Abstract
US demand to reach 935 million linear feet in 2012
US demand for fencing is forecast to expand approximately two percent per
annum to 935 million linear feet in 2012. A recovery in the residential market
will spark faster overall growth in fencing demand. This market, which
accounts for over one-half of the market total, contracted as housing
construction declined in 2006 and 2007. Among all the major fencing markets,
the fastest gains are expected to come from the nonbuilding market, which will
benefit from a rebound in street and highway construction.
Metal fencing to remain dominant, plastic and composite to grow the fastest
Among fencing materials, demand for plastic and composite fencing is forecast
to grow fastest, as these products continue to penetrate the large residential
fencing market at the expense of wood products. Although wood fencing products
remain the most popular residential fencing type, competition from plastic and
composite fencing is quickly eroding its market share. Plastic materials can
offer similar aesthetics to these products, while significantly reducing
maintenance costs. While vinyl fencing products continue to account for the
largest share of plastic fencing demand, composite products are expected to
grow fastest. Metal fencing products account for two-thirds of the fencing
market in terms of dollar value (although somewhat smaller in terms of linear
feet). Metal fencing' s prominence stems from its popularity in the
nonresidential building and nonbuilding markets, where metal fencing
(particularly chain link) is commonly used to secure property. Going forward,
demand for metal fencing is expected to grow in line with the market as a
whole.
Fastest growth in Midwest, West regions of the US
Demand for fencing is expected to grow fastest in the Midwest and West regions
of the US. The Midwest suffered the greatest drop in housing construction over
the 2002-2007 period, and will benefit the most from the rebound of the
residential fencing market. Fencing demand in the West will be driven by gains
in the nonresidential fencing market, particularly in the Mountain subregion
where the economic outlook is most favorable.
Study coverage
Fencing, a new Freedonia industry study presents historical demand data (1997,
2002 and 2007) plus forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by product, market and region
of the US. The study also examines market environment factors, assesses
company market share data and profiles 32 US industry competitors.
