M2 - Tue Apr 29, 3:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kccq76/green_building) has announced the addition of the "Green Building Materials Industry Report 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Green building technology is used to develop environmentally responsible and efficient building structure. To develop such structures; construction materials play a vital role and these are known as green building materials. Green building materials are responsible for sustainability and efficiency of a green building from design to demolition. These materials are also produced or selected as they consume less energy.Demand for green building materials have seen significant growth in recent years.Advanced materials such as cellulose, cotton, fiberglass and mineral wool are in great demand in the construction industry for insulation purpose. These materials are also eco-friendly and less toxic. Many manufacturers are involved in the development of green roofs that are in demand in the regions with regular climatic changes and extremities in weather conditions to maintain temperatures within the structure as well as for rain water harvesting. Green roofs are produced with eco-friendly materials such as membranes, soil and others. Demand for volatile organic compound (VOC) free paints & glues and carpet tiles with recycled content is increasing in the green materials market for interior finishing. New non-conventional materials such as steel with recycled content, autoclaved aerated concrete, engineered lumber and structural insulated panels are expected to drive the market in framing applications.Thus, framing and interior finishing application segments are expected to grow over the forecast period. Green building materials market has various end-user segments such as public facilities, education, commercial and industrial, healthcare, R&D centres, residential, others.In recent years, urbanization activities in the regions of Asia Pacific and RoW have increased considerably. This has helped the public facilities to grow and expand. Owing to the regulation regarding utilization of green building materials in construction, public facilities were the largest segment and are expected to maintain the highest share of volume in 2019. Large number of industrial expansions, growing R &D facilities of numerous industries and increasing Asian population are expected to drive the growth of R & D centres and residential construction in the next few years and these segments are expected to be the fastest growing end-user segments of green building materials market. Strict regulations in the North American construction market have effected a shift to green building technology. Accounting over 40%, North America is the foremost green building material consumer in the world. Europe also has strict regulations and therefore started implementing green building technology in large number of retrofitting and renovating applications. Asia Pacific and RoW are also also seeing increasing demand for green building materials due to adverse climatic conditions and government initiatives and are expected to be the most attractive markets for green building materials.

Carpets & Floorcoverings Market Update 2014
M2 - Fri Jan 31, 3:55AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/thp2x7/carpets_and) has announced the addition of the "Carpets & Floorcoverings Market Update 2014" report to their offering. Despite the sluggish growth that the UK economy has experienced in the wake of the recession, the carpets and floorcoverings market is estimated to have observed incremental year-on-year growth between 2009 and 2013. However, high inflation and unemployment, along with rising living costs and energy prices, have meant that household budgets have remained squeezed, which has resulted in relatively sluggish growth across the carpets and floorcoverings market during the past 5 years; the authors estimate the market's value to have increased by just 4.1% between 2009 and 2013. The pressures on household budgets felt since the recession has seen demand for carpet and floorcovering products particularly those positioned at the premium end of the market decline somewhat, with a much greater proportion of consumers now opting for low-cost alternatives instead in order to save on costs, a factor that has served to diminish the market's value in recent years. The depressed property market, along with the reduced availability of credit for prospective homebuyers in the UK, has also served to put downwards pressure on the carpets and floorcoverings market in recent years, with the number of property transactions continuing to observe sluggish growth following the bursting of the property bubble back in 2007/2008. Nevertheless, some sectors of the carpets and floorcoverings market have continued to gain traction, particularly during 2013, with wood/laminate and tiled flooring products experiencing relatively strong growth over the past year, at 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. These sectors have continued to gather strength following increased consumer preferences for more continental styles of flooring, which generally flavour wood or tiling. Indeed, wood/laminate options have benefitted significantly from the continued expansion of flat-pack furniture giant, IKEA, which has a strong presence in the UK and the rest of Europe, and is renowned for its wood-based interior ranges. Such styles have continued to gain favour due to their stylish finish and practical benefits, e.g. easy maintenance and high durability. Both sectors are expected to continue to gain market share within the carpets and floorcoverings industry in the future, although this may be to the detriment of the traditional carpet sector which, despite remaining the largest sector of the total market, has begun to fall out of favour with the modern consumer. Another area set for growth is likely to be sustainable flooring alternatives, which is expected to be driven by an increasingly environmentally conscientious consumer base. As such, flooring sourced from sustainable or recycled materials, such as bamboo, cork, recycled wood and rubber, are expected to represent significant areas of opportunities for manufacturers in the future. The authors expect growth within the carpets and floorcoverings market to accelerate over the next 5 years, with a strengthening economy, along with improvements within the property market following the introduction of new Government-backed schemes, such as Help to Buy, helping to drive demand for products. As such, the authors estimate the market will observe growth of 8.7% between 2014 and 2018, with the wood/laminate and tiled flooring sectors enjoying particularly strong growth during the 5-year forecast period.
