The non-residential segment comprises industrial, commercial, and agricultural buildings of fiber cement. Fiber cement is commonly used in industrial buildings, such as factories, mills, and warehouses, owing to the enforcement of legislation by several governments, such as the UK, the US, and Canada, banning the use of asbestos at such workplaces. This is primarily due to favorable and lenient lending policies initiated by governments across the world, which is driving the growth of non-residential construction projects. The residential construction spending is estimated to increase, particularly in emerging regions, including Asia Pacific and Latin America. Rapid urbanization is observed in these regions, resulting in a higher growth rate of the residential sector than that of developed regions.
Portland cement, by material, accounted for the largest market share in the fiber cement market. Portland cement is the most widely used type of cement, which is used for making concrete and mortar.
