Liquid Applied Membrane Companies

The liquid-applied membrane market is projected to reach USD 33.50 billion by 2030 from USD 25.27 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Liquid applied membranes (LAMs) are seamless, fluid-based waterproofing solutions that cure to form a flexible and durable membrane. Known for their ease of application and ability to conform to complex surfaces, LAMs offer excellent adhesion, UV resistance, chemical resistance, and crack-bridging properties. They are widely used in applications such as roofing, basements, balconies, terraces, tunnels, bridges, and water tanks. Their seamless nature reduces the risk of leakage compared to traditional sheet membranes. LAMs are important in modern construction for protecting structures from water damage, enhancing durability, and supporting energy efficiency. Their growing use reflects a shift toward sustainable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting building solutions.
