Dry Construction Market Strategic Outlook
Dry construction technique (DCT) involves lightweight construction of interior walls, ceilings and floors, using composite panels or boards installed on metal or timber structures that are joined at the time of installing. Dry construction techniques offer numerous advantages over wet construction techniques such as low-cost, time-effectiveness, ease of installation, eco-friendly, better thermal and sound insulation, less energy consumption, moisture resistance, and fire safety.

How this market is covered
Revenue split by type
Revenue by end use
Dry construction technique is 8-10 times lighter than the traditional brick and cement work. It allows up to 70% saving of construction time and also provides freedom of design. The width of the wall constructed with dry construction technique is only 80 mm in comparison to the 200 mm standard walls made of brick, leading to an increase of the carpet area in the process. Dry construction technique is great help for affordable housing in developing nations. Dry construction technique speeds the construction process and allows earlier occupancy due to use of dry materials.
The Asia Pacific region is the largest dry construction market followed by North America and Europe. Asia Pacific will remain as the fastest growing market in forecast period. Increased demand from retail, healthcare and education sectors along with increasing demand from the commercial sector with increasing disposable income have driven the dry construction market in Asia Pacific. The rise in global real estate construction, infrastructure development activities, and increasing trend towards sustainable building techniques are the most significant factor that will drive demand in the global dry construction market.
