Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the European Below-Grade Waterproofing Market:
The global european below-grade waterproofing Market is segmented based on material type, membrane type, application type, position type and region.
Based on Material type –
- The market is segmented as polymers, bitumen, bentonite, rubberized asphalt, and others.
- Polymer-based waterproofing is expected to remain dominant in the market during the forecast period
- Polymers offer a range of benefits, such as lightweight, flexibility, high efficiency, and environmental safety.
- Bitumen membranes are products under the Construction Product Regulation (CPR) in Europe.
- Bentonite waterproofing held the second-leading position. There are several types of bentonite waterproofing systems, such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and hydrogen.
Based on the Membrane type -
- The market is segmented into sheet-based waterproofing and liquid-coated waterproofing.
- Sheet-based waterproofing is gaining more popularity over liquid-coated waterproofing owing to its robustness, self-reinforcement, and controlled thickness. Additionally, they do not require mixing or special equipment.
- Polymers, bentonite, and rubberized asphalt are primarily used in the form of sheet-based membranes, whereas bitumen and cementitious materials are mainly used in the form of liquid-coated waterproofing.
Based on the Position type –
- The market is segmented into positive-side waterproofing, blind-side waterproofing, and negative-side waterproofing.
- Positive-side waterproofing prevents moisture infiltration, protects structural surfaces, and acts as a vapor barrier.
- Blind-side waterproofing is used on new construction structures where property line encroachment or other space limitations prohibit the ability to excavate the site. It is also used for splitting or mud. Slab horizontal applications.
- Ways of installation of fluid-applied waterproofing are spray-applied, cold-applied, and hot-applied waterproofing.
- Negative-side position is mostly used at the aftermarket level for remedial and renovation of building construction or infrastructure due to the inaccessibility and costly removal of positive-side below-grade waterproofing.
Based on the Application type –
- The market is segmented into fluid-applied waterproofing, fully bonded waterproofing, loose-laid waterproofing, and self-adhered waterproofing.
- Ways of installation of fluid-applied waterproofing are spray-applied, cold-applied, and hot-applied waterproofing.
- Self-adhered is expected to maintain its second-leading position and highest growth in the market until 2030.
- They offer several benefits, such as controlled thickness, excellent reliability, excellent chemical resistance, no VOCs, and high crack coverage.
- Fully bonded is expected to grow at the second-highest rate during 2024-2030.

Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity?
“Germany is expected to remain the largest market for European below-grade waterproofing during the forecast period.”
- Germany and France are expected to mark healthy growth trajectories by 2030.
- Some of the key players’ headquarters: MBCC Group in Germany and Mapei in Italy.
- DIN 18533-1 is a part of the German standard that deals with the waterproofing of buildings, specifically related to the protection of building elements that are in contact with soil. DIN 18533 is a critical standard for construction in Germany and provides guidelines on how to properly waterproof foundations, basements, and other below-ground structures to prevent damage from water ingress.
European Below-Grade Waterproofing Market Drivers:
Some of the key drivers listed in the report are given below.
- Below-grade (below-ground level) waterproofing is one of the key technologies used in the construction industry that is now becoming an essential step in protecting a structure from water. It is performed to restrict the penetration of water through any below-grade structure.
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE), thermoplastic olefin (TPO), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), bitumen (bituminous and modified bitumen, etc.), bentonite (such as sodium bentonite), and rubberized asphalt are some of the materials, which are extensively used in below-grade structures.
- Below-grade waterproofing is widely used in the public infrastructure, commercial & residential buildings in structures, such as basements, foundations, planters, tunnels, bridges, elevator pits, and drainage systems.
- The below-grade waterproofing market currently represents less than a 5% share of the overall waterproofing market, and the European market represented merely ~19 % of the global market in 2023. The cost of waterproofing the structures amounts to less than 1% of the total construction cost and saves an equivalent amount or more in future repair and maintenance costs over the service life of the structure.
- Sailing with resilience through the headwinds, the European construction industry is holding on to the light at the end of the tunnel. Slight relief is expected with gradual improvement from 2025, due to the recovering housing market and the increasing amount of building permits for new homes, ultimately imprinting a positive impact on the below-grade waterproofing market.
