According to the International Monetary Funds, economic growth in APAC region will be approximately 5.5%-6% through to 2021. China being the top destination for foreign direct investment has also experienced a high demand for fiber cement as it is required in construction without fail. Another factor that has helped APAC in leading the charge is pushing of exchange rate through extensive quantitative easing (QE.)

An innate problem that the world consistently encounters is a need for a sustainable and secure shelter. Population growing at a colossal pace does not help this cause, instead elevating it in return. Construction industry has experienced an unprecedented upsurge in the last decade which has incited innovation in return. One such innovation is fiber reinforcement of cement in order to increase the tenacity. An increase in natural and man-made disasters is an esteemed growth driver of the market and will provide it with necessary impetus to grow. 

fiber cement boards are now being extensively used in harsh environmental conditions, especially as a replacement for aluminum and wood installations. This helps in fields such as marine exploration where the saltiness of the water leads to the eventual degradation of wood installations. fiber cement can also be altered visually and can be made to look like natural planks. This has appealed to the customers perpetually and acted as a growth driver for the market.
