The waterproofing membrane market is projected to grow at a strong 6.0% CAGR, driven by increased demand for waterproofing solutions across construction and renovation activities. Market growth is primarily fueled by two key factors: rising urban development and infrastructure projects in the Asia Pacific, and the growing focus on building durability standards and moisture protection. Additionally, awareness of the cost benefits from advanced waterproofing technologies is boosting adoption. The development of membrane technologies, including liquid-applied systems, hybrid solutions, and sustainable formulations, enables their use in roofing, basements, tunnels, and building applications. The market continues to grow steadily due to increasing renovation work in established markets, the need for buildings to withstand extreme weather, and a general rise in spending on building envelope solutions, which drives revenue across all sectors regions.

The liquid-applied membrane segment has the largest market share in the waterproofing membrane market during the forecast period.

The waterproofing membranes market shows that liquid-applied membranes hold the largest market share because their flexible design allows for use in complex building shapes and various materials during both new construction and restoration projects. Liquid-applied systems form a continuous barrier that prevents leaks through their seamless design, connecting without joints to all existing building materials. The product has achieved global success due to its simple application process and its ability to form strong bonds on various surfaces, including rooftops, balconies, podium decks, basement areas, and building infrastructure. The waterproofing market continues to prioritize liquid-applied membranes as the main industry driver because increasing demand exists for waterproofing solutions that offer extended durability, require minimal maintenance, and meet environmental standards.

'The new construction segment holds the largest share in the waterproofing membrane market during the forecast period'.

The new construction segment holds the dominant market share in the waterproofing membranes market due to ongoing worldwide investments in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Emerging economies are experiencing rapid urban growth, while the development of smart cities, transportation networks, and industrial facilities is increasing the demand for waterproofing solutions that architects and builders require during construction. Developers are increasingly specifying advanced membrane systems—such as liquid-applied and thermoplastic sheet membranes—to ensure long-term structural durability, compliance with evolving building codes, and lower lifecycle maintenance costs. The new-build segment continues to hold a revenue advantage over refurbishment activities because waterproofing must be installed at the start of construction for foundations, roofing, and below-grade structures in high-growth areas of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Europe is expected to be the third-largest market during the forecast period.

Europe ranks as the third-largest market for waterproofing membranes because the region combines established construction standards with effective regulatory systems that enforce building durability and energy efficiency requirements, along with its advanced renovation system. Demand from countries such as Germany, France, the UK, and Italy is growing because these nations need waterproofing upgrades to extend building lifespan while improving thermal efficiency for their existing residential and commercial structures. The adoption of low-VOC recyclable membrane systems, which deliver high performance, is driven by European Union sustainable development regulations and green building programs that encourage eco-friendly practices. Although the European market experiences slower growth compared to Asia-Pacific markets, its strict product requirements, high-end product demand, and the extensive presence of international waterproofing companies enable Europe to maintain a significant share of the global market revenue.

USB-Panne mit 2048 Stimmen: Strafverfahren und Moratorium in Basel-Stadt

13.03.2026


Die Panne im E-Voting-System des Kantons Basel-Stadt setzt dem digitalen Abstimmen in der Schweiz vorerst enge Grenzen – aber nicht überall. Nachdem bei der eidgenössischen Volksabstimmung vom 8. März 2026 insgesamt 2048 elektronisch abgegebene Stimmen in Basel-Stadt wegen einer nicht entschlüsselbaren «elektronischen Urne» verloren gingen, stoppt der Stadtkanton seinen Versuchsbetrieb bis Ende 2026. Die Bundeskanzlei spricht von einer schweren Verletzung der politischen Rechte der Betroffenen, sieht derzeit aber keinen Anlass, den gesamtschweizerischen Versuchsbetrieb grundsätzlich infrage zu stellen.

Auslöser des Vorfalls war nach kantonalen Angaben ein Problem im Umgang mit einem USB-Datenträger, der im Auszählprozess eine Rolle spielte. Die Folge: Sämtliche elektronisch eingereichten Stimmen aus Basel-Stadt – darunter zahlreiche Auslandschweizerinnen und -schweizer – konnten nicht gezählt werden. Angesichts der klaren provisorischen Abstimmungsergebnisse schliessen die Behörden aus, dass sich die Mehrheitsentscheide dadurch verändert hätten. Politisch unverändert bleibt der Schaden dennoch erheblich: Stimmberechtigte wie die im Elsass wohnhafte Christine D'Souza kritisieren die späte Information und prüfen rechtliche Schritte wegen Verletzung ihrer politischen Rechte.

Der Regierungsrat von Basel-Stadt will die Ursachen des Vorfalls extern untersuchen lassen; die Staatsanwaltschaft hat wegen eines Anfangsverdachts auf ein Offizialdelikt ein Strafverfahren eröffnet. Parallel dazu hat der Kanton seine Teilnahme am E-Voting-Versuchsbetrieb bis zum 31. Dezember 2026 ausgesetzt, um Abläufe zu überprüfen und Korrekturmassnahmen zu erarbeiten. Die Bundeskanzlei begrüsst sowohl die externe Analyse als auch das strafrechtliche Vorgehen und betont, es müssten alle notwendigen Schritte unternommen werden, um eine Wiederholung zu verhindern.

Während Basel auf die Bremse tritt, halten andere Versuchskantone demonstrativ Kurs. Thurgau, Graubünden und St. Gallen erklärten in einer gemeinsamen Mitteilung, sie führten ihre Pilotprojekte mit dem E-Voting-System der Schweizerischen Post unverändert weiter. Das System habe sich seit 2023 in allen Wahlen und Abstimmungen bewährt, heisst es. Auch am 8. März sei der Einsatz in den beteiligten Gemeinden, darunter Amriswil und Bischofszell, problemlos verlaufen. Der Basler Vorfall habe nichts mit dem E-Voting-System als solchem zu tun, sondern sei auf die Handhabung einer externen Komponente, eben jenes USB-Sticks, zurückzuführen.

Bund und Kantone verweisen darauf, dass sich E-Voting weiterhin in einem bewusst eng gefassten Versuchsbetrieb befindet. Dieser sei darauf ausgelegt, technische und organisatorische Schwachstellen frühzeitig zu identifizieren und Prozesse laufend zu verbessern. Gleichwohl warnen Politologen vor einem möglichen Vertrauensverlust in der Bevölkerung: Die Basler Panne liefert Gegnern des elektronischen Abstimmens ein anschauliches Beispiel für Risiken und dürfte die politische Debatte um Tempo und Umfang des weiteren Ausbaus verschärfen – gerade in jenen Kantonen, die ihr digitales Angebot eigentlich ausweiten wollten.
