El Salvador Waterproofing Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
El Salvador has a tropical climate comprising a wet and dry season. Changing weather and climatic conditions can cause cracks in building walls, leading to water leakage. Waterproofing systems help prevent such cracks and leakages on rooftops, walls, and floors, among others. Moreover, the demand for non-toxic and VOC-free waterproofing solutions is expected to rise in popularity owing to rising health and environmental concerns in the forecast period.
Some of the factors driving the El Salvador waterproofing market growth are the increasing construction activities and the growth in the tourism sector. Construction is vital to El Salvador's economy, accounting for over 12% of the GDP. Rising investment in private and public construction projects, including the expansion of roads and highways such as the Los Chorros Highway project in 2023, aids the market growth.
Rising construction activities; the robust growth of the tourism sector; energy efficiency offered by waterproofing solutions; and benefits provided by waterproofing solutions are aiding the El Salvador waterproofing market expansion
Construction is vital to El Salvador's economy, accounting for over 12% of the GDP, along with real estate. The rising construction activities, including the development and expansion of roads and bridges, support the growth of the El Salvador waterproofing market development.
Favourable government initiatives, such as the Housing and Dignified Life Program (PROVIDA) for low-income families to access loans for housing, support the growth of the waterproofing market in El Salvador.
As El Salvador witnesses steady tourism growth, the country's hotels, restaurants, and recreational sites are expected to expand in number. Such developments are likely to drive the demand for waterproofing solutions.
Waterproofing the ceiling, foundation, and walls is essential for homeowners to reduce their energy bills. Water leakages increase the energy consumed for heating, cooling, and lighting homes. The need to lower carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption also contributes to the market growth.
Waterproofing insulates buildings from UV rays, reducing their temperature and aiding in utility bill savings by lowering air conditioning costs. Additionally, it significantly reduces the damage to the roof caused by water leakages, reducing the expenditure on maintenance and repair.
The El Salvador hospitality sector is expected to experience consistent expansion as a result of the country's growing tourism industry. In 2023, El Salvador recorded 3 million international tourists. These advancements are expected to fuel the need for waterproofing products.
Furthermore, the surge in loan disbursements in El Salvador, specifically for home acquisition, and construction projects encompassing residential, industrial, commercial, and service buildings, as well as the urbanisation of land, has positively impacted the El Salvador waterproofing market. The rising urbanisation, housing and infrastructure developments and the inclusion of new facilities for water supply, schools, bridges, and roads, support the demand for waterproofing solutions.

El Salvador Waterproofing Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034 offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Type:
Market Breakup by Application:
Market Breakup by End Use:
Liquid waterproofing membranes are expected to dominate the El Salvador waterproofing market share due to the consumer need for waterproof basements
Liquid waterproofing membranes are polymer-based systems that can be applied by hand, using a roller or trowel, or by spraying onto exposed surfaces. These membranes cure into a seamless rubber coating devoid of seams or joints, preventing water ingress. The demand for such membranes is driven by homeowners refurbishing their basements to create living spaces and commercial space owners investing in watertight basements to protect valuable assets.
Epoxy resins are renowned for their remarkable waterproofing capabilities, characterised by their low permeability to water and ability to establish a robust moisture barrier. These resins exhibit exceptional strength and durability, rendering them highly suitable for a wide range of waterproofing applications. El Salvador’s climate conditions create demand for epoxy resins in residential and commercial sectors.
Cementitious waterproofing is predominantly used for wastewater and potable water facilities. These membranes can resist the strongest chemical attacks occurring in wastewater structures. The significant investment of USD 40 million in the construction of Ilopango water treatment plant, further necessitates the employment of such membranes, propelling the El Salvador waterproofing market expansion.
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes provide consumers with the dual benefits of waterproofing and heat insulation, as they are heat-reflective. They are an energy-efficient roofing system that can reduce a building’s internal cooling costs by around 25 – 35%. Consumers’ growing demand for energy-efficient waterproofing solutions creates demand for thermoplastic membranes.
