Market Analysis

The industry is being driven by the increased demand for vapour barriers, globally, to prevent the damage caused by the moisture to the buildings or other structures. Further, the rising construction activities in the region is also aiding the industry. The growth in the construction industry in North America is led by the expansion of buildings in the residential and commercial sectors. The rising urbanisation and growing population have increased the demand for residential structures in the region, providing a boost to the industry. The increasing disposable incomes has resulted in the demand for more comfortable and luxurious structures. Moisture infiltration can shorten lifespan of paints and stains, causing exterior surfaces to deteriorate, thus, the use of weather resistant barriers, like vapour and air barrier, has increased rapidly in the recent times. Also, the government spending on public infrastructure in the region has increased, thus, propelling the industry forward.

Moreover, the increasing awareness among people regarding the various health hazards is further aiding the industry growth. Increased moisture infiltration fosters mould and rot, which can cause serious health hazards to the people living in such environment, therefore, increasing the demand for vapour barriers in buildings and other structures. Further, buildings account for nearly 41% of the energy demand and 39% of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the US Department of Energy. With the advances in building science, combined with new and evolving codes, the use of insulation in the exterior walls to increase energy efficiency has increased, leading to the use of vapour barriers or air barriers to prevent condensation within the wall assemblies, and therefore, providing further impetus to the industry.
