Global Geogrids Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (Uniaxial Geogrid, Biaxial Geogrid, Triaxial Geogrid), By Application (Road Construction, Railroad Stabilization, Soil Reinforcement), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The global geogrids market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.01%. It was valued at US$700.806 million in 2020 and is expected to reach a size of US$959.596 million in 2027.

Owing to the increase in demand for geogrid in transportation and construction, the geogrid market is estimated to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period.

Despite the outbreak of Covid-19, which affected the manufacturing of geogrid, the recovery of road construction projects is expected to robust the geogrid market growth in upcoming years.

Geogrid is a geosynthetic material and is used for reinforcing soils and similar materials. Its usage is majorly made to reinforce retaining walls and subsoils or subbases. The geogrid decreases the deformability of the soil and improves its bearing capacity. The rising number of infrastructure projects in many developing and developed countries have led to a surge in demand for geogrid. This is one of the essential factors to drive the growth in the global geogrid market in recent years. Moreover, although many infrastructure projects went to a halt due to COVID-19 in the years 2019 and 2020, to overcome the loss, government and market players are planning to build these projects actively in upcoming years. This has expected to contribute to the growth of the geogrid market during the forecast period.

Increasing road construction to boost the market

Geogrid is made in road constructions, soil reinforcement, railroad stabilization, and many other sectors. Wherein, the demand for geogrid is expected to incline towards road construction sector. The use of geogrid in road construction improves its road surface quality and increases the safety of roads. This has eliminated the need for disposal and over-excavation of poor-quality soil. It has also improved the performance to bear earth-moving vehicles. Due to the use of geogrid, maintenance is required low, which provides resistance against inclement climate change such as heavy rain in the area. Moreover, the geogrid reduced carbon emissions; its use is also environmentally safe. Thus, many environmentalists encourage industrialists to use geogrid in road construction.

Geogrid is available in various types, such as uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. Among these, biaxial geogrid is expected to portray a significant share of the geogrid market in the upcoming years. This is due to its properties, such as optimum load-bearing and exceptional junction strength. Biaxial geogrid is used on a large scale in the road construction sector as it provides strength to the road. It can be found in the materials of roads, highways, expressways, flyovers, and bridges.

Many new projects have been planned for road infrastructure developments. For instance,

• In November 2021, Scotland had a plan of carrying out a civil engineering and infrastructure project adjacent to the Clyde River, which will be worth Euro 2.8 million. This will be carried out by Clyde Gateway Developments Limited.

Latest developments 

• In December 2021, Tensar Corporation, a leading manufacturer of geogrid material for civil construction with Castle Harlan Inc, announced its entry into the metal industry by signing an agreement with Commercial Metals Company. This will help them to expand their production of geogrid and create more opportunities for application in the construction sector.
• In March 2021, HUESKER group, a leading geogrid company, announced the availability of Fortrac T geogrid in the ecoLine version. This flexible geogrid is produced from 100% recycled polyester yarns.

North America accounts for a significant market share

Due to modernization at a faster pace in the countries such as the United States and Canada, the up-gradation of infrastructure is rising here. During the next five years, it has been projected that these countries to expand their prevalent infrastructure facilities. This led to the increasing demand for geogrid from these countries. Hence, North America is projected to hold a significant share of the geogrid market during the forecast period. 

Whereas, due to the increase in infrastructure projects in many Asian countries, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow faster during the forecast period. Nevertheless, Europe is also projected to grow in the geogrid market in the next five years.
