Cladding Systems Global Market Report 2024

The cladding systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $256.99 billion in 2023 to $271.75 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. Historical growth can be attributed to a construction boom, urbanization trends, a focus on energy efficiency, requirements for weather protection, adherence to regulatory standards, and the emphasis on renovation and retrofitting of structures.

The cladding systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $331.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period is tied to the adoption of sustainable construction practices, integration of smart building technologies, population growth, considerations for cultural and regional preferences, and initiatives promoting affordable housing. Major trends expected in this forecast period encompass the digitalization of construction processes, the incorporation of smart cladding technologies, advancements in lightweight and high-strength materials, the development of fire-resistant cladding solutions, the utilization of modular cladding systems, and the emergence of dynamic and kinetic cladding designs.

The burgeoning construction of both residential and commercial structures stands as a direct catalyst propelling the expansion of the cladding systems market. With an upsurge in upscale apartments, houses, and towering edifices particularly in emerging economies, there's a concurrent surge in diverse construction materials being employed. Builders increasingly opt for cladding systems to confer thermal insulation, weather durability, and aesthetic enhancement to these structures. Projections from the Global Construction 2030 report indicate a remarkable surge, foreseeing a staggering 85% growth in construction output, expected to reach $15.5 trillion by 2030. Notably, pivotal contributors to this surge include prominent nations such as China, India, and the USA. This exponential upswing in the construction sector is anticipated to serve as a pivotal driver for the cladding systems market moving ahead.

The escalating demand for energy is anticipated to serve as a driving force behind the expansion of the cladding systems market in the foreseeable future. Energy, in this context, denotes the power sources essential for operating machinery, equipment, or tools required for various purposes including repairs. Cladding systems consume energy across their lifecycle - from manufacturing and transportation to installation and long-term performance of materials such as concrete, aluminum, and steel. Their aim is to curtail the necessity for artificial heating or cooling within structures. For instance, data from the Energy Information Administration in April 2023 highlighted a projected increase in energy usage within the US industrial sector, expected to surge by 5% to 32% between 2022 and 2050. This heightened demand for energy stands as a significant impetus behind the upward trajectory of the cladding systems market.

The growing trend within the cladding systems market revolves around eco-preferred materials, which are garnering increased attention and market share. Companies are prioritizing the development of these environmentally friendly cladding materials to meet rising consumer concerns. Timber cladding, among these eco-preferred options, stands out for its exceptional properties. It serves as an effective sound and heat insulator, outperforming common alternatives such as concrete, aluminum, and steel in heat retention. This insulation quality plays a pivotal role in enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings. Additionally, timber cladding represents a truly renewable resource, generating zero waste. For instance, in 2021, Fiberon introduced the Wildwood composite cladding, showcasing the beauty and warmth of wood while ensuring durability through high-performance, low-maintenance materials.

Major players within the cladding systems market are actively pursuing strategies to attain a competitive advantage. Among the various building materials utilized for exterior coverage, aluminum cladding panels play a significant role by safeguarding structures against environmental elements while augmenting their aesthetic appeal. An illustration of this is Sculptform, an Australia-based company specializing in interior and exterior manufacturing products, which introduced aluminum click-on battens designed for use with aluminum cladding panels in June 2021. These battens employ a click-on installation method, constituting a facade cladding system for both exterior and interior applications in diverse buildings. Available in an array of sizes, shapes, and colors, click-on battens cater to distinct design preferences, proving popular in residential and commercial settings. They serve as a primary cladding system or embellishment for walls, ceilings, or soffits. The installation process involves affixing clips to the substrate and securing the battens effortlessly through a straightforward locking mechanism.

In May 2021, Taylor Maxwell, a UK-based provider of timber and composite decking, successfully acquired SBS Cladding Ltd for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move provided Taylor Maxwell with an expanded range of products and services that synergize with its existing cladding portfolio. This acquisition not only broadened Taylor Maxwell's offerings but also positioned the company to undertake new projects effectively. SBS Cladding Ltd., based in England, specializes in distributing and fabricating decorative rain-screen cladding, insulation, and firebreaks, aligning closely with Taylor Maxwell's expertise and enhancing its overall capabilities in the market.
