Global Fiber Cement Market Size study with COVID-19 Impact, by Raw Material (Portland Cement, Silica, Cellulosic Fiber, Others), Application (Siding, Roofing, Cladding, Molding and Trimming, Others), Construction Sector (Residential and Non-residential) and Regional Forecasts 2020-2026.

Global Fiber Cement Market is valued approximately USD 15.80 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.2% over the forecast period 2019-2026. The fiber cement is considered as a material which affixes to the exterior of both residential and commercial spaces due to its characteristics as resistance to wear and tear to concrete along with benefiting the residential space by keeping it sustainable from harsh elements of the environment. The residential sector is the primary user of fiber cement. 

The fiber cement market is primarily driven owing to surging construction sector which include both residential and commercial spaces, escalating number of smart city projects, rising disposable income of the individuals along with housing projects initiatives by the central governments. However, the impact of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the infrastructure development and construction activities in both developed and developing countries and would continue to do so due to shortage of labor and the impact of this pandemic would result into the rise in prices of fiber cements ultimately leading to restraining the development and growth of fiber cement in the coming months.

 Moreover, the surging construction sector which include both residential and commercial spaces is acting as key factor towards the utility and adoption of fiber cement as fiber cement are majorly used in the exterior applications of housing and buildings.

 For instance: According to International Construction Market Survey, the growth rate of construction industry globally in the year 2017 was estimated to be around 3.5% and it was estimated to reach to 3.9% (approx.) in the year 2018. In addition, as per the annual report of European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) in 2017, it is  stated that construction activity in entire Europe grew by around 2.2% in the year 2016 (reaching approximately 1,278 billion Euro) compared to the year 2015. Similarly, in the year 2017, a similar surge is forecasted (more than 2%) followed by increase of 3% in the year 2018 resulting into positively influencing the development and growth of fiber cement market. However, high cost of fiber cements as compared to traditional cements impedes the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2020-2026.

The regional analysis of global Fiber Cement market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. North America is the leading/significant region across the world in terms of market share owing to the surging construction sector which include both residential and commercial spaces along with rising disposable income of the individuals. Whereas, Asia-Pacific is also anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate / CAGR over the forecast period 2020-2026. Factors such as escalating number of smart city projects along with government initiatives such as housing projects would create lucrative growth prospects for the Fiber Cement market across Asia-Pacific region.
