Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: North America Rainscreen Cladding Market


The North America rainscreen cladding market size was estimated at USD 34.6 billion in 2018 and is expected to ascend at a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period. Rising popularity of aesthetically appealing homes coupled with an increase in single & multi-family residential construction on account of the growing population is likely to propel the product demand.

The assembly structure of rainscreen cladding consists of different materials including blocking wall, vapor control layer, insulation, panel support system, panels, and panel joints. The system is manufactured as a double-wall construction, which uses the internal layer to provide thermal insulation and the outer layer to prevent the rainwater from entering.

These systems are finding increasing acceptance in building & construction industry within the U.S. owing to their suitability for both new and redevelopment projects. In the case of old buildings, these systems help improve the appearance of the building structure while improving thermal efficiency. Volatility in the raw material prices results in variations in the prices of cladding components, thus affecting profit margins of companies across the value chain. However, the presence of numerous raw material suppliers with high production volumes is likely to lower bargaining power of suppliers in the market.

Commercial construction is likely to emerge as a key application segment in the industry owing to rising demand for aesthetically appealing building structures. Increasing investments in commercial constructions in the U.S. and Canada are expected to drive the demand for rainscreen claddings within North America.

Multiple incidents of fire mishaps due to rainscreen cladding in buildings have been recorded across the globe. A majority of the incidents occurred on account of the characteristics of the panels that allowed the fire to spread quickly. Thus, the industry players are finding it challenging to regain consumer confidence in terms of using rainscreen panels.
