Report shows rising demand for geosynthetics

Infrastructure development and construction in Russia, China and India will drive global demand for 6.9 billion square yards of geosynthetic fabric by 2015, according to a report by Global Industry Analysts Inc., San Jose, Calif. The research report, “Geosynthetics: A Global Strategic Business Report,” bases its conclusions on the success of geosynthetics in enhancing durability of roads, improving drainage systems and stabilizing erosion, often at a lower cost than use of traditional materials. Other growth areas for geosynthetics include landfills and waste containment areas for agricultural operations. Order the report at www.strategyr.com.
