As per the Latin America waterproofing market dynamics and trends, Shalimar Paints Ltd. announced the launch of Zero Damp Advance and Zero Damp Smart, two new products in the Home Protect Waterproofing range, in July 2024. These products offer superior protection against seepage as well as a warranty of 12 years.
Rising demand for multifunctional waterproofing; growing concerns regarding rapid climate change; development of smart waterproofing solutions; and surging preference for green waterproofing solutions are favouring the Latin America waterproofing market expansion.
Amid the growing demand for efficiency and versatility, key players are offering multifunctional waterproofing solutions that can provide superior water resistance while providing benefits such as soundproofing, thermal insulation, and fire resistance to enhance building performance, streamline construction processes, and lower material costs.
Latin America is susceptible to the impacts of rapid climate change, including extreme rainfall, glacier melting, floods, and prolonged monsoon, causing water-related damage to buildings such as mould growth, dampness, and structural damage. This is surging the need for high-quality, resilient, and durable waterproofing solutions.
The development of smart waterproofing solutions equipped with the Internet of things (IoT) and sensors that can assess moisture levels, detect leaks, and facilitate predictive maintenance is driving the Latin America waterproofing market growth. Such solutions, by leveraging automation and data analytics, can optimise waterproofing performance, minimise costly repairs, and extend the durability of buildings, hence fuelling the market.
With the rising emphasis on sustainability, there is an increasing preference for green waterproofing solutions that incorporate drainage layers, specialised membranes, and vegetation components to create resilient and sustainable rooftop ecosystems. Moreover, the development of waterproofing systems from non-toxic, low VOC, and durable materials is anticipated to aid the market in the coming years.
As per the Latin America waterproofing industry analysis, the growth of the residential sector in countries such as Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil are contributing to the demand for waterproofing to safeguard the buildings from damage and provide extended life span. According to National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), In April 2024, the residential construction figure in Mexico stood at 139,951 units. In May 2024, it slightly increased to 140,129 units. In June 2024, there was a further minor increase, reaching 140,878 units.
