by Geocells are three-dimensional mat structures made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene plastic that form column and walls when filled with compacted earth or aggregate materials to contain soil during vegetative establishment and slope protection. Geocells are used in a variety of civil engineering and construction applications such as filling around structures, shoreline protection, erosion control, tree planting, constructing roads and stabilization of new and existing infrastructure. The comprehensive geocell design protects soil from wind and water erosion, and supports vegetation growth to enhance soil strength and stabilize slopes.
The global Geocells market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1915 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Geocells have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional slope stabilization methods as they provide numerous benefits over other engineered methods like concrete retaining walls. The increasing cost of construction projects and raw materials along with infrastructure development is driving the demand for cost-effective geocell solution. Geocells are a recyclable material that can be reused and refilled for other construction projects reducing construction waste. Manufacturers are also developing innovative geocell designs that are suitable for variable soil conditions and can support rehabilitation of problematic sites. In addition, geocells are being widely adopted in landscaping projects like building green roofs and parks to prevent soil erosion and support vegetation growth.
