Geotextiles, when used in association with soil have the ability to filter, separate, reinforce, drain or protect. Geotextiles are generally permeable fabrics and are made of polyester. Three major forms of geotextiles are needle punched, woven or heat bonded. Major applications of geotextiles are in environmental and geotechnical engineering such as road construction, embankments, canals, dams, railroads among others. Moreover, geotextiles are generally used as an alternative to granular soil filters. According to ASAE (Society for Engineering in Agricultural, Food, and Biological Systems), geotextile is “A permeable geosynthetic comprised solely of textiles. Geotextiles are used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical engineering-related material as an integral part of human-made project, structure, or system.” Geotextile is an emerging segment of the geosynthetic market.
Currently, the world geotextiles market is witnessing a rapid growth due to stringent government regulations on the commercial use of geotextiles. Moreover, due to various functional advantages over other materials, global demand for geotextiles is increasing which in turn is driving the overall market. Furthermore, increasing population, rapid urbanization and increasing investments in infrastructural developments are some major factors fueling the growth of the world geotextiles market. On the other hand, less awareness among consumers and less abundance of raw materials are some key factors hampering the growth of the market.
