The global construction output is estimated to witness more than 30% growth rate till 2030, which can be mainly contributed to rising construction activities in the U.S., China, and European countries. The U.S. recorded a significant increase in average annual growth rate of new building permit, housing starts, and housing completion units in April 2021. Further, the country has reported moderate increase in private and public spending on construction activities in the same year.
 

Fiber cement boards are becoming a popular choice of homeowners owing to their superior characteristics of excellent inflammability, high durability, and better aesthetics. This product offers protection against moisture, thermal, and acoustic insulation, enhancing its usage in the industry. However, the installation cost of the product exceeds significantly as compared to vinyl or wood siding, which may reduce its popularity in the developing countries.
 

COVID-19 pandemic to marginally affect to the global sales volume of fiber cement

Ongoing coronavirus pandemic has substantially dropped construction activities around the globe impacting the overall fiber cement market volume in 2020. The building material sector has seen a huge drop in terms of trade led by government restrictions over international movement of commodities across major parts of the world. This has significantly reduced the consumption level of this product in North America and Europe. Since China holds the largest share in world’s portland cement production, the fiber cement demand has been affected in the countries relying on imports of building materials. Moreover, the market is likely to recover post 2021 due to increase in construction activities and reestablishment of trade movement between countries.
 

Siding to dominate the global market share

The siding application segment is poised to hold above 70% of the fiber cement market share by 2027 on account of the increasing replacement of asbestos cladding in the U.S. over past few years. The U.S. government has implemented ban on the usage of asbestos between 1970 and 1980, driving the market demand. fiber cement is cost-effective and possesses better thickness as compared to vinyl siding, fueling market revenue.
 

The new construction segment will depict higher growth rate

New construction is anticipated to register around 5% CAGR through 2027. The key advantage of using fiber cement in new construction is attributed to their lesser susceptibility to rotting and excellent protection against humidity levels & moisture. These products can be installed in the form of siding, facades, condo complexes, government buildings, etc., which will further boost the fiber cement industry development.
