Reportlinker Adds Precast Concrete Products Market

NEW YORK, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Precast Concrete Products Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0470753/Precast-Concrete-Products-Market.html

US demand to rise 6.1% annually through 2015

US demand for precast concrete products is forecast to rise 6.1 percent annually to $11.3 billion in 2015. This pace will represent a rebound from the 2005-2010 period, when demand fell 4.7 percent per year, reflective of the 2007-2009 recession, a time when construction activity -- especially in the housing market -- declined precipitously. The decline in precast products demand was less than the drop in construction expenditures, however, as builders opted to use the material more often instead of other construction materials. Through 2015, precast concrete products demand will be driven by the expected rebound in construction activity from its low 2010 base. Growth will also be spurred by rising use of precast products in place of other construction materials. Builders and architects will specify precast concrete because of such desirable characteristics as consistent product quality and its ability to reduce the cost and time of construction projects.

Residential market to be fastest growing

The residential precast concrete products market is projected to see 9.3 percent annual growth through 2015. Advances will be spurred by the expected rise in housing starts from their low 2010 base. Further growth will be supported by increasing use of precast concrete building materials in residential construction applications. Builders will opt to use such precast concrete components as foundations, basement walls and floors, as these items can offer better product consistency than poured concrete.

Nonresidential market to remain largest segment

The nonresidential market was the largest market for precast concrete in 2010, and it is expected to remain so through 2015. Growth will be driven by rebounding construction spending, especially in the office and commercial and institutional markets, where precast concrete products are used because of their ease of installation, consistent product quality and long life span. Such items as floors, exterior and interior walls, and foundations can be mass-produced using precast techniques, creating components with consistent product characteristics and a high degree of aesthetic properties.

Architectural products to see largest demand gains

Architectural building components are forecast to see the largest demand gains of all product types through 2015. Advances will be driven by the expected rebound in building construction activity through 2015. Growth will be spurred by rising use of decorative facades, door and window frames, siding and roofing tiles. Precast concrete products offer improved durability and energy efficiency compared to wood, concrete block and vinyl building products. Concrete roofing tiles will benefit from their popularity in the rapidly-growing South and West. Structural building components accounted for the largest share of product demand in 2010. Growth will be driven by the projected rise in construction activity, which will spur demand for all building materials. Further advances will be supported by increasing consumer preference for precast products, such as prefabricated buildings, floors and walls, and structural supports. These materials are less expensive than comparable steel products, are more durable than wood, and offer builders more consistent product quality than site-poured concrete.

Study coverage

This new industry study, Precast Concrete Products, presents historical demand data (2000, 2005, 2010) as well as forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by product, market and region. The study also considers key market environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles major industry competitors.
