NEW YORK, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

US demand to expand 2.9% annually through 2014
Demand for fencing in the US is forecast to expand 2.9 percent per year through 2014 to 935 million linear feet. A rebound in housing completions will spur demand for fencing, reversing the declines of the 2007-2009 period and marginally exceeding the level of demand ten years earlier. Measured by length, demand for fencing contracted between 2004 and 2009, but rose about three percent annually in value terms, driven by rising raw material prices, especially for metals, plastics and concrete. Through 2014, however, the price of metals is forecast to fall slightly from 2009 levels. As a result, despite the resurgence in demand in terms of linear feet, the value of fencing demand is expected to rise only slightly faster than it did in the 2004-2009 period, reaching $10.3 billion in 2014.
Plastic, composite fencing to grow at most rapid pace
Among fencing materials, demand for plastic and composite fencing is forecast to grow at the most rapid pace through 2014. Plastic and composite fencing closely resembles natural wood, but requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan. Plastic and composite fencing products are also seen as environmentally friendly materials that keep waste out of landfills. Concrete and other fencing materials will also see above average demand gains through 2014. Advances will be derived from continued recognition of concrete's durability, which makes it ideal for buildings and sites requiring protection from explosions and other physical attacks. In 2009, metal fencing accounted for the largest share of the fencing market in both value and unit terms. Chain link fencing is often used to mark boundaries and secure properties, while ornamental varieties are used to enhance the aesthetic properties of homes and businesses. Through 2014, demand for metal fencing in the US is expected to advance 2.0 percent annually. Growth will be derived from continued interest in metal fencing to mark boundaries and enhance physical security. However, below-average growth in the nonresidential market, where metal fencing dominates, will restrict gains. Metal fencing pricing is forecast to rise just over one percent per year through 2014 because of the projected decline in metal prices. Wood fencing demand will advance at the slowest pace through 2014 because of heavy competition from plastic and composite fencing.
Residential building market to lead gains
Residential buildings are the largest fencing market, so the recovery in residential construction will boost fencing demand over the forecast period. Indeed, the residential market will account for about two-thirds of the approximately $1.5 billion advance in total fencing demand through 2014. The new housing segment is expected to post the most rapid advances in demand through 2014. Demand will also be supported by the large replacement segment, as improvement and repair spending rebounds from a low 2009 base. Fencing demand in the nonresidential building construction, nonbuilding construction and agricultural markets will advance 1.1 percent annually through 2014. Growth will be led by rebounding office and commercial construction and transportation construction spending. Accelerating institutional construction spending will also support demand. However, growth will be checked by the fact that metal fencing -- which is highly durable and offers users long lifespans -- is the material most often used in these applications.
