Opportunities for Composites in the European Construction Market 2008-2013: Trends,
Forecast and Opportunity Analysis Total 223 pages, 107 figures/charts and 37 tables,
published January 2009.
Construction is one of the largest segments within the European composites industry
in volume shipment. This 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 products 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 European construction 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.
Lucintel has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2007. The worst
performers in European 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 European 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 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 European composite market
in construction is expected to average over 6.0% per year, however, individual results
vary greatly from -6.6% to 14.9% per year. According to Lucintel, construction applications
in Europe are estimated to reach $3.1 billion in 2013. Discover which applications
will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends from composites will affect
the marketplace.
Ryan Lee, market analyst at Lucintel and author of the report said, "Once potential
customers understand the advantages of composite products, the sale itself is not
entirely difficult. Often the difficulty is getting the potential customer to see
past the initial cost of the product and educate them as to the life cycle cost
of composites as compared to conventional materials, which traditionally have less
strength, require more maintenance, and need more frequent replacements."
