by The global Fireproof Cladding Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 17.62 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Fireproof cladding is a non-combustible material used as an exterior façade for commercial and residential buildings that provides flame protection and prevents fire spread. It is made from materials like steel, aluminum, fiber cement, and masonry, which have high fire resistance capabilities. Fireproof cladding provides insulation, durability, ease of installation, and aesthetic appeal. It improves energy efficiency by providing insulation against heat transfer through walls and acts as a passive fire protection system for buildings. The rising construction sector worldwide and strict regulations regarding fire safety standards in buildings are driving the demand for fireproof cladding.
Market key trends:
Metal siding cladding is gaining popularity as it provides durability and low maintenance. Aluminum and steel cladding are lightweight yet rigid materials that do not corrode easily and have a long service life. They can be formed into various profiles, shapes, and colors as per the design requirements. Fiber cement cladding is also widely used as it is cost-effective, has good fire resistance, and resembles wood. With the growing need for sustainability and green buildings, bio-based and recyclable cladding materials are emerging as key trends. Innovation in functionalities, such as inclusion of solar panels and acoustic insulation properties, are expanding the cladding product offerings.
