Geosynthetics Industry in India Poised for Strong Growth


The India Geosynthetics market has seen substantial growth in recent years and is expected to excel further in future, driven by increasing infrastructure development, sustainable construction practices, environment concerns, advancements in geosynthetic technologies, and expanding applications across various sectors.

Geosynthetics refer to artificial polymeric (plastic) products that provide solutions for various geotechnical problems during construction projects. They are available in different forms, such as strips, three-dimensional structures, or planar. They are designed to perform specific functions such as stabilization, separation, reinforcement, drainage, filtration, containment of liquids, and erosion control. Some products are even designed to provide multiple functions. Geosynthetics have become increasingly popular in civil engineering due to their ability to improve and enhance various construction works.

The use of geosynthetics offers various advantages. For instance, it helps reduce the cost of construction materials and installation work. They resist corrosion and are robust and long-lasting. Geosynthetics are regarded as an all-purpose, environmentally benign material suitable for various applications in construction, facilitating expedited work. They offer higher quality, quicker adoption and lower life-cycle costs for all infrastructure construction projects. Additionally, they reduce the chance of human errors and have easy design methodologies. They ensure consistency over a wide range of soils and have minimal need of regular repair.
