Type Insights

The high-density fiber cement board segment dominated the market and accounted for over 60% of the revenue share in 2022 and the segment is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. It is a cement-based composite made with cellulose fibers and other components. HDFCB HDFCB (high-density fiber cement board) has various advantages over traditional building materials like wood orgypsum boards; some of them are its superior strength, durability, and resilience to fire, water, and termite damage.

Medium density accounted for USD 2,502.1 Million for the year 2022 owing to its fire resistance, strength, and moisture resistance properties. Medium-density fiber cement board (MDFC) is a type of construction substrate that combines the strength of cement with the flexibility of wood fibers. It is often used in both interior and exterior applications. It is also resistant to warping, rotting, and termite attack, which provides it with a longer lifespan than traditional wood items.

Low density fiber cement (LDFC) board is a form of fiber cement board characterized by its light weight. It is a flexible building material that blends cement,cellulose fibers和添加剂,produce a long-lasting and lightweight product. In terms of handling, installation, and performance, LDFC boards have various advantages. They are resistant to impact, weathering, decay, and insect infestation. As a consequence, they are suitable for both internal and external applications, such as flooring, roofing, wall cladding, and decorative displays.

The growing demand for lightweight construction materials is a major driver for LDFC boards. As compared to typical building materials, their low density and light weight make them easier to transport, handle, and install. LDFC boards appeal to builders and architects due to their moisture resistance and longevity.

Application Insights

The wall cladding and panels segment emerged as the largest application segment with over 64.3% of the market revenue in 2022 owing to its protection against UV radiation and temperature variations. The use of fiber cement boards in wall cladding and panels has been growing owing to increasing urbanization, infrastructural development, and remodeling projects. The application segment can be segmented into furniture, flooring, wall cladding and panels, pre-fabricated shelters, and other applications.

The pre-fabricated shelters is the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of 14.4% in terms of revenue for the year 2022. Fiber cement board panels can be easily made and assembled in a factory setting, enabling faster completion than traditional on-site construction. Due to their ease of construction, pre-fabricated shelters are appealing for a variety of purposes, including crisis aid, temporary housing, and detached construction plants.

Due to their durability, fire resistance, and sustainability, fiber cement boards are growing in acceptance in furniture design and manufacturing. The fiber cement board in furniture applications is still in its early stages, with only a few producers specializing in this material. This provides a chance for futuristic furniture designers and producers to establish themselves in this specialized market.

Fiber cement board is a persistent and adaptable material with many advantages for flooring applications. Additionally, it is gaining popularity due to its resilience and resistance to moisture, pests, and fire as consumers seek long-lasting and low-maintenance flooring solutions. The rise of fiber cement boards in flooring applications is being driven by market demand for such flooring solutions.
