[Research Report] The cement board market size is expected to grow from US$ 23,616.63 million in 2022 to US$ 35,473.56 million by 2028; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.0% from 2022 to 2028.
MARKET ANALYSIS
Cement board is a combination of cement, glass, aggregate, and fiber reinforcements that are formed into sheets and used as tile backing boards, and to build walls or floors. Cement board comprises of various product type such as fiber cement board and cement bonded particle board. Cement bonded particle boards have high stiffness, high fire resistance, high resistance to atmospheric agents and excellent acoustic insulation properties. They are largely used in flooring, facade, wall cladding, gates, and other construction products. Cement boards are used in various construction activities owing to its excellent physical characteristics such as non-combustible, water and UV resistance, resistance to rotting and wrapping, and others.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
Rising adoption of cement board in construction sector is boosting the global cement board market growth significantly. Durability is one of the most desirable qualities of cement board. Cement boards, and panels typically outlast vinyl siding and other alternative products in lifespan. Within 10 to 15 years, vinyl siding can show signs of aging, whereas cement board can last up to 30 to 50 years or more. Further, in cement production, carbon dioxide is a byproduct. However, manufacturing vinyl siding containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produces more carbon dioxide than cement production. Moreover, vinyl siding off-gases throughout its lifetime as it occupies a space landfill. Moreover, the upsurge in demand for energy-efficient buildings is further boosting the global cement board market growth. Modernizing cities in developing countries and increasing per capita income propel energy use in buildings across the world. High energy consumption in public, residential, and commercial buildings creates a need for energy savings. According to the International Energy Agency, buildings are expected to account for ∼41% of global energy savings potential by 2035, and the industrial sector and transport sector will hold 24% and 21%, respectively. A layer of cement board is applied to the building to reduce heat transfer through the walls, keeping the interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which makes a building energy efficient. However, the high cost associated with cement board purchase and installation, might limit its market growth.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. Shutdown of manufacturing plants and restricted trade across the globe led to supply chain constraints for the manufacturers across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the growth of the chemicals & materials sector and the cement board market. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 negatively impacted the growth of various industries. Industries such as packaging, consumer goods, automotive & transportation, textiles, and building & construction were adversely affected by the sudden disruptions in operational efficiencies and value chains due to the sudden closure of national and international boundaries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, falling revenue and increasing project delivery challenges led to the sector’s contraction in most markets, with a corresponding negative impact on the labor force. Builders experienced delays and increased costs for imported raw materials and off-site building materials due to many factories being shut down for long periods. The damage to the building & construction industry hampered the demand for cement board. Therefore, the cement board market has recovered quite well from the aftermath of the pandemic and is expected to grow over the coming years.
