Analyst Review

The demand for fiber cement is on the rise in the Europe market, owing to the ban on asbestos cement. Fiber cement ensures durability and provides better efficiency unlike conventional counterparts. It is preferred by professional builders, contractors, and homeowners over vinyl siding.

Countries, such as the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and others have opted for fiber cement in interior and exterior cladding to obtain a wood-like texture, and ensure resistance to weather, fire, and termite. Homeowners in the UK have focused on covering their decks with fiber cement. Therefore, fiber cement decking materials gain popularity, particularly in some areas of the UK, to accentuate the aesthetics of their houses.

The Europe fiber cement market is segmented, based on application, into siding, trim, panels, roofing, flooring, backer board, piping, and others. The trim segment is projected to be the fastest growing application during the forecast period, as fiber cement trim boards are adopted by builders and homeowners due to their resistance to rotting and warping. Moreover, a fiber cement panel trim offered by Fry Reglet adds an attractive look to the building, ensures ease of installation, has ecofriendly properties, and is made of 60% recycled aluminum.
