Rainscreen Cladding Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Rainscreen Cladding Market Overview

Rainscreen Cladding Market size is forecast to reach US$16.1 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2021-2026. Rainscreen cladding is an exterior cladding infrastructure that is placed on the exterior of buildings. The rainscreen cladding system can be made from different materials such as stainless-steel aluminum, zinc, and others. At several stages of the construction of rain cladding huge amounts of unprotected polystyrene are being used. This shielding solution consists of an insulation layer, and a cladding material that is associated with the building across a supporting frame. This structure initiates an air cavity between the wall and the cladding material, which allows uninterrupted ventilation. Masonry veneer rainscreen claddings have obtained popularity due to their drainage and air circulation system to separate it from the exterior supportive wall and help avoid moisture penetration. Demand for rainscreen cladding market is increasing due to the high growth of the construction industry worldwide.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID 19 outbreak has impacted the development of the rainscreen cladding industry owing to the lockdown measure in various region such as Asia-Pacific, North America and others.

Rainscreen Cladding Market Segment Analysis - By Types

Composite Cladding segment held the largest share in the Rainscreen Cladding Market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2021-2026. The composite material is likely to maintain its dominance owing to its superior performance and low cost of maintenance. They are mostly preferred in the construction industry as they hold versatility, which let the panels be in shaped into complicated forms. Besides they are completely recyclable and facilitate to improve buildings' aesthetic appeal along with various colors and sizes. Another mostly used cladding type which is anticipated to grow with the largest CAGR DURING 2021-2026, is metal rainscreen cladding and fiber cement, commonly used due to its corrosion resistance, durability, superior flatness, and stability under dynamic thermal conditions. Fiber cement is made with cement and cellulose fiber. As they can effortlessly resist rainwater and high-pressure winds, these panels are achieving multiple acceptance. Fiber cement provides fireproof properties that make it a suitable raw material for panel production.

Rainscreen Cladding Market Segment Analysis - By Application

Exterior and Interior segment held the largest share in the Rainscreen Cladding Market in 2020. Exterior cladding insulates commercial properties, thus considerably fetching down heat and cold charges, along with making the interiors comfortable. It acts as an additional layer of protection to the building and enhances its mechanical strength and avoid cracks. It protects against weather direct sun by acting as a thermal insulation and maintaining internal heat load condition along with cold, wind, rains, and others. It also soundproofs against busy urban conditions outside the building. Besides, it provides aesthetic beauty to the exterior as well as interior of the building. Cladding turns up in a range of designs and colors which gives ability to fetch out desired style.

Rainscreen Cladding Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry

Commercial Construction segment held the largest share in the Rainscreen Cladding Market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2021-2026. Rapid industrialization and new construction is likely to intensify the market of cladding for new office buildings, educational Institutes, hospitals and healthcare and the rehabilitation of existing ones. These are large buildings or clusters of buildings that require rainscreen cladding made of rigid & durable material to protect against severe weather. The major purpose of the cladding is splitting the indoor of a building from the outside environment. The commercial construction is gaining traction with the rising necessities, for instance, according to India brand Equity Foundation, Indian construction sector has endorsed elevated growth in 2020 with rise in demand for office spaces as well as residential spaces and appealed US$5 billion investments. With the constant development in the sector in turn increases the demand for rainscreen cladding in the forecast period.
