Cement board, also known as fiber cement board, is made of sand, cement and cellulose fiber under high pressure and temperature. It offers several advantages over other construction materials such as wood due to its non-combustible and moisture resistant nature. Cement boards are gaining popularity as substitutes for drywall in areas prone to high moisture levels such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. They are also used as siding and paneling on building exteriors.

The global Cement Board Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 1.86 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 24.% over the forecast period 2023 To 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the cement board market is the increasing adoption of cladding applications. Cement boards are increasingly being used as cladding material on building facades and exterior walls. Cladding provides an aesthetically pleasing and protective exterior skin to buildings. Cement boards offer benefits of reduced maintenance, higher durability, and weather resistance compared to conventional cladding materials. Manufacturers are innovating to develop cement boards suitable for complex curved cladding designs to increase their usage in commercial construction. Another major trend is the rising popularity of green cement boards. Manufacturers are focusing on reducing the carbon footprint of cement boards by utilizing recycled content and lowering the usage of Portland cement during production. This is expected to drive the demand for sustainable cement board options in the coming years.
