Australia Geosynthetics Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% in terms of revenue during 2025-2031

Waste Management by Application held the highest revenue share in Australia Geosynthetics Market -6Wresearch

In 2024, waste management dominated Australia’s geosynthetics market as stricter environmental regulations drove the need for advanced landfill liners, leachate control systems, and containment solutions. Projects such as Hogan’s Pocket Landfill upgrades emphasized the use of geomembranes and geotextiles to meet sustainability goals. Rising focus on the National Waste Policy Action Plan 2024 further fueled demand.

Transportation infrastructure ranked second due to extensive use of geosynthetics in soil stabilization, erosion control, and drainage across major rail and road infrastructure projects such as Inland Rail and WestConnex.

According to 6Wresearch, Australia Geosynthetics Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% in terms of revenue during 2025-2031. The Australia geosynthetics market experienced notable fluctuations between 2021 and 2024, although overall demand remained strong. In 2022, the market grew significantly, primarily driven by a surge in infrastructure activities supported by major government investments in transport, water management, and waste management sectors. Large-scale projects such as Inland Rail, Sydney and Melbourne airport upgrades, and Hogan’s Pocket Landfill modernization accelerated the use of geosynthetic materials for soil stabilization, drainage, erosion control, and environmental protection.

Additionally, water infrastructure projects under the National Water Grid Fund, launched in September 2019, boosted the use of geotextiles and geomembranes in dams and irrigation systems, exemplified by initiatives such as the Wyangala Dam Wall Raising and Rookwood Weir. However, in 2023, the market saw a major decline due to reduced imports of geosynthetic products, impacted by global supply chain disruptions, tightening trade conditions and a slowdown in construction activity driven by rising interest rates. A further slight decline in 2024 was also attributed to continued import challenges and slower project commencements. Despite these short-term contractions, the Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP), allocated for transport development, and stricter environmental regulations promoting sustainable construction, continued to provide a strong foundation for geosynthetics demand across landfill, water management, and transport projects.

In the coming years, substantial investments in rail civil construction and maintenance works, coupled with the expansion of major airports such as Perth Airport, are poised to drive significant growth in the geosynthetics market. Additionally, the 2024 National Waste Policy Action Plan also emphasizes improved landfill design and containment by 2030, boosting the demand for geosynthetic liners and barriers. These developments are expected to increase the demand for advanced geosynthetic solutions, particularly for soil stabilization, erosion control, and drainage applications.

According to Bhawna, Assistant Manager Research, 6Wresearch, geotextiles led Australia’s geosynthetics market due to their widespread use in road construction, rail projects, and soil stabilization applications, supported by major infrastructure investments. Their versatility in filtration, separation, and reinforcement made them essential across transport and civil works. Additionally, government emphasis on sustainable construction further boosted geotextile adoption.

Geomembranes ranked second owing to their critical role in landfill lining, water reservoir containment, and dam projects, aligning with Australia’s focus on water conservation and waste management.
