The market is expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 8.59% due to construction industry growth, residential development in emerging economies and the easing of the financial crisis in Europe. Continuing economic uncertainty in the Eurozone is expected to reduce the market shares of the European region over the forecast period. Developing economies in the Asia-Pacific region, such as China, India and Indonesia are expected to support the market’s expansion due to the demand for residential construction in these locations.
