The global exterior wall systems market size was valued at USD 211.41 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 223.67 billion in 2022 to USD 370.82 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with exterior wall systems witnessing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of 3.5% in 2020 as compared to 2019.


Exterior wall systems are an envelope or an enclosure of a building designed to protect the covered interior from the external environment. Rising private and public investments across residential commercial and industrial establishments surge the demand for wall systems. The growing construction industry in developing countries and technological advancements in construction techniques are the factors responsible for the growth of the market. Moreover, introducing new regulations and reforms to develop the real estate sector is also boosting market prospects. Additionally, stringent regulations on energy efficiency and green buildings are assisting the market's growth.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Halted Construction Activities and Supply Chain Disruptions amid COVID-19 to Hinder Growth


The onset of COVID-19 has deeply affected the performance of the construction industry. Worldwide, construction activities were halted due to regulations on maintaining safe social distance to contain the spread of the virus. The restrictions on transportation & logistics of raw materials have disrupted the supply chains of several companies. Small-scale companies have shut down their projects to conserve cash and avoid liquidation. Commercial and industrial sectors have been struggling owing to lockdowns imposed by various governments. The weakening of major national economies has affected most of the world’s population, which impacted residential construction heavily. The above-mentioned factors have affected the exterior wall systems market growth.


LATEST TRENDS

Incorporation of Exterior Wall Systems for Green Buildings to Boost Market Growth


Constructions that do not implement energy-saving technologies and materials waste up to 25-30% of energy. Developments in modern construction methods and the incorporation of efficient exterior wall systems offer significant advantages in energy conservation. The rising need for energy-efficient buildings propels the demand for these wall systems. Additionally, regulations by several governments regarding energy-efficient building construction and the use of environment-friendly construction materials are further boosting the market growth. For example, the European Union’s energy performance of building directive will help reach the building and renovation goals set out in the European Green Deal.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rapid Growth in Construction Activities to Drive Market Progress


The growth in industrial, commercial, and residential construction activities around the globe is increasing the demand for exterior wall systems. Initiatives by governments that aim to develop infrastructures and modernize the existing ones are driving the market's growth. The Government of India, for instance, allowed 100% FDI in selected construction projects. Rising disposable incomes and increasing preference for dry construction methods over wet construction methods further support the demand for these wall systems.


Additionally, exterior wall systems are experiencing high demand owing to the growing need for efficient thermal management of buildings and increasing awareness among consumers regarding environment-friendly façade solutions.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Regulations by Governments on Carbon Emissions to Hamper Growth


The exterior wall systems comprise materials such as ceramics, insulation materials, cement, fiberboards, and vinyl. The number of pollutants and toxic emissions produced during the manufacturing of these materials are threatening the environment and posing risks to human health. As a result, governments in several countries are imposing strict regulations to limit carbon emissions from the construction industry, which are likely to restrain the growth of the industry.


SEGMENTATION


By Material Analysis


Glass Panels Segment to Hold Dominant Share in the Market Owing to its Superior Properties


Based on material, the exterior wall systems market is segmented into vinyl, ceramic tiles, gypsum/plasterboard, glass panel, EIFS, fiber cement, wood board, HPL board, and fiberglass panel, metal panels, bricks & stone, and others. The glass panel segment dominates the market owing to the ability of these panels to provide an aesthetic appeal and superior performance. The implementation of a new regulation, such as the EU’s proposed plan to move from the current nearly zero-energy buildings to zero-emission buildings by 2030, is promoting the use of glass panels and the introduction of smart glass. Thus, the demand for glass panels is expected to increase further.


The rising demand for thermal insulation in residential buildings owing to regulations pertaining to energy savings is boosting the growth of the EIFS segment. The functionality and the aesthetic & visual appeal associated with the ceramic tiles have fueled their consumption.


The gradual shift of building and construction companies toward the use of environment-friendly materials has resulted in the growth of the gypsum/plasterboard segment. Properties, including thermal, chemical and wear resistance combined with extreme durability augment the demand for HPL boards.


By Type Analysis


Curtain Wall Segment to Make Rapid Progress due to its Preference in Construction Industry


Based on type, the market is segmented into ventilated façade, a curtain wall, and a non-ventilated façade. The curtain wall segment is expected to grow at the highest rate due to reduced fabrication time and a shorter duration of construction. Curtain wall systems minimize the damage caused by natural calamities and provide protection from severe weather conditions, which will further drive the market's growth.


The ventilated façade segment is displaying a considerable growth rate owing to the ability of these systems to regulate the amount of humidity and act as effective outdoor protection. The advantages offered by non-ventilated façades, such as design freedom for architects, slim, time efficiency, and high-quality insulation and noise damping, are aiding the segmental growth.


By End-Use Analysis

Non-Residential Segment to Dominate the Market due to Rising Construction and Infrastructure Projects Globally


On the basis of end-use, the market is bifurcated into residential and non-residential. The non-residential segment dominates the exterior wall systems industry share owing to the increase in the number of construction & infrastructure projects in emerging economies. Additionally, investments by foreign companies in developing countries combined with standardization in the building & construction industry further support the non-residential segment's growth.


Factors, such as rapidly growing population, urbanization activities, and increasing investments in the real estate sector, contribute to the growth of the residential segment. Furthermore, the rising demand for energy-efficient residential spaces is another factor boosting the segment growth.
