COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Global Geotextile Market 

The spread of the COVID-19 crisis has significantly impacted on almost every industry, including construction. The pandemic has resulted in half of several construction projects across the world and various nations have forced lockdowns, which have seriously impacted the supply chain of raw materials and products. Due to the lockdown and regulation activity, most of the industrial and commercial projects are commanded to shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic also disrupted the manufacturing sector owing to the closure of the production plant. All these factors hampered the growth of the global geotextile market. The effect of COVID-19 on the global geotextile market has witnessed losses due to declining sales and distribution. However, the demand for the market was expected from various applications in the post-pandemic, which will help the market to grow further. Post-COVID -19 pandemic, production is expected to rise to overcome the losses faced during the pandemic. With increasing road construction activity, the geotextile market in expected to witness a huge demand during the forecast period.

Market Overview- Global Geotextile Market

Market Driver

Increasing pavement life, and rehabilitation of highways, cost control and better lifespan of roads boost the geotextile market growth. Increased use of geotextile as one of the basic materials in the construction of roads, highways, flyovers, bridges and pavements for filtration and separation functions.  Geotextile helps to prevent migration and mingling of materials and allows free movement of water. Therefore, the geotextiles market is growing as an alternative for concrete in the road industry. Rising awareness of water conservation in the manufacturing sector is boosting market growth. Further, growing usage of geotextiles in the construction industry, increasing usage of geotextiles in mining activities and a stringent regulatory framework for environmental protection.

Market Restraint

The major factor hindering geotextile market growth is the susceptibility of geotextile to blockage. Furthermore, geotextiles are manufactured using synthetic fibers and any change in the demand and supply of raw material hinder the market growth. Also, fluctuations in prices of the raw materials affect the merging of manufacturers.

Market Opportunity

Rising awareness of water conservation in the manufacturing sector is a major opportunity for the geotextile market. Furthermore, growing consumption of bio-based geotextile created a great opportunity for the manufactures. Bio-based geotextile is made from various bio-based materials such as agricultural products and waste streams. These products are lightweight and reduce application and transportation costs.

Market Growth Challenge

The limited technical knowledge and expertise about geotextile in developing countries is a major challenge in the geotextile market. In developing countries, there is low awareness and construction standards do not have geotextile as a basic construction material.
