Breathable Membrane Market Trends

Growth Driver

• Demand for advanced roof-membranes quality - Roof-breathable membranes are becoming increasingly popular, despite their high installation requirements. It has been noted that poor placement of these roof membranes may result in the displacement of roof tiles, causing severe damage to the roof, hence increasing the breathable membranes market demand.

• Increasing development and investment - Significant opportunities for the breathable membranes market development over the forecast period are projected to be created by the development of more energy-efficient building construction, and increased investment in the improvement and renovation of homes and businesses around the world.
• Growing awareness about health and hygiene in developing nations - The acceptance of hygiene products in developing countries is low compared to developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and Japan, and Western European countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy.
  
  In APAC, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the adoption of health and hygiene products has been slow due to cultural differences and unaffordability. However, the epidemic has led to an increase in the introduction of sanitary products, as it is rising in developing countries. In addition, it is expected that by 2028 the market share of baby diapers will increase to 5.8 billion kg.

Challenges

• Strict regulatory policies - Breathable membranes are strictly regulated in particular applications, such as medical devices and food packaging. This might raise the cost and complexity of introducing new products to the market.
• Fluctuating raw material prices are anticipated to hamper the market growth in the upcoming period.
• Intense competition from substitutes.
