Background:

Construction is the second largest segment within the North American composites industry in volume shipment which includes 12 major applications such as door, windows, rebar, utility pole, bridge deck, grating, cooling tower, bathtub, swimming pool, architectural applications, FRP panel, and others. Today composite parts are becoming far more commonplace. Rebar, decking, grating, door and window, swimming pool, FRP panel and many other applications are gaining great interest from consumers.

This report provides insight into composites in the North American construction market by the end of 2007 and forecasts the market for 2008-2013. Learn what factors are impacting the construction market. The report extensively looks at recent industry trends, as well as future opportunities and threats, and represents an invaluable aid to sales and marketing professionals in, or interested in the industry. In addition, the report analyses market sizes and trends, market structures, key company shares for various segments. Construction markets by materials such as reinforcements and resins are discussed. According to Lucintel, construction applications, which is one of the largest markets for composites is estimated to reach $6.1 billion in 2013 in North America. Lucintel has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2007. The worst performers in North American construction were markets that were most closely associated with residential construction. Because of the slowdown in residential construction, specifically in the U.S., these markets witnessed a significant decline from the previous year. The best markets were those associated with industrial or commercial applications, most of which have very little correlation to the movements in residential housing. As the North American residential housing market continues to decline into 2008, it is important to know which sectors have continued to show strength despite the economic slowdown. In addition, knowing the top three segments which are expected to grow at or above 9% a year for the next five years can help to avoid some of the further weaknesses projected for some application segments. For the next five years, the North American composite market in construction is expected to average over 5.0% per year, however, individual results vary greatly from -5% to 14.9% per year. Discover which applications will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends from composites will affect the marketplace.
