Vapor Barriers Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Renovation of existing structures - The construction industry is rapidly flourishing along with maintaining a sense of stability by adopting the advances in building materials. So, the old structures that do not constitute high-value materials need to be repaired and upgraded with durable and premium materials. Additionally, the significance of vapor barriers is well known and this way its popularity is increasing among the construction industry.
Offices, residential, and Commercial buildings demand for excellent insulation applications in the buildings and therefore the vapor barriers market is experiencing growth. As per a research nester’s analysis, more than 1 million square meters were built in the office property in 2023 in Bengaluru. - Environmental Concerns - The increasing environmental awareness is influencing manufacturers to develop eco-friendly and sustainable materials. Renewable vapor barriers are also gaining traction due to the increasing need to reduce carbon emissions.
Thus, energy efficiency awareness is fueling the vapor barriers market’s growth. The building and construction sector accounted for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. - Expansion of the construction industry - Construction projects are distributed all around the globe and thus the demand for vapor barriers is increasing. Since vapor barriers are very crucial in water vapor prevention.
These barriers play the role of protective shield and maintain the reliability of the building by reducing the growth of molds. The construction sector accounts for 12% of the gross domestic product worldwide.
Challenges
- Alteration in the price of raw materials and high competition - The fluctuations in the cost of raw materials push manufacturers to increase the price which may hamper the growth of the market. Also, the overcrowded market is expected to reduce the profit margin for some companies.
- Lack of awareness - The vapor barriers market growth may decline due to the lack of awareness about the building materials among the builders. This could be due to the absence of programs that provide knowledge about advanced materials and cutting-edge technologies.

Vapor Barriers Segmentation
Material (Glass, Sheet Metal, Polymer, Membranes, Asphalt & Bitumen, Gypsum Board, Drywall/Board Lumber, Plywood, Concrete/Brick)
Polymer segment is poised to capture around 51% vapor barriers market share by the end of 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to its significant availability. Polymer vapor barriers are easy to install, cost-effective, versatile, flexible, and offer prime moisture resistance attributes.
Additionally, these reduce the risk of mildew formation, lessening the risk of damage to the building materials. Further, these are highly demanded under-slab applications due to their enormous properties. The U.S. National Science Foundation along with industry leaders such as BASF announced a sustainable polymer research program that incorporates a huge fund of USD 9.5 million and will leverage data science tools for the creative of new premium polymers.
Application (Corrosion Resistance, Insulation, Waterproofing, Material Packaging & stacking, Microbial & Fungal Resistance)
By 2037, insulation segment is expected to capture over 40% vapor barriers market share. Insulation helps in maintaining ideal indoor comfort along with saving energy by resisting the entry of moisture in walls and ceilings. The integration of vapor barriers with insulation materials improves the thermal structure of the buildings.
Also, vapor barriers are highly demanded to offer optimal insulation in regions where the climate fluctuates and both indoor and outdoor temperatures differ. Vapor barriers prevent the wall from desiccating by maintaining moisture.
