Lucintel has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2007. The worst performers in Asian construction were markets that were most closely associated with the slowdown in residential construction. Because of the slowdown in residential construction, specifically for exports into 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 global residential housing market continues to decline into 2008, it is important to know which sectors have continued to show strength despite the global economic slowdown. In addition, knowing the top five segments, which are expected to grow at or above 10% 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 Asian composite market in construction is expected to average over 8.9% per year, however, individual results vary greatly from -5.3% to 19.2% per year. According to Lucintel, construction applications in Asia are estimated to reach $4.9 billion in 2013. Discover which applications will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends from composites will affect the marketplace.
