According to Lucintel, construction applications, which is one of the largest market for composites is estimated to reach $6.1 billion in 2013 in North America. Lucintel has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2007. The worst performers in North American construction were markets that were most closely associated with residential construction. Because of the slowdown in residential construction, specifically in 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 North American residential housing market continues to decline, it is important to know which sectors have continued to show strength despite the economic slowdown. In addition, knowing the top three 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 North American Construction Composite market is expected to average over 5.0% per year, however, individual results vary greatly from -5% to 14.9% per year. Discover which applications will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends from composites will affect the marketplace.
