Precast Concrete Is Making Inroads Against Competitive Products in Structural Construction

2022-06-16 05:54:38 By : Ms. Dina Ding

CLEVELAND , May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Structural building components account for the leading share of precast concrete demand by product, and demand is expected to grow at the fastest pace through 2026, according to a new Freedonia Group analysis. Precast concrete products will be increasingly specified as concrete slabs, prefabricated buildings, foundations, and supports because of their:

ease of installation, which reduces construction costs and labor needs, a key factor as workers in general and skilled laborers in particular become increasingly scarce

greater durability than competitive products like poured-in-place concrete

consistent quality due to their production in factory settings

However, precast concrete products will continue to compete with poured-in-place concrete – throughout the forecast period and beyond – due to the latter's lower cost and familiarity among building contractors.

US Precast Concrete Products Demand to Grow Nearly 6% Annually Through 2026

The Freedonia Group projects demand for precast concrete products to increase 5.9% per year to $18.5 billion in 2026. Gains will be driven by:

a massive influx of federal funding for infrastructure projects

the rising specification of precast concrete over competitive products because of its durability, strength, ease of installation, and ability to be customized

Precast Concrete Products provides historical data for 2011, 2016, and 2021 and forecasts to 2026 for precast concrete product demand in millions of dollars by product, market, and region and subregion.

The biggest news of the week is coming from the Federal Reserve. The central bank’s open market committee (FOMC), tasked with setting interest rates to match the current environment, closed its meeting with the announcement of a 75-basis point increase in the benchmark interest rate. The hike, which was the Fed’s largest single move since 1994, brings the rate to the range of 1.5% to 1.75%, and shows that the central bank is committed to fighting inflation.
