Market Overview:
The global geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for GCLs from various applications, such as containment and wastewater treatment, landfill, roadways and civil construction. In terms of type, the bentonite swell index1 segment is projected to lead the GCL market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high water absorption capacity and low hydraulic conductivity values.
Product Definition:
A geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a synthetic membrane used in place of natural clay to line and protect earthen storage facilities such as landfills, hazardous waste sites, and mining pits.
Bentonite Swell Index1:
Bentonite Swell Index 1 (BSI1) is a clay mineral, which has high swelling power. Bentonite clay is used as an extender in geosynthetic clay liners and also acts as a binder for the liner material. The primary function of BSI1 in Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) products is to increase the overall thickness of the lining thereby increasing its strength.
Bentonite Fluid Loss:
Bentonite Fluid Loss is the drainage of soluble mineral components from a bentonite clay liner. It is caused by the swelling of liners due to hydrostatic pressure or osmotic pressure. The loss can be minimized by maintaining an adequate headspace between the surface of the soil and liner, controlling hydration rate, and minimizing compaction.
Application Insights:
The containment and wastewater treatment application segment led the market in 2017. This is attributed to the growing demand for geosynthetic clay liners in various industries including oil & gas, chemical, power generation, municipal and others. The product is used to protect soil from contamination as well as act as a barrier against toxicants leaching through the soil into water systems.
Geosynthetic clay liners are also used in landfill applications owing to their ability to control erosion by controlling lateral spreading of fill material through friction between particles or by using a thickener such as cemented gravel or organic polymers during landfill construction activities. In addition, they are being increasingly utilized for roadways and civil constructions due to their superior properties including subsoil stabilization; improved trafficability; reduced maintenance costs; increased lifespan of structures compared with conventional concrete alternatives.
Regional Analysis:
The North American geosynthetic clay liner market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing infrastructure expenditure in the region. The rising number of construction projects such as widening of roads, airports, and railroads due to growing trade activities is expected to drive industry expansion over the next eight years.
In addition, increasing demand for containment and wastewater treatment applications in municipal and industrial sectors will augment industry development. In addition, stringent government regulations regarding waste management are also likely to propel product demand during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific was estimated as a revenue-based market with a share of 24% in 2017 on account of rapid urbanization resulting into increased infrastructural spending by various governments across countries such as China and India which are majorly contributing toward growth through their robust construction sector including new constructions along with renovations/upgrades within existing structures including buildings/infrastructure drainage systems among others).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment sector
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using geosynthetic clay liners in landfill applications
- Growing demand for geosynthetic clay liners in mining and oil & gas industries
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of more efficient and durable geosynthetic clay liners
- The increasing use of composite materials in geosynthetic clay liner manufacturing
