Cement boards are versatile building materials that have gained popularity in construction and renovation projects. These boards are typically made from a mixture of cement, reinforcing fibers, and other additives. The advantages of cement boards are durability and strength. They are highly resistant to moisture, fire, and rot, making them suitable for interior and exterior applications. Cement boards also provide excellent dimensional stability, which means, they do not expand or contract significantly with temperature fluctuations.

The global cement board market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for these boards in the construction sector and their rising use in various applications such as cladding, roofing, and flooring. The higher utilization rate of fiber cement boards in residential and nonresidential applications has broadened the scope of fiber cement boards. The residential segment is one of the fastest-growing segments and will expand rapidly in the coming years. Focus on increasing residential construction activities is further boosting the market growth. Further, the upsurge in demand for energy-efficient buildings is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the cement board market during the forecast period.

Based on application, the global cement board market is segmented into roofing, outside siding or façade, and others. The outside siding or façade segment held the largest share of the cement board market in 2022. Fiber cement siding or façade can be used as an alternative to metal, traditional wood, and vinyl siding or façade. The siding or façade is available in various textures, colors, sizes, and shapes, allowing architects and builders to create unique and visually appealing designs. It offers key advantages such as durability and resistance to weathering, rot, mold, and pests. Fiber cement siding or façade can also withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiations, and moisture. Thus, it is an ideal choice for buildings located in harsh or humid environments.

In 2022, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global cement board market. Rising awareness regarding various advantages of using cement boards over other alternatives is driving the cement board market growth in the region.
