Geotextile Tubes Market Growth & Trends

The global geotextile tubes market size is expected to reach USD 4.83 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc. It is anticipated to register a revenue-based CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The growing product demand from the wastewater treatment industry for sludge dewatering applications is anticipated to positively impact the growth.

Breakwater, groins, revetment, and seawalls are some of the traditional methods that are used to control coastal erosion. However, geotextile tubes have emerged as an effective alternative to these traditional methods owing to their superior erosion control attributes along with low cost and ease of installation.

Strict environmental standards and regulations related to human health safety are expected to stimulate the implementation of effluent treatment in the pulp and paper and power generation industry. Thus, geotextile tubes are witnessing wide-ranging adoption in a variety of applications such as dewatering and slurry containment generated form these industries.

Manufacturers are using various protectants to improve the UV resistance of the product. These protectants contain polyurea, which forms a protective shell to enhance the performance of the products by protecting them from ultraviolet radiation. Furthermore, manufacturers are using anti-fouling agents to enhance the dewatering performance of the geotextile tubes.
