The Global Geotextile Tubes Market Size is valued at 4.87 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 10.96 billion by the year 2031 at an 10.87% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the report:
- Geotextile pipes are increasingly used for coastal protection and act as an effective barrier against erosion, storm surges, and rising sea levels.
- Stringent environmental regulations and increasing awareness of environmental issues are driving the adoption of geotextile tubes.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of global revenue in 2023.
- Due to lack of awareness about the benefits and uses of geotextile pipes, they are not widely used, hence retraining market growth.
Permeable geotextiles are used to create cylindrical geotextile tubes, which are engineered constructions. They are covered with gabions, filled with materials like slurry or sand, and made of high-tenacity polypropylene yarns. Geotextile tubes show resistance to biological, ultraviolet (UV), and rotting damage. As they are resistant to chemicals, acids, and alkalis, they also help to increase stability and reduce wind and water erosion. Since they help to reduce and prevent the leakage of contaminants into the environment during the processing, transit, and final disposal of contaminants, geotextile tubes are frequently used for shoreline protection, dewatering, desludging, dredging materials, mining waste, and erosion control applications.
Because of this, geotextile tubes are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, agricultural, marine, and wastewater treatment. These tubes are constructed on-site by hydraulically pumping local soil into prefabricated geotextile tubes, resulting in a solid, continuous construction that is very resistant to water currents.
The geotextile tubes are perfect for applications involving sludge removal or dewatering. Dewatering and desludging, as well as protection, are accomplished using geotextile tubes, also known as geotubes, geobags, soil tubes, geo containers, or dewatering bags. These tubes are typically produced from woven or nonwoven polypropylene/polyester yarns and are used in the maritime, environmental, and agricultural industries. They are impervious to chemical, alkaline, and acid deterioration as well as biological, UV, and rotting degradation. All these factors drive the geotextile tubes market growth.
Recent Developments:
- In June 2023, TenCate Geosynthetics was acquired by Canadian geosynthetics company Solmax for an undisclosed sum. With this acquisition, Solmax geotextile solutions fully meet the requirements of infrastructure applications.
- In October 2023, Owens Corning, a global leader in building and construction materials, will invest $24.5 million to expand nonwoven geotextile production in Arkansas.

Market Segmentation:
The geotextile tube market is segmented into material and end-use industry. Based on material, the market is bifurcated into woven geotextile tubes and non-woven geotextile tubes. On the basis of the end-use industry, the market is segmented as wastewater treatment, agriculture, aquaculture, pulp and paper mills, construction, marine, and others.
Based On Material, The Non-Woven Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Geotextile Tubes Industry
The largest market share for geotextile tubes was held by the non-woven category. It is anticipated that non-woven segments will be created by needle punching through weaving, heating, and chemically gluing fibers together. Due to their improved porosity, these materials are typically used in filters or separation systems. The expansion of the geotextile tube market is anticipated to be fuelled by their expanding use in structural applications.
The Marine Segment Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate
The maritime end-use category took the lead in the product market. The main reason boosting the segment's expansion is rising investment in initiatives to conserve coastal areas and revitalize beaches. Additionally, the category is growing as a result of increased product usage in the construction of flood control structures.
In The Region, The Asia Pacific Geotextile Tubes Market Holds Significant Revenue Share
The Asia Pacific region dominated the market in 2021. Geotextiles that are cylinder-shaped are made of permeable materials. In the Asia Pacific region, it is predicted that the construction industry will contribute significantly to the market's overall growth for geotextile tubes. This is explained by the increased use of geotextile tubes and mats in India's road construction projects. To prevent the aggregate layers from sinking into the subsurface, geotextiles are used as a separator between the subsoil and aggregate layer of roads.
In addition, about significant share of the global geotextile tube market was located in Europe. When it comes to launching several projects to stop coastal erosion, Europe has been at the forefront. The country's growing urbanization is encouraging significant expenditures in development projects including road building and maintenance, which is driving the geotextile tubes market expansion. Additional government measures to bridge the gap between rural and urban settings responsibly can be linked to the market growth in the area.
