COVID-19 IMPACT

The Global Economic Slowdown Hampered the Market Growth 

The market for building materials has been significantly impacted by Covid-19. In the years before the epidemic, the market was expanding steadily. But the Covid-19 epidemic and the following global economic slump have significantly reduced the demand for building materials. Building material producers and suppliers have been under tremendous pressure and compelled to decrease production and lay off staff. As economies recover in the second half of 2020, things are anticipated to improve. However, given that it will take time for construction activity to resume its pre-pandemic levels, the long-term picture for the market is still questionable.

LATEST TRENDS

Green Buildings to Boost the Market Expansion.

The market for building supplies is constantly changing and expanding. Green building materials are currently in style. Sustainable and repurposed materials are used to create green building materials. In addition, they use less energy than conventional building materials. They become a greener choice for construction projects as a result.

• Approximately 30% of new government buildings are mandated to use low-carbon construction materials by 2030.

• The modular construction market is growing rapidly, with prefabricated building methods gaining significant adoption globally.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The Extreme Competition in the Industry and Fluctuating Raw Material Prices Hinder the Market Growth

Building materials are a highly competitive industry, and several issues limit expansion. The high degree of competition, which has prompted consolidation and margin pressure, is the most significant limiting factor. Margin pressure has also been exacerbated by fluctuating raw material prices in recent years. Another major obstacle is the industry's ongoing need to innovate and invest in creating new products to stay competitive. Players must also make significant investments in marketing and distribution to gain scale. As a result, new entrants find it difficult to succeed in the building materials sector.

• Building material costs have increased by 34% since late 2020, outpacing general inflation and impacting project budgets.

• A 1 percentage point increase in tariffs on construction materials can raise domestic material prices by about 0.9% within six months.
