Fiber Cement Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing construction activities globally is notably driving the fiber cement market growth, although factors such as the high cost of fiber cement when compared to its substitutes may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the fiber cement industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Fiber Cement Market Driver
The increasing construction activities globally is one of the key drivers supporting the fiber cement market growth. For instance, China- Beijing International Airport is expected to surpass Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport in cost, total square miles, and passenger and plane capacity. The first phase of the project was completed in 2008 and further expansion is expected to be complete by 2025. Such growth in the demand for residential and commercial spaces propel the need for fiber cement as it is extensively used in various construction applications such as siding, trimming, and others. Siding and roofing made of fiber cement guard the external walls of buildings against harsh weather conditions such as sunlight, rain, snow, and wind. It also mimics the look of wood and improves the aesthetic of buildings. Owing to such benefits, an increasing number of homeowners and builders are opting for fiber cement products, thereby propelling the growth of the global fiber cement market.
Key Fiber Cement Market Trend
The application of fiber-reinforced concrete in designing road pavement is another factor supporting the fiber cement market growth. The primary advantage of fiber-reinforced concrete is that it reduces the cracking of surfaces, which is the result of plastic deformation and shrinkage while drying. Therefore, it is expected to be used in the construction of pavements, which are constantly exposed to heavy loads and high-performance surfaces. In addition, fiber-reinforced concrete is expected to be extensively used in the construction of underground tunnels as fiber-mixed concrete reduces fluid permeability and increases the ductile strength of tunnel walls. Thus, it is expected that fiber-reinforced concrete will witness demand for the construction of pavements during the forecast period.
Key Fiber Cement Market Challenge
The high cost of fiber cement is one of the factors hindering the fiber cement market growth. The overall cost of any construction project is an important parameter. The average cost of fiber cement siding is around $10 per square foot, including installation, which is approximately double the cost of vinyl siding, its substitute. Such high cost makes fiber cement sidings economically and financially unfeasible, especially in emerging economies. It also hinders purchases by price-sensitive consumers and increases their propensity toward cost-effective product offerings such as vinyl siding. This is a major challenge for the global fiber cement market as it is functionally dependent on the sales of fiber cement siding globally. Such challenges will limit the market growth during the forecast period.
This fiber cement market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
