Fiber Cement Market Report 2026

The fiber cement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.03 billion in 2025 to $19.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for durable siding materials, increasing adoption in residential construction, growing awareness of fire-resistant building materials, expansion in commercial building projects, use of portland cement and silica composites.

The fiber cement market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption in green and sustainable buildings, rising demand for low-maintenance construction materials, technological innovations in fiber cement production, growth in urban infrastructure development, expansion in non-residential construction projects. Major trends in the forecast period include development of low-maintenance fiber cement products, use of pre-painted and customizable fiber cement panels, integration of fiber cement in roofing and cladding applications, adoption of sustainable cellulosic fibers, improvement in structural strength and durability of fiber cement.

Rising expenditure in construction is anticipated to drive the growth of the fiber cement market. As the construction industry expands, the adoption of high-efficiency and sustainable fiber cement for the exterior of both residential and commercial buildings has increased due to its durability and benefits to residential spaces. For example, in October 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported that construction spending in August 2024 reached $2.14 trillion, reflecting a 4.1% increase from the August 2023 estimate of $2.04 trillion. Furthermore, total construction spending for the first eight months of 2024 amounted to $1.42 trillion, marking a 7.6% increase compared to $1.32 trillion during the same period in 2023. Thus, the rising expenditure on construction is propelling the growth of the fiber cement market.

Major companies in the fiber cement market are concentrating on developing innovative technologies, such as reinforced fiber technology, to transform the Indian cement market. Reinforced Fiber Technology involves the integration of fibrous materials into cement or concrete, enhancing its mechanical properties - such as strength, durability, and crack resistance - while reducing permeability and improving overall performance. For example, in August 2023, Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., an India-based cement company, was granted a patent for its novel 'Fibre Reinforced Cement Composition,' branded as 'Duraguard Microfiber Cement.' This product improves bonding, crack resistance, and durability, making it suitable for all phases of construction and aiming to extend the lifespan of structures while lowering maintenance costs. Managing Director Jayakumar Krishnaswamy emphasized the company's dedication to innovation and enhancing customer experience in the cement industry.

In March 2024, Etex, a Belgium-based manufacturer of building materials, finalized the acquisition of BGC Fibre Cement to bolster its sustainable offerings in Australia and New Zealand. This strategic acquisition enables Etex to broaden its gypsum footprint and secure a position among the top three players in the fiber cement market in the region. The acquisition also includes a robust network of nine warehouses, which is expected to enhance customer accessibility to sustainable products. CEO Bernard Delvaux emphasized the growth potential driven by the increasing demand for fiber cement in construction. BGC Fibre Cement is a building materials store based in New Zealand.
