Ken Research predicts that the demand for waterproofing solutions from the residential and other sectors will increase gradually over the years. The biggest green building trend in the commercial market is taking place on the rooftops. Green trends are also driving demand for cool roofs, reflective roofs, and green (vegetative) roofs. Across all segments of the waterproofing industry, green waterproofing products— meaning those that are recyclable, low-VOC, or rubber/polymer-based instead of asphalt/solvent based—are doing relatively better. The growing emphasis on long-term, life-cycle costs is favorable to waterproofing contractors who focus on quality and craftsmanship, and the green/sustainable building movement will give environmentally-friendly products an edge. There is a potential market of considerable backlog of waterproofing work that’s been deferred during the recession or past years, as well as significant chunk of replacement work is required in already constructed building structures.

Hotels or commercial properties is one of the main segments of waterproofing industry in Malaysia as these businesses have keen focus on maintaining properties for a long time and avoid any damages in terms of water seepage or cracks. The waterproofing requirement in hotels is not just limited to roofing but interior, exterior walls, washrooms and other infrastructure amenities such as swimming pools which presents a huge potential market for waterproofing players in Malaysia. As number of tourist arrivals increases, the demand for these hotels will increase. And with increase in number of hotel properties, the demand for waterproofing products is projected to increase as well.
