Divergent trends in the core construction markets over the past five years have contributed to a minor contraction in industry revenue, at an anticipated annualised 0.3% to $3.2 billion in 2024-25. Much of the decline stems from an expected fall of 4.9% in 2024-25 alone, in response to a slump in new house construction following a hike in interest rates. Weaker house construction activity has dampened sales of concrete roof tiles and pavers. Still, mounting population pressures will drive an upswing in apartment construction, which, along with solid non-residential building activity, will support sales of concrete structural and cladding products like concrete bricks, blocks, panels, columns, beams and tensioning posts. A slump in sales to the housing market and price rises resulting from earlier supply chain blockages have squeezed the industry’s profit margins. Several large-scale, vertically integrated manufacturers dominate industry segments, with four prominent companies accounting for over two-thirds of industry revenue.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 0.3 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.2bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
