Market Overview
In 2024, the global cladding systems industry is projected to be valued at USD 284.0 billion, and it is estimated to reach USD 391.7 billion by the end of the decade, advancing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the projection period.
The rising expenditure on sustainable practices is a major trend in the industry. Many companies are promising sustainable innovation through significant investments. Traditional building materials and construction approaches, commonly associated with considerable resource reduction and carbon footprints, are being replaced by innovative substitutes.
Developers and designers are increasingly choosing resources that comply with green building standards. Recognizing the urgent need for lower carbon emissions in buildings, they are finding ways to decarbonize their manufacturing processes for cladding systems. This includes investments in automated shaping and cutting technologies and new factories to improve the efficiency and accuracy of cladding systems production.
Cladding systems are extremely durable, as they can resist chemical attacks and endure various weathering actions. Additionally, strong cladding systems are engineered to withstand adverse climate conditions, ecological degradation, and maintain their structural and aesthetic integrity over long periods.
Such systems also have a significantly longer lifespan. For example, they can last for hundreds of years. Furthermore, consistent maintenance extends their lifetime, as different coatings applied to their surface enhance their functional properties and prevent the accumulation of dirt and water by providing exterior passages.
Key Insights
In 2024, the ceramic category held the largest share, 30%, in the industry.
Some of the properties include durability, see-through, sustainability, water resistance, thermal conductivity, environmental friendliness, fire rating, and acoustic performance.
Ceramic cladding materials can be described as the utilization of ceramics in the construction of structures through the incorporation of advanced design and functionality into the construction market.
Being a strongly adhesive and hard surface material, ceramics are also quite resistant to scratches, abrasion, and excessive heat and cold.
Ceramics can be made in various forms, colors, and surface treatments offering designers and architects freedom in form, hue, and texture to cater to a variety of architectural designs.
Walls category has dominated the market and it has the highest growth rate with around 5% CAGR. 8% in the given forecasting period, Percentage 8%.
Overall growth is propelled by; requirements of beauty, protection of building envelope, retrofitting works, energy efficiency standards, and technological development.
The residential category is projected to grow at a faster rate with a CAGR of 5%. For cladding systems, approximately 7% of the overall construction cost spheres durability, aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and saving through low maintenance cost.
The non-residential segment has the highest market demand owing to an elevated number of commercial buildings that need to meet the demands of weather-resistive, thermal-insulated, aesthetically appealing, and fire-resistant properties.
Countless areas requiring a simple geometric look with less effort are easily solved by cladding for non-residential buildings like hospitals, offices, malls, and other commercial buildings which helps the corporate identity and code regulations.
It is observed, that the market of cladding systems is mainly driven by the countries in the APAC region, which is predicted to have the highest growth rate with an estimated revenue of around 40% in 2024.
Growth in APAC is attributed to rapid urbanization, economic growth, improving manufacturing capabilities, a growing construction sector, and government initiatives promoting sustainable building practices.
China leads the regional market due to the government's focus on reducing energy consumption, conserving energy resources, minimizing GHG emissions, and increasing construction activities.
