The Building Materials, Mechanical and Industrial Product sector is dynamic and diverse but also rapidly changing. The global construction materials market alone is forecast to grow with an anticipated CAGR of 8.9% for the five-year period 2011 – 2016. This growth is expected to drive the market to a value of $1,016 billion by the end of 2016. However industry leaders today are faced with ongoing human resources and technological performance issues while eliminating or reinventing the traditional sales models that no longer exhibit value or efectiveness.
Building material laws, planning and zoning constraints and regional/international building regulations for industrial, retail, o ce, residential and leisure-related projects also play a significant role in the success or failure of a project.
After surviving the economic downturn and years of stagnant construction in the US in particular, one of the biggest questions industry leaders must answer is whether or not to bring their capacity back online.
This situation presents opportunities and risk. Adding a second shift (or even reviving closed manufacturing plants) could deliver gains in volume and share, however pricing power might erode if competing businesses also choose to bring back capacity.
