US brick and block demand will grow 4.1 percent annually through 2010. Concrete pavers and decorative block will grow the fastest, followed by nonstructural clay brick siding and structural concrete block. Healthy nonresidential building activity will benefit structural, fencing and other brick and block uses (e.g., paving, landscaping).
The study done by Freedonia Group analyzes the $5.7 billion US brick and block industry. It presents historical demand data for 1995, 2000 and 2005 and forecasts to 2010 and 2015 by product (e.g., common clay brick, glazed clay brick, structural concrete block, decorative concrete block, concrete pavers, concrete brick), by market, by application (e.g., siding, structural, chimneywork, fencing) and by geographic region.
The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 35 major players including Wienerberger, Boral, Hanson, Rinker, Berkshire Hathaway, CEMEX, Titan, and CRH.
