According to the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program, nearly one-third of energy is consumed in residential, public, and commercial buildings for space cooling, heating, ventilating, cooking, refrigerating, lighting, water heating, and operating electric and mechanical devices. Modernizing cities in several countries and increasing per capita income propel energy use in buildings. High energy consumption in public, residential, and commercial buildings create a need for energy savings. A layer of cement board is applied to the building to reduce heat transfer through the walls, keeping the interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which makes a building energy efficient. According to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, cement board has an R-value of 0.15, which is better than the value of brick and stone. Many cement board products have a finish that reflects light. This reflection helps the building absorb less heat from the sun and keep the building's interior cooler. It reduces the need for air conditioning, saving energy and lowering energy bills. Fiber cement board is often put on top of a layer of foam insulation, making the building energy efficient. This efficiency can help homeowners reduce their energy consumption and energy bills. With an increasing demand for energy-efficient homes, houses are valued higher when built with sustainable resources. All these factors drive the South & Central America cement board market.
The South & Central America cement board market is sub-segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South and Central America. The rise in investment in research & development activities and technological innovation related to the cement board is expected to bolster the growth of the market.
