to grow with more than 13% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. India's market for waterproofing chemicals is significantly growing. India is seeing a major surge of infrastructural development and urbanization, which is driving up construction activity. Chemicals used in waterproofing are a crucial part of construction projects because they protect infrastructure and buildings against water damage, moisture incursion, and structural degradation. The demand for waterproofing solutions is significantly fueled by India's different weather conditions. There are many different types of weather in the country, from intense monsoons in certain areas to severely dry conditions in others. These diverse conditions call for adaptable waterproofing chemicals that can handle the unique problems each place presents. As a result, producers have concentrated on creating specialized solutions to satisfy these various needs. The Indian government has placed a strong emphasis on programs that would promote smart cities, affordable housing, and infrastructure. Since many of these projects must meet strict standards for quality and durability, using premium waterproofing chemicals is crucial. Government rules and building laws now occasionally require the use of waterproofing products, further fueling industry expansion. The advancements in research and development have led to the introduction of innovative waterproofing technologies in India. These include cutting-edge materials, such as crystalline waterproofing and liquid-applied membranes that offer superior performance and ease of application. Such innovations enhance the overall quality of waterproofing solutions available in the market.

In India, bitumen waterproofing chemicals find extensive applications in the construction industry, particularly in the realm of infrastructure development. Bitumen-based waterproofing solutions are favored for their effectiveness in preventing water infiltration and protecting structures from the monsoonal rains that characterize much of the Indian subcontinent. One of the most common applications of bitumen waterproofing chemicals in India is in roofing. Flat roofs are prevalent in both residential and commercial buildings across the country, and bitumen coatings or membranes are applied to create a waterproof barrier. This not only safeguards the building's interior from leaks but also helps in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. Bitumen-based waterproofing is also extensively used in road construction, which is a significant priority in India's infrastructure development. Bitumen is a key component in asphalt mixtures for road surfaces, providing durability and resistance to water damage. Waterproofing additives in bituminous mixtures ensure that the roads can withstand heavy rains and flooding, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring safe transportation. Bitumen waterproofing is applied to the construction of basements, underground structures, and tunnels, where water seepage is a common challenge. These applications demand robust waterproofing solutions, and bitumen-based coatings or membranes are relied upon to provide the necessary protection against groundwater infiltration.

On the basis of Application of waterproofing chemicals, the market is segmented into Roofing & Walls, Floors & Basements, Bridge & Highways, Waste & Water management, Tunnel & Landfills, Others Dams and Reservoirs, Underground Vaults, Fountains and Water Features, Elevator Pits, Cisterns, etc. Waterproofing chemicals are frequently applied in elevator pits across the India to prevent water ingress and protect the elevator machinery and components. Elevator pits are particularly vulnerable to water infiltration due to their location below ground level, making them susceptible to groundwater seepage and potential flooding. To mitigate these risks, waterproofing solutions are applied to create a durable and impermeable barrier within the pit. Waterproofing in elevator pits is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of elevators, which are integral to many buildings' functionality. It helps prevent downtime caused by water-related issues and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements. Along with this, Hospitals and healthcare facilities often use waterproofing chemicals for flooring and surfaces in areas prone to spills, such as operating rooms, laboratories, and patient care areas. Waterproofing solutions help prevent the absorption of fluids, making it easier to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. Pharmaceuticals are manufactured using a variety of equipment and machinery. In this sector waterproofing coatings and seals are used to protect critical manufacturing equipment from water damage, which can compromise the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products like elastomers are used in applications that require flexibility and elasticity, e.g., IV bags, tubing, stoppers, etc.
