The global geotextile tube market size was exhibited at USD 3,119 million in 2024 and is projected to hit around USD 8,164 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2024 to 2034.
The geotextile tube market refers to the production, distribution, and use of this tube, which is a large, tube-shaped bag made of porous, weather-resistant geotextile and filled with a sand slurry to form an artificial coastal structure like breakwaters, dune, or levee. These tubes are a component of the living shorelines that proceed towards coastal management.
These tubes have been used to protect shorelines, reclaim land, and rebuild beaches for years. They can also used to create sand dune cores, breakwaters, underwater structures, and more. There is a high demand for these tubes in applications like marine, construction, pulp & paper mills, aquacultures, agricultures, and wastewater treatment, which is driving the growth of the geotextile tube market.
However, the restraining factors of the market include regulatory concerns, the need for continuous innovation, rapidly evolving technologies, and high competition that can limit the growth of the market. The future scope of the market includes the adoption of advanced technologies like automation, IoT, and AI, digital transformation, and investment in sustainable solutions, which will help the growth of the geotextile tube market.
