Emerging Trends in Siding Market No changes expected to the current structure of the siding industry between 2022 and 2027. A shift to specifying siding based on performance as opposed to replacement should occur around 2025-2027. Products that reduce energy transfer and increase installation and construction speed should be selected by building product specifiers. • Sustainability: Use of raw materials should become more efficient, and construction products should contain less embodied energy. Codes and industry standards will continue to drive the use of siding with reduced service life and embodied energy. Construction materials should also contain recycled content to reduce the amount of construction waste. • Digital Manufacturing: Use of computer-controlled systems and digital systems should continue to improve product consistency and reduce variation. Greater investment in digital and automated manufacturing systems should reduce the time required to change a product and improve the range of profiles available. • Premiumization: More homeowners are requesting high-end finishes, like deeper colors and textured surfaces, as well as high-end faux wood finishes. CertainTeed released higher-end Cedar Board options in 2025. High-end products will become more common as homeowners want low-maintenance products to improve the appearance of their home. • Automation: In 2025, the AGC reported that 92% of contractors found qualifying workers to be a challenge. Products that promote faster installation will likely gain in popularity. • Diversification: Both raw material and finished product suppliers are becoming more local in an effort to create a more secure supply chain. U.S. housing demands have remained relatively high, with 2025 projections showing an annualized housing start of 1.37 million. More secure supply chains will benefit construction and help meet housing demands. Contractors have more options when it comes to the appearance and performance of the products they use. Lower-maintenance products are likely to be specified over products that require frequent upkeep. Durable, consistently coloured products, and products with a higher recycled content are likely to gain in popularity. Products will likely become more expensive to produce, so suppliers will need to focus on improving their processes to gain an edge. Recent Developments in the Siding Market Demand for siding was strong in 2025, and producers prepared for 2026 and 2027. During this time, producers focused on positioning fibre cement, engineered wood, vinyl replacement, and other high-end siding systems. Remodeling is the more reliable of the two, and new construction is typically balanced by replacement construction. • Consolidation: The acquisition of The AZEK Company by James Hardie (which was announced in May 2025 for approximately 8.75 billion dollars) will provide James Hardie with additional distribution and wider product lines, and integrate two of the larger competitors in the exterior building products industry. • Expansion: The 2025 investment by LP Building Solutions for additional Smart Side siding production at its Houlton, Maine facility is expected to extend and improve the company’s existing product offerings. Engineered wood products, like Smart Side siding, provide better durability and easier installation when compared to solid wood products. • Product Innovation: James Hardie started selling their Colo Plus Technology siding products in North America in March 2025, and expanded their factory-finished colour options. As it takes a significant amount of labour to paint siding, especially if that siding is fibre cement, heredities (heredity is a portmanteau of hard it is) for contractors to find and hire enough skilled labour. Pre-finished siding becomes even more desirable in these situations. • Strategic Collaboration: Building demands shifted in 2025 as more and more builders required integrated building systems. Building products manufacturers partnered with building product distributors in an attempt to integrate building systems. CertainTeed broadened their training and specification programs for builders in 2025. • Regulatory: New building codes and improving energy codes, pushed for the use of higher performing building systems and assemblies, including the use of cladding systems with insulation, in 2025. Manufacturers focused on ensuring and improving the R-value of their building products. Making higher performing building products and cladding systems for the building industry. The main trends in the building products industry are towards integrated building systems, and systems that reduce the labour required to build a building. Improving the supply of raw materials should help ease some of the constraints builders face when constructing a building. Premium building products should help building product manufacturers protect their margins. Strategic Growth Opportunities in the Siding Market In 2024 through 2026, the siding market is expected to expand as a result of changes in the building industry due to more stringent energy codes and insurance requirements, as well as labour shortages. According to Lucintel, the building industry is moving towards the use of high-performance building materials. As a result, other building industry competitors are moving away from the conventional building material market. • Energy Efficient Cladding: In 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that the seasonally adjusted rate of new housing starts was 1.366 million. During the next few years, code compliance will require the use of building materials that reduce the energy cost of building financing. Continuous exterior building systems may help meet the requirements of lowering the energy cost of building financing. • Renovation of Multifamily Housing: Owners of multifamily properties also have a large potential for siding replacement. Improving the appearance of a multifamily property and controlling moisture issues increases the property value. According to Freddie Mac, 2025 multifamily mortgage origination estimates were $560 billion. Owners of older properties may wish to renovate the façade as part of a planned improvement of the rental property. • Premium Resilient Products: Fiber cement and engineered wood products, as well as some polymers, may command an improved margin in high storm and insurance areas. In February 2025, James Hardie reported net sales for the year of approximately $4.4 billion. As building owners become more concerned about the life cycle of the building and the maintenance service costs, products with longer service life and lesser maintenance may be spec’d more often. • Digital Manufacturing: The use of computer-controlled machinery in manufacturing may result in walls and partitions that are fully finished in the factory and may also result in a reduction in the field labour and field waste in construction. