World demand to rise 4.8% annually through 2015

The global siding market is forecast to grow 4.8 percent per year through 2015 to over five billion square meters, with demand in residential and nonresidential applications growing at similar paces. Heightened residential demand will be measured against a low 2010 base in many industrialized countries, which are expected to rebound somewhat from the losses of the 2005-2010 period. Residential demand for siding will remain strong in developing countries as personal income levels rise and construction practices improve, increasing the number of buildings using siding. Nonresidential demand for siding will grow most rapidly in the developing Asia/Pacific and Africa/Mideast regions, where real GDP is expected to rise at rates above the global average, fueling building construction spending.

North America, Asia/Pacific regions to post strong gains

North America is projected to be by far the most rapidly growing regional siding market during the 2010-2015 period. Demand will rise the fastest in the United States as the US housing sector recovers somewhat from its collapse in the previous period, but US siding sales in 2015 will remain well below the level reached in 2005. Led by China and India, and assisted by recoveries in the Japanese, South Korean, and Australian markets, the Asia/Pacific region is expected to post strong gains. Growth in the other developing regions will be spurred by ongoing industrial and commercial development and rising personal income levels, which will make siding products more affordable for residential construction. In Eastern Europe, growth will be restrained by a declining population and decreasing demand for new housing. Sales in Western Europe will also not return to the levels achieved in 2005. Masonry and concrete products will account for nearly three-quarters of sales through 2015. Global demand for these products is expected to grow almost five percent per year, fueled by recoveries in the housing sectors of the United States and Western Europe. Brick and tile products will enjoy above-average sales growth in China, India and the Africa/ Mideast region. Between 2010 and 2015, demand for fiber cement siding will grow most rapidly, taking market share from competitive products. Japan will continue to be the leading national market for fiber cement siding, but gains will also be boosted by strong growth in China and India. Sales of vinyl siding are expected to increase rapidly because of higher levels of US demand, but vinyl siding will remain a niche product outside North America, accounting for only a small portion of demand.
