Rise in Construction Activity will Spur Demand for Building Materials, According to a New Report Published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2008 -- Globally, market for building materials is driven by trends in construction industry and stricter environmental legislation (CO2 emissions). Increasing industrialization and rising living standards in developing countries of Asia, Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America will be key factors for growth in building materials. Rising income levels, government initiatives to encourage construction of energy-efficient buildings will also create opportunities for building materials (http://www.strategyr.com/Building_Materials_Industry_Market_Report.asp) market.
Global building materials industry is highly fragmented due to the availability of wide range of building materials and large number of suppliers. With growing end-users' penchant for aesthetically rich building materials, manufacturers and suppliers are continuously on lookout for new designs, shapes styles to satisfy their variety-seeking clientele. Inter-segment competition has warmed-up due to the rise of plastics as cheaper and better alternatives to metals, glass and wood in construction. Although market for green building materials currently accounts for minuscule of the global building materials market, the trend is expected to pick up in imminent years due to rising interest in eco-friendly green buildings.
Production and use of engineered wood products (EWPs) such as glued laminated timber or glulam is growing across the world. Engineered wood products scores over other traditional building materials based on the superior functional benefits, eco-friendly features and low cost. Structural wood I-beams and LVL are predominantly in demand in North America because of extensive use of wood-frame structures and the facility to alter their features. In Europe, application in structural and nonstructural ends in commercial and residential markets is fueling engineered wood products (http://www.strategyr.com/Building_Materials_Industry_Market_Report.asp) market.
North America, Western Europe and Asia-Pacific regions account for lion's share of the worldwide cement and concrete additive market. Despite slow economic recovery and sluggish residential construction activity, demand for the cement and concrete additives in developed nations will continue to increase based on wide applications, albeit at a slower pace.
