Growing
requirement for eco-friendly construction materials owing to rising awareness
towards conservation of conventional materials are anticipated to propel demand
for advanced building and construction sheets. Such sheets are likely to offer
durability, flexibility, and resistance from heat & harmful ultra violet
(UV) rays. In addition, growing adoption of water and sound proofing in
commercial and residential buildings can also fuel demand.
New Exfoliation Technique to Offer 2D
Metal Sheets
Major
product variants of building and construction sheets are rubber, bitumen,
metal, and polymer. The
polymer segment is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.6% on account of
several mechanical properties such as high tensile strength and corrosion
resistance. The metal sheets segment is also expected to witness
significant growth in the coming years owing to availability of wide range of
metal deposits. In addition, high durability of metal components is also likely
to fuel demand for metal sheets in construction sector.

Considering
the rising demand, most companies and research teams are focusing on R&D to
develop advanced techniques of creating better metal sheets. For instance, a
group of scientists at Rice University in Texas, Indian Institute of Technology
in India, and Bruker NanoSurfaces in Minnesota recently unveiled a unique
method to exfoliate two dimensional metal sheet. This new method is likely to
allow manufacturers to make metal sheets from low-melting alloys and pure
metals.
Market Insights
The
global building and construction sheets market is expected to reach USD 195.15
billion by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising
adoption of atactic polypropylene owing to its useful properties such as UV
resistance, flow resistance at high temperature, and flexibility at low
temperature can drive market growth. Stringent government policies towards
conservation of traditional products such as metal and wood can fuel growth of
the market. High demand for polymer and metal sheets in industrial and
residential applications can propel market growth in the coming years. Growing
number of construction activities owing to increasing development in
infrastructure can foster growth of the market during the forecast period 2017
to 2025.
Some of the leading companies offering quality building and
construction sheets are Atlas Roofing Corporation, Paul Bauder GmbH & Co.
KG, Fletcher Building Limited, Etex, and GAF Materials Corporation.
