Africa Building Materials Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Adoption of Fiber Cement Boards
The Africa building materials market is witnessing significant growth, with fiber cement boards emerging as a preferred construction material due to their durability, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and cost-effectiveness. The increasing adoption of fiber cement wall boards, ceiling boards, floor underlayments, and façade boards is shaping the industry, particularly in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. The superior properties of fiber cement boards compared to traditional materials such as plywood and concrete blocks are key drivers of market expansion. Architects and customers have extensively acknowledged and appreciated fiber cement board's extensive list of advantages, with many opting for fiber cement board solutions. Durability is one of the most desirable qualities of these boards. Fiber cement siding typically outlasts vinyl siding in lifespan. Within 10–15 years, vinyl siding can show signs of aging; however, fiber cement siding can last up to 30–50 years or more. Further, in cement production, the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is a byproduct; however, manufacturing vinyl siding, which contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC), produces twice as much carbon dioxide. Moreover, vinyl siding off-gases throughout its lifetime and continues to do so as it occupies a space landfill. Thus, fiber cement siding is a greener alternative to vinyl siding.
Government Support to Develop Residential Construction Sector
The Africa building materials market is experiencing significant growth, driven by a large part of government support for residential construction projects. Many nations in Africa are facing a housing deficit due to rapid population growth, urbanization, and increasing demand for affordable housing. In response, governments are implementing policies, subsidies, and infrastructure investments to boost the residential construction sector, directly increasing the demand for fiber cement boards, plasterboards, insulation materials, and other essential building materials. In June 2023, Côte d'Ivoire announced a plan to expand affordable housing through the International Finance Corporation (IFC)-Structured Public-Private Partnership. In March 2025, IFC granted a US$ 27 million loan to Addoha for 5,600 affordable homes in Côte d'Ivoire, supporting the government's social housing program through 2030. Despite regulatory pressures on single-use plastics, EPS remains a cost-effective and high-performance solution for cold chain logistics and is expected to present a key growth opportunity in the region during the forecast period. As governments intensify their efforts to bridge the housing gap, the building materials industry in Africa is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the Africa building materials market during the forecast period.

The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
