Construction Materials
An 8 percent increase in overall US construction starts is
predicted over the next few years. The Asia Pacific region is
demonstrating a promising outlook, with an increase in backlogs of
more than 20 percent expected in the coming year. In Russia, the
need for living space will nearly triple over the next 20
years.
Despite a worldwide economic downturn, recent studies have
predicted that the construction industry will start to prosper,
leading to a surge in demand for construction materials.
