Growth Accelerators

The primary demand for lightweight construction materials as well as high-performance materials has driven the composite market in construction. Composites have a unique amalgamation of strength, durability, and design flexibility that marks their attraction as a substitute to conventional materials such as steel and concrete. The need for sustainable construction practices generating this demand is owed to the fact that in most cases, composites have less environmental impact relative to conventional materials. Another driver for this market segment is increasing concentration on infrastructure development and renovation works around the world. Governments and private investors are stepping up the expense of infrastructure restoration; this in turn generates demand for construction composites on applications of bridges, roads, and buildings. Technology improvements in composite materials and manufacturing processes will make them more cost-effective and efficient, thereby issuing yet another push to the market growth.

Under pressure to expand market presence and improve technological capabilities, strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions grow into a common practice.

Challenges In Construction Composite Market

The high production costs and availability of raw materials are the major factors that will affect the economy and acceptance of construction composites. Advanced composite materials like fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) are usually produced by expensive manufacturing processes, making them less accessible for cost-sensitive projects. Raw material price fluctuations of, e.g., resins and fibres bring further uncertainties to both the manufacturers and end-users. Limited awareness as well as scepticism about the durability of these materials compared with the traditional materials such as steel and concrete impede the increasing market potential. Yet another critical challenge is that installation is complicated, and trained manpower is required. Unlike the conventional construction materials, composites generally need competent labour for their application, thus increasing the cost of projects. Proliferating regulatory and standardisation issues, therefore, contribute to slowing down the uptake by the market since they vary between regions in terms of construction codes and guidelines for composite materials.

The construction composite market possesses substantial potential for growing right from the onset of demand for lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant building materials in modern construction. Increasing urbanisation, infrastructure development, and demand for sustainable building materials have triggered wide acceptance across all residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Advancements in the areas of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP), carbon fibre composites, and eco-friendly materials further open up avenues for the growth of the market. North America and Europe are, in contrast, characterised by stringent building codes and very advanced construction technologies as well as high investments in infrastructure projects. The Asia-Pacific region, witnessing rapid growth propelled through urban expansion and smart city initiatives supported by enhanced government spending on transport and energy infrastructure, is also, however, key. In these emerging economies, China and India, along with Southeast Asian countries, drive demand, while increasing uptake is seen in commercial and industrial construction in the Middle East. Due to the aforementioned factors, the peculiarities of regulatory policies, raw material availability, and economic conditions are instrumental in determining the dynamics of each regional market.

Demand is anticipated to increase, spurred by current trends such as green building certifications and increasing awareness of eco-friendly alternatives, especially in areas that promote sustainable urban development.

Merger and acquisition

The composites market for construction at large has been recently witnessing a lot of M&A activities by companies in a bid to solidify their hold in the market and to extend their capabilities. For example, in December 2024, Quikrete Holdings made its $9.2 billion acquisition of Summit Materials, thus creating a force to be reckoned with in North America for construction materials. Maas Group also plans to make an $800 million acquisition of Buckeridge Group of Companies, a well-established Western Australian building materials operation. Strategic developments remain significant, including the acquisition of Modular Metal Fabricators and Wattco of Smiths Group for £110 million to strengthen its footprint in North America amid testimony that Metricon, Australia's largest homebuilder, is undergoing a takeover of $115 million AUD by Japanese firm Sumitomo Forestry. It mirrors the interest from abroad directed towards the former housing market for Australia. By these transactions, the construction composites industry is ushered into consolidation and growth as companies are moved to take advantage of the increases in housing demands as well as infrastructure developments. >
