Market Introduction
The North America geogrid market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The North American region constitutes developed economies such as US, Canada, and Mexico as a developing nation. The rise in the infrastructural development activities around the world specifically in countries such as the US and other countries have led to an increase in the demand for geogrid. Geogrids are basically flexible structure and is mostly used to reinforce as well as paving the foundation layer which helps in strengthening and expanding the lifespan of the infrastructural work. The demand for geogrids to be used in infrastructural activities has also increased due to the high resistance against physical degradation and loss of rigidity which is due to chemical aggressive environments. The geogrid provides low maintenance requirement for infrastructures as well as better sustainability which will maintain the infrastructural work for a longer period. In the US, the government has planned to increase investment in infrastructure construction, which will basically include roads, ports and bridges, telecommunications, energy & utilities, and water and sewerage, are expected to raise adoption of geogrid in the coming years. The government in countries such as Mexico are investing a lot for the development of rail tracks as well as road transportation which will lead to an increase in demand of geogrids to help in the development of these infrastructural structures.
In case of COVID-19, in North America, especially the US, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of geogrid manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has subsequently impacted the demand for geogrid during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall reinforcement materials manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of geogrid manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for geogrid. Similar trend was witnessed in other North American countries, i.e., Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Costa Rica. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The geogrid market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 285.12 million in 2020 to US$ 588.36 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.5 % from 2020 to 2028. The companies which are manufacturing geogrids are always looking to innovate the products provided by them. Previously, geogrids were usually made form materials such as polyester and propylene, but now high-density polyethylene materials are also used to produce geogrids. The geogrids made from HDPE resist elongation when they are subjected to heavy loads for long period. Due to HDPE resins these kinds of geogrids are mostly used with a variety of backfill materials that includes recycled concrete as well as on-site soils. The companies are also providing geogrids that can be customized and can be produced according to specific roll lengths as well as the widths and grid aperture/opening sizes without making any comprise on the structural integrity. Thus, such innovations are going to be the future of the geogrid industries. For instance, HUESKER has produced the world's first geogrid which is made from 100% recycled PET. With the introduction of the new product, the company is basically focusing on providing more environmentally friendly solutions which will help in conserving the natural resources during production. Strata provides StrataGrid which is a polyester, flexible, high-performance geogrid that is mostly used in soil reinforcement and other civil engineering applications.
Key Market Segments
Based on type the biaxial geogrid segment accounted for the largest share of the North America geogrid market in 2019. Based on application, the road construction segment held a larger market share of the North America geogrid market in 2019. Based on manufacturing method, the extruded segment held a larger market share of the North America geogrid market in 2019. Biaxial geogrid is a type of geogrid which is made from high polymer. Biaxial geogrid consists of high tensile strength which is in both transverse and longitudinal directions. This type of geogrid is basically made through the process of extruding, punching, sheet forming and stretching. This type of geogrid basically provides good bearing capacity which can enhance soil structure and prevent soil erosion. This type of geogrid is often used in road construction to prevent the road from reflective and fatigue cracking. Biaxial geogrid is used to improve the long-term durability of the subgrade as well as reduces road maintenance costs. Geogrids also provides support for the construction of access roads, highways and applications on weak subgrades which earlier required expensive over-excavating and replacing. This type of geogrid has good resistance to long term degradation which makes it suitable for various applications, such as embankment reinforcement, soil stabilization, slope protection, wall reinforcement, and other permanent load bearing foundation reinforcement which in turn lead to an increased demand for biaxial geogrid. These products are mostly used in subbase reinforcement, soil stabilization, foundation engineering, and highway construction applications.
