Siding: Introduction

  • Siding is a protective material on the exterior side of a wall of a house or any other building. It is one of the most important elements of a home’s exterior. Siding protects the home from harmful weather elements such as rain, snow, and harsh winds. It also enhances the appeal of the building by providing a common theme on its exterior.
  • Siding acts as a waterproof envelope and protects the walls from moisture during rain, as moisture leads to deterioration of the interior of buildings. Various materials such as vinyl, wood, and fiber cement are used for siding. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, vinyl siding is a highly used siding due to its durability and low cost. Rise in population and urbanization in Asia Pacific is expected to drive the demand for residential buildings in the region. This, in turn, is likely to boost the demand for siding.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Siding Market

  • The siding market has developed significantly of late. This can be primarily ascribed to the high performance and increasing recognition of siding materials globally. Siding plays an important role in addressing several issues associated with waterproofing, insulation, and pest infestation. Rise in usage of siding materials for residential purposes is expected to propel the siding market during the forecast period. Growth in awareness about the impact of heavy construction materials on the planet is anticipated to drive the demand for ecofriendly construction. High usage of wood for siding purposes is expected to drive the demand for siding in the near future.
  • Increase in demand for commercial buildings is also projected to create significant opportunities for the siding market
