세계 클래딩 시장 규모는 2024년 2,722억 달러에 달했습니다. 향후 IMARC Group은 2033년에는 4,349억 달러에 달하고, 2025-2033년 연평균 성장률(CAGR)은 5.08%를 보일 전망입니다. 이 시장을 주도하는 것은 건설 산업의 번영과 수직 정원 및 옥상 정원 보호에 대한 관심 증가입니다. 현재 아시아태평양이 가장 큰 시장 점유율을 차지하고 있는데, 이는 정부의 적극적인 노력과 건축 설계의 스마트 기술 통합에 기인합니다.
클래딩은 건물의 외장과 내장에 부착되어 방습벽과 보호층 역할을 하는 비내하중 건축자재입니다. 일반적으로 목재, 자연석, 금속, 알루미늄, 아연, 구리, 플라스틱, 테라코타, 비닐, 기타 복합재료를 사용하여 제조됩니다. 클래딩은 경량, 내화성, 내열성, 내수성, 방수성, 방음성, 에너지 효율이 우수합니다. 또한 바닥, 벽, 파사드, 고가, 스커트, 화분 등의 미관을 향상시키기 위해 추가되며, 건물의 철골 프레임에 직접 부착됩니다. 이 새로운 클래딩은 이색 윈도우 필름과 함께 제조되어 건물 내부에 자외선(UV) 보호 기능을 제공하여 유지보수 필요성을 최소화합니다.
세계 건설 산업의 괄목할만한 성장은 시장의 밝은 전망을 만드는 중요한 요인 중 하나입니다. 또한, 상업용 및 산업용 건물의 금속 클래딩에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 시장 성장에 박차를 가하고 있습니다. 클래딩은 가혹한 기후 조건, 먼지, 오염, 온도 변화 등에 노출되는 주택 및 비주거용 건축물의 효과적인 보호 시스템으로 널리 사용되고 있습니다. 이에 따라 클래딩이 수직 정원과 옥상 정원을 보호하기 위해 널리 채택되고 있는 것도 시장 성장에 기여하고 있습니다. 또한, 클래딩 시스템에서 섬유 시멘트의 사용이 증가하고 있는 것도 성장을 가속하는 요인으로 작용하고 있습니다. 제품 제조업체들은 농업 폐기물이나 종이 폐기물을 이용한 바이오 지속 가능한 클래딩을 개발하여 녹색 건물에 널리 활용하고 있습니다. 기타 소비자의 소비 여력 증가, 유리한 정부 정책 시행, 특히 신흥 경제국의 대규모 인프라 구축 등이 시장 성장을 가속할 것으로 예측됩니다.
The global claddings market size reached USD 272.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 434.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.08% during 2025-2033. The market is being driven by the thriving construction industry, along with the rising focus on protecting vertical and roof-top gardens. At present, Asia Pacific holds the largest market share, driven by favorable government initiatives and the integration of smart technologies in building design.
Cladding is a non-loadbearing construction material attached to the exterior and interior of the building to act as a moisture barrier and protective layer. It is usually manufactured using wood, natural stone, metal, aluminum, zinc, copper, plastic, terracotta, vinyl and other composite materials. Cladding is lightweight, fireproof, thermal- and water-resistant, soundproof and energy-efficient. It is also added to the floors, walls, facades, plateaus, baseboards and planters to enhance their aesthetic appeal and is directly attached to the steel frame of the building. Novel cladding materials are manufactured with dichromatic window films to provide ultraviolet (UV) protection to the interiors of the building and minimize maintenance requirements.
Significant growth in the construction industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the increasing requirement of metallic claddings in commercial and industrial buildings is providing a thrust to the market growth. Claddings are widely used as effective protective systems in residential and non-residential constructions against exposure to harsh climatic conditions, dust, pollution and changes in temperatures. In line with this, the widespread adoption of claddings for the protection of vertical and roof-top gardens is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing utilization of fiber cement in cladding systems is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Product manufacturers are also developing bio-based and sustainable cladding materials using agricultural and paper waste, which are widely utilized in green buildings. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers and the implementation of favorable government policies, along with extensive infrastructural development, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
Masonry and concrete account for the majority of the market share
Masonry and concrete aid in offering enhanced durability and structural benefits. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, fire, and pests. They offer good thermal mass properties, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling. In addition, they can be customized in various ways textured, painted, or stained, providing aesthetic flexibility to architects and builders. Once installed, masonry and concrete require minimal maintenance, appealing to both residential and commercial property owners. Changing living standards of individuals is impelling the market growth.
Walls hold the largest share of the industry
Walls cladding enhances the structural stability of buildings, protecting against weather elements and contributing to energy efficiency. A wide range of materials such as brick, stone, vinyl, and metal and designs cater to diverse architectural styles. Insulated wall cladding systems help improve the thermal performance of buildings. Besides this, the rising focus on adhering to sustainability goals and energy regulations is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing number of commercial and residential spaces across the globe is supporting the market growth.
Non-residential represents the leading market segment
The non-residential segment includes commercial buildings, industrial facilities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and government structures. Rapid urbanization and the need for new infrastructure in both developing and developed regions are driving claddings market demand. Moreover, non-residential buildings are often subject to stricter energy efficiency regulations. Cladding materials that provide better insulation and energy performance are increasingly required to comply with these regulations. Furthermore, the non-residential sector values aesthetics and functionality, with cladding materials available in various styles and finishes that cater to modern architectural trends. This versatility allows businesses to create visually appealing buildings that also meet functional requirements.
Asia Pacific leads the market, accounting for the largest claddings market share
The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and others); Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa. According to the report, Asia Pacific represents the largest regional market for claddings.
The growing focus on modern architectural designs is offering a favorable market outlook. Moreover, governing agencies in the region are implementing policies to promote sustainable building practices. They are also providing numerous incentives for energy-efficient construction of spaces.
