Global Light Gauge Steel Framing Market by Type (Wall Bearing, Long Span, Skeleton), by End-use (Commercial, Residential) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global light gauge steel framing market was valued at USD 32.9 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 4.6%) between 2021 and 2028. The overall market growth is expected to be driven by a rise in construction-related activities both in developed and developing countries. The global market growth is expected to be supported by several housing programs that have been implemented by governments in developing countries like India and China over the next eight year. A variety of technological innovations have also led to improved strength, stability, safety, and durability.

These products will be used in a wider range of applications in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors over the next few years. This is due to their increased strength, which allows them to be used in constructions with more than three floors. The largest revenue share was held by the residential market in 2020. It is expected to continue to grow at a healthy CAGR between 2021 and 2028.

Pre-fabricated structures make it easier to complete construction projects using light gauge steel framing. This will fuel the market demand for the next few years. Market growth is also driven by the need to reduce production costs for building construction.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic in the world had a major impact on market growth in 2020. Many manufacturing companies experienced a drop in revenues in Q1 and Q2 2020. The market saw growth in the second half of Q3 and beginning of Q4 2020. Market leaders are focused on increasing their market presence by acquiring and merging with other players.

Type Insights

The global market's largest revenue share was held by the wall-bearing segment, which accounted for more than 46% of the total. The fastest CAGR is expected to be registered by the skeleton segment due to their increasing use in commercial buildings. Skeleton steel framing is used to support the building's structure and offers greater stability and strength for multi-story buildings.

It is expected to be in high demand in residential sectors, particularly in developed countries like the U.S.A and the U.K. The segment's growth has been positively affected by improvements in insulation materials and manufacturing procedures. This means that product use in commercial and residential applications is now safer.

The market is currently dominated by traditional designs. However, these designs will be gradually replaced by eco-friendly, modern designs in the coming eight years. Market players can expect to see growth opportunities due to the easy availability of raw material and rapid demand from end-use industries, which is a result of the recovery of global economies.

End-use Insights

With over 44% of global market revenue in 2020, the residential segment was the most lucrative. It is widely used for structural support in residential and commercial buildings. Due to increasing customer awareness in the U.S. and Japan about the benefits of product use to reduce project completion times, residential product penetration is expected to grow over the next few year.

Modern technology has made it possible to use light gauge steel framing for commercial buildings that have more than three floors. Due to increased material strength, improved manufacturing processes and greater awareness about the economic benefits of this product, it is expected that product adoption will increase significantly over the next eight year.

Over the forecast period, the rise in commercial buildings such as hotels, retail stores, hospitals, warehouses and medical centers in emerging economies like India and Brazil is expected to increase the product demand for commercial construction applications.

Due to their exceptional structural capabilities, both developed and developing countries will see a rapid industrialization.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the dominant market with a revenue share greater than 44% in 2020. From 2021 to 2028, the regional market will expand at a 5.5% annual growth rate. The increasing construction of industrial and commercial buildings in Asia, particularly China and India, has contributed to the growth of the region market.

Due to large-scale restructuring undertaken by local governments, North America and Europe together accounted for nearly 43% of the market share in 2020. Customers, especially in the U.S.A and U.K. are expected to adopt innovative metal framing techniques to help them redevelop their buildings and use light gauge steel framing as structural support.

These regions are very adaptable to new technologies. The product is likely to have a high penetration in the residential and commercial sectors, which will positively impact market growth. Due to its large construction sector and many ongoing and upcoming major construction projects, the Middle East will continue to be a significant market.
