Rainscreen Cladding Global Market Report 2024

Rainscreen cladding serves as a protective layer for a building's structure against natural elements such as wind and rain, providing insulation and noise control, while simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the structure. The term 'rainscreen' denotes an external cladding system comprised of water-shedding materials applied to the surface of buildings. Among its benefits is the improvement in thermal and acoustic insulation.

Various materials are employed in rainscreen cladding, including metal, fiber cement, composite materials, and others. Metal is utilized to prevent moisture infiltration, thereby averting potential structural deterioration. This construction method finds application in new construction projects, renovations, and is adopted by both residential and non-residential sectors.

The rainscreen cladding market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.36 billion in 2023 to $15.45 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of the construction and architectural sectors, an increased demand for energy-efficient building solutions, the proliferation of sustainable and green construction practices, adherence to regulatory standards for building safety, and the widespread adoption of rainscreen systems for effective moisture protection.

The rainscreen cladding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.67 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the development of customized rainscreen cladding solutions, the expansion of sustainable and recyclable materials, innovations in smart and self-healing cladding technologies, heightened utilization in retrofit and renovation projects, and the growing adoption of rainscreen systems in urban planning. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass self-cleaning and pollution-absorbing cladding, a focus on regulatory compliance in cladding safety and codes, the promotion of flexible and adaptable cladding designs, the provision of personalized cladding solutions tailored to specific architectural requirements, and an increased emphasis on transparency in material sourcing and consideration of environmental impact.

The anticipated increase in residential and non-residential construction is poised to drive the growth of the rainscreen cladding market. Construction encompasses various activities related to building, altering, remodeling, or demolishing structures. Rainscreen cladding, known for its durability and aesthetic enhancement, serves as a protective element against excessive heat for both residential and non-residential buildings. For instance, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, construction spending saw an increase from $1,618.8 billion in October 2021 to $1,625.9 billion in November 2021, underscoring the momentum in construction activities. Consequently, the rising trend in residential and non-residential construction significantly contributes to the growth of the rainscreen cladding market.

The ongoing trend of rapid urbanization is expected to be a key driver supporting the growth of the rainscreen cladding market. Urbanization involves the shift of the population from rural to urban areas, resulting in increased construction and infrastructure development in cities. Rainscreen cladding, recognized for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and heat protection capabilities, is particularly favored for urban buildings. As per data released in September 2021 by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the global urban population reached 4.46 billion in 2021, and it is projected to rise to 6.68 billion by 2050. This substantial growth in urbanization is expected to create a heightened demand for rainscreen cladding.

The rainscreen cladding market is witnessing a notable trend with the emergence of new product innovations. Major players in the market are actively engaged in developing novel products to gain a competitive edge. For instance, Fiberon, a UK-based manufacturer specializing in composite and PVC decking, railing, and fencing products, introduced a new composite cladding designed for rainscreen applications in October 2021. This innovative product combines the aesthetic warmth of wood with the durability of low-maintenance, high-performance composite materials.

Strategic partnerships are becoming a prominent strategy among major companies in the rainscreen cladding market to offer comprehensive solutions. Through strategic collaborations, companies aim to cater to the needs of architects, contractors, and installers specifying rainscreen cladding. In 2023, Sotech Optima, a UK-based designer and manufacturer of engineered metal rainscreen façade solutions, announced a partnership with Hilti Corporation, a Liechtensteiner engineering company. This collaboration enhances service delivery by providing a complete offering and managing aspects like training, delivery supervision, and client satisfaction. The partnership is expected to streamline on-site processes and offer more efficient solutions for the specified rainscreen cladding in the United Kingdom.

In an acquisition move, Caddick Construction, a UK-based construction company, acquired Speedclad in October 2022. This strategic acquisition is designed to position Caddick Construction independently within the construction industry. Speedclad, a UK-based company specializing in rainscreen cladding, adds value to Caddick Construction's capabilities in the construction sector.
