Geogrid is a geosynthetic material formed by combining the intersecting ribs and it is used to stabilize aterrain. Geogrids are mainly made up of polymers such as polyester, high-density polyethylene, and polypropylene. Geogrids are used as a base reinforcement to retain subsoils below roads and to reinforce retaining walls of a structure. The physical properties of geogrid such as minimal elongation with high tensile modulus and high tensile strength, make it a material of choice to be used as a reinforcement material.

In 2019, Asia Pacific contributed to the largest share in the global geogrid market. The growing use of geogrids in the emerging economies such as China and India due to rise in infrastructure investments, development of rail, and increase in road construction & maintenance activities is anticipated to drive the geogrid market in the region. The governments in the region are taking various initiatives to attract investments in industrial development. Economies such as India and China are attracting investors in the long term. For instance, governments of these countries focus on attracting FDIs by taking several initiatives such as signing international bilateral agreements, entering into public/private partnerships, and improving base and logistics and social use infrastructure, and other such initiatives. Thus, several government initiatives for the industrial development provide a huge market opportunity for the expansion of the geogrids market in this region. In addition, the ever-growing development of transportation sector in India, Japan, and China is also favoring the future growth and value of this market. The growing consumer awareness regarding product applications for soil-reinforcement in addition to its eco-friendly nature, will further accelerate market growth.

Superior Properties Associated with Geogrids

Geogrids have various properties which includes minimal elongation, along with high tensile strength and tensile modulus, which makes them beneficial for soil reinforcement. The use of geogrids to the soil or other geotechnical materials will help create a composite material. Thus, due to the various properties of geogrid, there is a wide range of applications where it has been used. Geogrids are used in various applications such as retaining walls, which are used in foundation soil, pavement construction, energy sector, landfill construction, and many more. The use of geogrids for restraining walls is basically in soil backfills. The ability of holding the soil together will help in stabilizing the retaining wall construction and thus, by using geogrids, the structural integrity of the soil can be increased. It is used in building strong retaining walls for both permanent and temporary solutions. Geogrids are used to stabilize the soil mainly in the shallow foundation. The geogrids interlock with the structural fill, providing a strong foundation, which will improve the stability of the weakest soil.
