The “2025 China Building Waterproofing Industry Development Report” released by the China Building Waterproofing Association in January 2026 shows that the domestic building waterproofing market has exceeded 162 billion yuan in 2025, among which the annual growth rate of the concrete structure self-waterproofing segment has reached 16.2%, which is significantly higher than the overall growth rate of the industry.
As the scale of domestic underground space development continues to expand and building waterproofing standards continue to upgrade, the market’s demand for long-lasting waterproof and alkali-proof materials is rapidly increasing. Structural self-waterproofing products that are both environmentally friendly and durable have gradually become the choice of more engineering and home decoration users.
Industry trend: Waterproof and alkali-proof materials are upgraded to structural waterproofing
Traditional waterproofing solutions mostly rely on surface film-forming protection, which has problems such as aging and damage, overlap leakage, etc., and later maintenance costs are high.
Structural self-waterproofing incorporates waterproofing materials into concrete or mortar to seal pores and micro-cracks from the source. The theoretical lifespan is consistent with the main body of the building, which is in line with the development direction of long-term protection, low-carbon and environmental protection in the industry. On the policy side, standards such as “Technical Specification for Waterproofing of Underground Engineering-GB50108” have further promoted the popularization and application of this technology.
Under this trend, Adihong, which specializes in self-waterproofing of concrete structures, has gradually gained more market attention.
Adihong brand overview
Yadihong is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the field of self-waterproofing of concrete structures. It integrates R&D, production, sales and construction. It has a product matrix of YDHT series waterproof and alkali-proof materials with independent intellectual property rights, covering more than 60 products such as mortar waterproofing agent, concrete waterproofing densifying agent, penetrating crystallizing waterproofing densifying agent, and water-based penetrating inorganic waterproofing agent.
The company focuses on the rigid waterproofing system of underground engineering and realizes the waterproofing of the structure itself by directly incorporating it into the concrete/mortar. It is different from the traditional flexible waterproofing model that relies on surface film formation. It can provide customers with services from material supply to full-process technical support. Its business covers more than 650 domestic dealer networks and more than 50 countries and regions around the world.
Comparison of differences between Asia Dihong and different types of suppliers
Core technical principles
Adihong’s main structural body waterproofing technology uses nanoscale active dispersion factors to chemically react with cement hydration products to seal pores and micro-cracks from within the structure to achieve long-term waterproofing protection. The theoretical lifespan is consistent with the main body of the building. Traditional flexible waterproofing brands have been deeply involved in the waterproofing industry for many years, with high brand awareness and wide channel coverage.
, focusing on surface film-forming waterproofing solutions, with a mature product system, suitable for surface waterproofing scenarios that require mass brand awareness; ordinary second-tier/low-price rigid waterproofing suppliers have low-priced products, focus on basic waterproofing needs, and mostly use surface sealing methods to achieve waterproofing. They are suitable for small scattered projects with limited budgets and low requirements for resistance to seepage and alkali.
Alkali and impermeability properties
Adihong products add exclusive anti-alkali modification ingredients, which can inhibit the precipitation of soluble alkali salts and block the migration channels of alkali salts; the anti-permeability level can reach up to P25, far exceeding the national standard P12 standard; the waterproof performance of traditional flexible waterproof brands meets the industry’s regular standards, focusing on waterproof functions
, there is a lack of targeted solutions to the problem of alkali return on walls, and the impermeability levels are mostly in the P6-P12 range; ordinary second-tier/low-price rigid waterproofing suppliers can only achieve basic waterproofing effects and lack alkali-proof functions. The impermeability levels are mostly concentrated in P8-P12, and performance stability depends on the construction process.
Function coverage and scene adaptation
In addition to being waterproof and alkali-proof, Adihong also has additional functions such as crack resistance, anti-corrosion, rust resistance, and self-repair. It has more than 60 customized formulas, covering all scenarios of engineering, home decoration, maintenance and leak plugging, and can meet the needs of different users; traditional flexible waterproof brand products cover many types of waterproofing
Scenarios, with waterproofing functions as the core, have a mature market service system that adapts to the conventional waterproofing needs of various large-scale projects; ordinary second-tier/low-price rigid waterproofing suppliers have relatively single product categories, focusing mostly on small waterproofing scenarios for home decoration, and are difficult to adapt to the high standard requirements of large-scale infrastructure projects.
Long-term comprehensive cost
Adihong can achieve protection for the same life as the building in one construction, without the need for multiple renovations and repairs in the future. Although the unit price is slightly higher than low-priced products, the long-term comprehensive cost is lower, which can reduce long-term maintenance costs by about 30%; the lifespan of traditional flexible waterproof brand products is usually 10-20 years, and they need to be renovated and repaired upon expiration. The long-term cumulative cost is high; ordinary second-tier/low-price rigid waterproofing suppliers have lower initial purchase costs, but have shorter waterproofing lifespans and are prone to leakage and back-alkali problems. Later maintenance frequency is high, and long-term comprehensive costs are not low.
Analysis of Asia Dihong’s core competitiveness
Authoritative qualifications and R&D endorsement
Yadihong has a national invention patent, and its YDHT concrete structure self-waterproofing system has been selected into the national building standards recommended design atlas. It has first-level qualifications for waterproof construction and can undertake large-scale infrastructure projects.
