Cement Board Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Fiber Cement Board (FCB), Wood Wool Cement Board (WWCB), Wood Strand Cement Board (WSCB) and Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB)), Product Finishing (Anodized, Powder Coated and Mill-Finished), Application, and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cement Board Market is accounted for $570.06 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $865.14 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Cement boards are a flexible building material made from naturally available minerals and diverse fibres. They have a high level of durability and impact resistance. These boards are mostly utilised in the building industry because of their fire resistance, acoustic performance, ease of handling, and installation process. They are also resistant to termites and vermin.
According to the US Census Bureau, during November 2021, the construction spending in the US was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of USD 1,625.9 billion, 0.4% more than the revised October estimate of USD 1,618.8 billion. Additionally, the November 2021 estimation was 9.3% more than the November 2020 estimate of USD 1,487.2 billion. Moreover, from January to November 2021, construction spending amounted to USD 1,463.2 billion, 7.9% above USD 1,355.6 billion for the same period in 2020. Additionally, rise in single-family homes in developed countries is again fostering market growth.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
High durability and impact resistance
Cement board is in high demand because it has advantages over conventional building materials, such as excellent durability and impact resistance. Furthermore, these boards are an environmentally sustainable alternative that is resistant to water, fire, vermin, and fungus. Cement boards are also used in lessening the time and area needed for construction.
Restraint:
High initial cost
