North America Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Market according to our research experts:
Residential Segment to Dominate the Market
- Insulated concrete forms are used to hold fresh concrete by providing permanent insulation in the interior and exterior of a building. North America holds a considerable market share, with leading countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico driving the domestic demand for ICF to new highs.
- Insulated concrete forms are utilized to construct stronger walls that save energy by providing sufficient heat and sound insulation in the interior and exterior of the buildings. Other advantages include economic effectiveness, improved concrete curing time, less setup time, wiring space, and others.
- According to the US Census Bureau, the total number of multifamily buildings approved by building permits in the United States was over 622,000 in 2021, representing a 26% increase over the previous year. Permits have increased in each region compared to the previous year, indicating that the country needs more insulated concrete forms.
- According to Statistics Canada (StanCan), the number of new residential buildings in Canada is increasing in each quarter of 2022, with roughly 73,548 in Q3, 72,314 in Q2, and 48,357 in Q1, showing that the country's demand for more insulated concrete forms is increasing.
- According to Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the total revenue generated from building construction was roughly MXN 272.28 billion (USD 13.1 billion), witnessing a growth rate of around 46% as compared to the previous year.
- As per Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the construction sector accounted for 6.8 percent of the country's GDP, with building construction accounting for 4.8 percent.
- Thereby, increasing demand for construction in the residential segment is likely to dominate the market.
United States to Dominate the Market
- The United States dominated the North American insulated concrete form (ICF) market in 2021, with a considerable revenue share, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.
