Geotextiles will remain the largest segment, while more application-specific products (e.g., geogrids, geonets, geosynthetic clay liners, geofoams) will grow the fastest. This study analyzes the 915 million square yard US geosynthetics industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2002, 2007 and 2012, and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 by product (e.g., geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geonets, geosynthetic clay liners, preformed geocomposites), market (e.g., transportation infrastructure, construction, landfills, liquid containment, mining, oil and gas, coal ash containment) and region. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 40 industry players such as GSE Holding, Propex, and Tensar.
