Global geogrids market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period 2024–2031, growing from USD 1.51 billion in 2023 to USD 2.35 billion in 2031. Geogrids are progressively benefitting in areas such as transportation, waste drainage systems, and road pathways. For instance, according to the recent data published by the Association of American Railroads, freight rail has become an integrated network of trains and trucks across the United States that substantially transports around 61 tons of essential goods per year.

The rising demand for crude oil and gas across the United States is accelerating the growth of the market. For instance, according to the recent statistics published by the Association of American Railroads, in 2022, the United States transported around 650 barrels of crude oil using country’s Class I railroads.
The geogrids market is experiencing massive growth due to the rising business of construction, pipeline projects, and erosion control in the soil solution. Geogrids comprise peculiar structures that are extensively used for reinforcement purposes and successively provide the required strength to reinforce the filling material to confine the soil particles. The newly designed geogrids are optimized with geometrical dimensions for providing maximum confinement of granular fill generating an effective stabilized layer. Severe weather conditions and challenging environment scenarios are disastrous for soil confinement and slopy areas where geogrids are more resilient to such prevailing conditions and can withstand them for a longer period. Consequently, the growing demand to build extensive rail and road networks is propelling the growth of the geogrids market.
Transformation and Development of Long-Range Roads are Accomplished Using Geogrids
The growth and economy of any country depend on the network connectivity covering the entire region. Expressways and highways are significantly bringing every remote location to the upfront and advanced cities which requires massive road construction and its durability. The lifespan of roads and pavements depend on various unfavorable factors, traffic loads, subgrade soil conditions, etc. Geogrids are generally composed of polymers that potentially provide structural integrity by confining granular fill and uniform load distribution over surfaces. In road construction, geogrids provide remarkable tensile strength that subsequently holds the soil together, ultimately enhancing the load-carrying capacity. Companies are progressively developing advanced geogrids for reducing road construction costs, project time, and carbon emissions to meet sustainability goals. Flexible and rigid paved roads prominently require a stable concrete foundation which can be accomplished using sustainable geogrid. Hence, the overall positive market factors like long-range road connectivity are contributing to the growth of the geogrids market.
For instance, in 2022, the Biden administration cleared a huge amount of USD 550 billion to substantially upgrade various infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, dams, etc. Data published by the International Transport Forum (ITF) progressively states that over the last decade, the European Union government has spent over USD 318 billion every year on transportation networks. In addition, in 2020, around 87.2% of inland passenger transport across the European Union was carried by traveling cars followed by buses, coaches, and trolleybuses accounting for 7.4%.

Incorporation of Geogrids for Stabilizing the Rail Track Substructure
For any country, railway infrastructure is always an economical mode of transportation, especially with the rising traffic congestion that substantially led to the increasing demand for high-speed railway lines. The construction of rail networks involves problems associated with the soil composition and prevailing environmental conditions. Geogrids are suitable materials for the construction of massive rail tracks that significantly reduce the deformation over the long network, further reducing necessary maintenance. Under immense load, the deformation and degradation response of applied geogrid is tested to assess and evaluate the performance of stabilized rail structures. Geogrids are generally placed between the existing formation and the ballast layer, significantly leading to structural integrity. Hence, the geogrids market is anticipated to experience massive growth due to the growing infrastructure of rail projects either goods carrier or human movement.
For instance, according to the Association of American Railroads, the United States has invested in freight railroads averaging over USD 23 billion every year for the past five years. The freight rail network across the United States is nearly 140,000 miles covering the entire country, comprising 49 states where the short lines complete over 44,000 route miles and Class I railroads running over 92,000 route miles. Likewise, the Federal Highway Administration estimated that the total United States freight movements will substantially increase from around 19.3 billion tons in 2020 to a huge 25.1 billion tons in 2040, which is a massive 30% rise.
