Construction Equipment and Engineering Services Of The Year 2025
As Europe’s construction sector embraces sustainability and technological innovation, waterproofing and flooring systems are stepping into a more strategic role. No longer just functional layers, they are critical to enhancing structural integrity, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance. Advances in materials and installation techniques are transforming these systems into high-performance solutions, quietly shaping the future of resilient, future-ready buildings across the continent.
Reports state that the European waterproofing membranes market, valued at $5.7946 billion in 2022, is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4 percent from 2023 to 2030, and the European flooring market, valued at $4.12 billion in 2025, is expected to reach $4.78 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 3.03 percent.
Fuelling this growth, a wave of advanced technologies is reshaping waterproofing and flooring systems, turning once-basic materials into smart, next-generation solutions. Nanotechnology-based coatings provide ultra-water-repellent, UV- and mould-resistant protection, significantly extending surface life and reducing maintenance. IoTenabled membranes and flooring systems feature embedded sensors that allow real-time monitoring and early detection of moisture or structural stress. Precision-engineered drop-lock flooring delivers watertight seams and faster installation without adhesives, improving both durability and on-site efficiency.
This edition of Construction Business Review Europe explores how waterproofing and flooring systems are evolving from background components to strategic assets within the built environment, reflecting the industry’s broader shift toward smarter, future-focused construction practices.
It features insights from Marco Cici, head of design technology at JRL Group Ltd, who highlights how strategic use of technology, combined with a mindset of continuous learning, can drive tangible transformation across the construction industry. Ricardo Rosa, director of digital business development at Sonae Sierra, emphasizes that implementing BIM across the real estate lifecycle streamlines project execution and improves transparency, ultimately driving more informed decisions and long-term value.
We hope this edition offers a fresh perspective on how these oftenoverlooked systems are gaining strategic relevance in shaping the future of construction across Europe.
