Cement Boards Market

Cement Boards Market: Dynamics

Increasing population, job-driven migration, and improving purchasing power in emerging economies is driving rapid urbanization. Such mass urbanization demands construction of new residential, commercial and public infrastructure. Cement boards provide durable structure to buildings and construction projects. Key beneficial properties of cement boards include fire resistance, moisture resistance, impact resistance, and easy to handle and install. These properties make them preferable for various applications such as floors and roofs, ceilings, exterior and partition walls, facades, fire resistant furniture, etc. The furniture sector follows the construction industry in terms of the use of cement boards.

Various types of cement boards such as fiber cement boards, wood wool cement boards, wood strand cement boards, and cement bonded particle boards make them suitable for different climatic conditions, and also for various applications such as permanent shuttering and the insulation of concrete. There are opportunities for growth in the cement board industry, such as the need for durable building products in areas prone to natural disasters. Also, environmental policies regarding reduced hazardous chemicals make cement boards even more preferable than concrete. Cement boards are environment friendly, and low-carbon cement product alternative.

However, the comparatively higher initial costs of cement boards and the fact that they are also bulky in weight can restrain its market growth to some extent.
