Overview of the global building panels materials market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global building panels materials market will grow at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the increase in demand for VIPs in emerging economies as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Demand for vacuum insulated panels (VIPs) has increased due to challenges such as lack of proper warehousing facilities, lack of proper infrastructure, minimal logistic support, limited presence of service providers, and the lack of skilled workers faced by cold chain vendors that lead to the wastage of food products especially in the emerging countries. The steady growth of the organized retail sector has influenced advancements in cold chain facilities to prevent the wastage of food. This demands the need for increasing the capacity of refrigerated warehouses, which will in turn, influence the growth of this global market.

One of the major trends that will gain traction in the building panel materials market in the coming years is the use of industrial waste. The use of industrial wastes reduces the cost of construction and is eco-friendly. Waste paper pulp can be used to replace cement in the concrete mixer and industrial wastes can be used to create decorative wall panels. Wall panels created using ecofriendly materials such as sawdust, tire shreds, waste papers, cardboards, and styrofoam are cost-effective and requires less labor.  Additionally, these materials are lightweight and they can be easily integrated with the other materials.
