Building & Civil Engineering Market Insights
Fibrous materials are essential in the building and civil engineering industry, offering functionalities that enhance durability, sustainability, and energy efficiency. The construction market is projected to reach USD 12.0 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 7.5%.
This significant growth is driven by several key factors, including rapid urbanisation and population growth, government infrastructure initiatives, technological advancements, sustainability and green building practices, and economic growth.
Additionally, increased disposable income, urban redevelopment and renovation, industrial and commercial expansion, integration of smart technologies, foreign direct investment, continuous housing demand, and the construction of renewable energy facilities further contribute to the rising demand for advanced construction materials.
Regulations Driving Building & Civil Engineering Industry Innovation
As global legislation evolves, the nonwoven building and civil engineering industry faces new challenges and opportunities:
Europe
Current: The Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and REACH regulations promote sustainable materials and higher recycling targets. The Waste Framework Directive encourages recycling and waste recovery.
Future: The European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan aim for a sustainable economy, promoting sustainable product design and the use of recycled materials.
North America
Current: EPA regulations enforce air and water pollution standards, while OSHA standards impact worker safety. Various states enforce strict recycling requirements.
Future: Potential federal climate action policies may set national standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, impacting energy use and carbon footprint.
China
Current: The New Environmental Protection Law imposes stricter emissions and waste management regulations. Government’s Five-Year Plan focuses on sustainability.
Future: Enhanced environmental regulations are expected further to tighten standards on production processes and waste management.
India
Current: The Plastic Waste Management Rules aim to reduce environmental impact by managing plastic waste, including nonwoven products.
Future: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations may impose stricter requirements on producers for end-of-life disposal and recycling.
Global Initiatives
Current: Adoption of ISO standards for sustainability, such as ISO 20400 (Sustainable Procurement) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems).
Future: The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and potential international agreements will set global standards for sustainability.
At NIRI, we help nonwoven construction brands navigate these regulatory landscapes by developing innovative, compliant, and sustainable products.
