Product Code: 4408
This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $2.1 billion US ceilings industry. It presents historical demand data (2011, 2016, and 2021) and forecasts (2026 and 2031) by product (ceiling tiles, suspension systems, and specialty products), material (mineral fiber; fiberglass; metal; gypsum, wood, and other materials); and market (residential and nonresidential). The study also evaluates company market share and competitive analysis on industry competitors including Armstrong World Industries, Knauf, ROCKWOOL, and Saint-Gobain.
Study Highlights include:
- The US ceiling market is projected to grow 3.0% annually through 2026.
- Rebounding nonresidential renovation activity in the US - particularly in the office, retail, and healthcare building sectors - will fuel gains.
- Advances will be boosted by expanding use of specialty products such as clouds, baffles, and stretch ceilings, including in conjunction with open plenum designs.
- Growth in the residential market will be bolstered by rising interest in decorative wood and metal ceiling tiles in renovation projects.
