Lucintel forecasts that siding will remain the largest application segment over the forecast period, as fiber cement siding improves the aesthetic appeal of buildings. Along with being affordable, fiber cement is most suitable for regions with extreme weather conditions.

Within this market, non-residential will remain the largest end use segment over the forecast period due to its usage in industrial buildings, such as factories, mills, and warehouses, owing to the enforcement of legislation by several governments, such as the UK, the US, and Canada, banning the use of asbestos at such workplaces.

Asia Pacific will remain the largest region, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to improving global economy, growing construction sector, particularly in rapidly growing countries, such as China and India, huge foreign investments, and growing awareness of the hazardous-effects of using asbestos.
