MONTHLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR FEBRUARY 2024
The Forecast provides an in-depth monthly outlook for the home improvement industry, guiding professionals through upcoming trs and challenges. This month’s review highlights expected market conditions including material cost trs, specific construction sector predictions, as well as innovations reshaping the building landscape.
MATERIAL COST GROWTH TO STABILIZE IN THE COMING YEAR
While inflationary pressures and supply chn disruptions will continue to affect costs in 2024, experts predict that increases are expected to slow down compared to previous years. The rise in housing starts might propel more construction activity but it will not be as rapid as observed previously.
The robust manufacturing sector including computers and electronics saw strong growth in 2023; this tr is anticipated to persist in the upcoming year. However, construction sectors such as retl, office buildings, warehouses, hotels, and parking facilities are forecasted for a marginal downturn of approximately 2 in total starts compared to the substantial decline recorded in 2023 6. A significant factor influencing this reduction will be the decrease in warehouse construction activities by 11.
Office constructions are projected to witness slight declines following growth rates of 5 in 2023. Growth for data centers is, however, predicted. Hotel starts may drop by about 5 in 2024 but are likely to experience a recovery.
INNOVATIONS IN SUSTNABLE MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY
The construction industry's embrace of new and sustnable materials continues to grow every year. The adoption of cross-laminated timber CLT is accelerating, currently valued at $1.2 billion globally and expected to reach $3.7 billion by 2030.
Cross-laminated timber offers several advantages over traditional construction materials: it requires less energy for production, is significantly lighter than concrete with comparable strength, provides better fire resistance, and can be assembled faster than many alternative materials. The importance of CLT in the market will undoubtedly continue to increase year after year.
