The global siding market is growing at a rapid pace, mainly due to the rising consumer preference to include siding design in constructions. Siding is used in the building exterior to offer extra protection against exposure to the elements, prevent heat loss, and visually unify the facade. Besides, siding improves the durability and aesthetic properties of constructions, making it an irreplaceable modern construction element. 

The burgeoning construction industry is a major driving force allowing its market to increase vigorously. Moreover, the increasing demand for siding escalates the market on the global platform. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global Siding market was valued at USD 100.1 BN in 2018, which is expected to grow at a 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028).

Additionally, the growth in the number of housing projects and various benefits that siding offers increases the demand for siding across the globe. Improving standard of living fuels the demand for home siding, leading to better interior decoration and aesthetic preference. Conversely, the price volatility and demand-supply gap of raw materials required for production are major factors impeding the market growth.
