The North America rainscreen cladding market size is anticipated to reach USD 63.34 billion by 2030 and it is anticipated to projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The North American construction industry is witnessing significant growth owing to rising public and private investments in infrastructural development of transport, residential spaces, and commercial buildings. Factors such as the growing global population, rising per capita income in countries such as the U.S. and Mexico, and urbanization are fueling the construction of residential and non-residential spaces in North America. This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for rainscreen cladding in the coming years.
Rainscreen cladding improves the aesthetics of the building while protecting it from heavy rainfall and high air pressure. Mostly, these walls would fail in operation owing to factors such as material degradation, unexpected building movements, and poor workmanship. The face-sealed and screen-drained cladding methods are the most widely used for modern construction projects as they completely envelope the building structure and don't allow rainwater penetration to the interiors of the cladding. In general, rainscreen cladding structures have many technological advantages over formal methods. They offer promising growth to the sustainable construction initiative undertaken by various governments.
The technical innovations in structural components of rainscreen cladding systems resulted in lightweight materials including framework, panels, and insulation materials. Builders and architects focus more on these materials to reduce the overall weight of the structure. Vented systems, drained systems, and pressure-equalized systems are the types of rainscreen cladding structures that are designed for different applications in building protection. Modern open and ventilated rainscreen claddings offer diverse design opportunities to the architects in the same way in which they provide opportunities to the builders. Both the ventilated and the open rainscreen cladding systems are persistently exposed to various external environmental elements as well as internal moisture retained in the cavity. For this reason, it becomes essential that a secondary membrane, which can protect the structures beneath from air, UV radiation, and moisture for the long term, is required and installed.