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in March 2025, the employment in the construction sector was approximately 8.3 million. Continuous flow of work may become a priority for contractors and may also reduce the level of control and predictability required for scheduling work. • Low Carbon Materials: Materials with a lower carbon footprint may be spec’d in place of other materials in areas where embodied carbon is a concern. In January 2025, the European Commission announced an allocation of €1 billion to reduce carbon emissions in the building sector. The need to reduce carbon footprint may also result in the specification of a particular product. While product volume will still be a key driver for the siding industry, product differentiation will also be just as critical. Renovation of the building stock will continue to be a key market segment. Energy codes and building codes as well as changing insurance and construction practices will continue to influence the market. Siding Market Drivers and Challenges Technological, economic, ecological, social, and legal factors impact the market for siding. So do construction levels and trends. Customer preferences and building regulations evolve. More durable materials are combined with improved design and production technologies. The building code, as well as other regulations, drive innovation, especially in the areas of fire and impact protection, sound and moisture insulation, and ease of assembly. Other factors of competition include price, aesthetics, and the expected service life of building components. Lucintel analyzes these factors and helps clients define areas of competitive advantage. Demand for building components will increasingly balance the need for an appealing building with functional components that meet building regulations. The factors responsible for driving this market include: • Renovation and Replacement: The changing needs and preferences of homeowners, along with the damage caused to homes by the elements and other forces beyond the homeowners’ control, creates the need to renovate and replace homes on a continuous basis. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in January 2025, privately owned housing starts remained above 1 million annualized units. Demand for renovation and replacement of homes is expected to remain in the foreseeable future and siding replacement is expected to comprise a major segment of the overall siding market during this period. Siding that enhances the aesthetic appearance of a home and offers improved weather resistance is expected to find greater acceptance during the replacement cycle. • Advancing Technologies and New Products: There has been considerable product improvement and new product development by siding manufacturers. Some of the more recently introduced improvements and new products include integration of insulation, advancements in fastening systems and color consistency. There has also been considerable product advancement in other exterior building materials. It is expected that in the next 3 to 5 years, homebuilders and homebuyers will be more concerned about the lifecycle performance of building materials and the gains in service life and energy efficiency provided by such materials. • Energy Efficiency: High energy costs to heat and cool buildings have increased awareness about the benefits of building envelope upgrades, including the use of insulated siding, continuous insulation, air sealing and thermal bridge elimination. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in February 2025 forecasted continued interest by homeowners in energy efficiency improvements, thereby justifying homeowner investments to improve energy efficiency. Siding has traditionally been considered a building’s architectural element and, therefore, an aesthetic element. Siding that enhances building energy performance and codes compliance is rapidly becoming an economic imperative to improve occupant comfort and reduce building energy use and costs. In the next three to five years, the adoption of similar codes and building energy performance standards will lead to increased demand for energy performance integrated siding systems. The demand will primarily be driven by the building industry’s need to achieve the performance standards. • Sustainability and Circularity: Improvements in materials science and manufacturing is enabling the building industry to use more raw materials in a more circular and sustainable manner. In April 2025, the U.S. EPA launched new guidelines to reward building construction industry partners for the use of low embodied carbon materials in construction. The use of lightweight siding, in combination with improvements in logistical and transportation energy and emissions, may offer substantial benefits over the next 15-20 years. Similar to energy and environmental performance, in the next 3-5 years the building construction industry will primarily reward suppliers that provide authentic performance and improvement in the end of life of a building and its materials. • Construction and Manufacturing Trends: Growth in the construction of residential and commercial properties and infrastructure, as well as maintenance and repair activities, influences the consumption of siding. Demand for siding is also driven by the seasonal nature of the construction industry and the need for quick installation of exterior walls. In 2025, U.S. homebuilders reported continuing strong demand for new homes in spite of financing constraints. Manufacturers of building materials have improved their automation and production systems and have centralized facilities to produce building components, such as panels and boards. Simplifying construction procedures through the use of factory-applied finishes and other methods to decrease the level of fabrication and assembly required on the building site would enhance construction productivity. Improved productivity and automation in the building materials industry would facilitate the entry of new competitors to provide building construction materials at lower prices and improve the reliability of their supply. This would be especially beneficial to the construction industry, which is increasingly constrained by the lack of available labor. The challenges facing this market include: • Interest Rates and Housing Affordability: In the current economy, higher interest rates lead to greater financial restraints for builders and homeowners. This can put the brakes on the construction of new homes as well as remodeling. As of March 2025, high expenses and rates combined with decreased affordability made it so that homeowners had very little, if any, money in their budget for things like a new roof. Siding projects would only be done if it was a necessary expense (like if the current siding was bad and posed a risk to the house) or if it improved the energy efficiency of the home. In the next 5 years, the main factor that will influence the demand for housing will be how the economy and rates affect the average household income. If the economy is strong, suppliers of building products (and services) should take the average life cycle of a building, the product or service they offer, and financing, if available, to demonstrate how they can improve the value of a home. • Code Compliance and Installation Concerns: Continual advancements in building codes to address various factors such as fire, wind, building water and air tightness, energy, and the building product’s lifecycle (emissions and waste) have resulted in greater code compliance challenges. In June 2025, many building code jurisdictions changed and enhanced their code compliance procedures. As a result, building product manufacturers and owners need to ensure their products and construction systems are installed in accordance with approved testing protocols. Code and design assumptions must account for varying code compliance practices, building conditions, and the intended use of the building. Poor construction and installation practices can increase the risk of building failure, moisture problems, and failures due to lack of building system integration. In the next five years, building product manufacturers and owners will need to improve the design and construction systems to integrate and verify the ongoing performance of building systems. The building products market is experiencing positive growth due to the increasing demand for improved building renovation, energy and sustainability codes. Innovations in building products have the potential to increase the market share of building products. Products that improve building energy efficiency and decrease the building’s lifecycle impact are expected to increase in the building product market. Market participants should be prepared to quickly adjust their building products to meet compliance and performance needs. Offering building products at an affordable price in an increasingly competitive market will be a challenge for market participants.
