China Green Building Materials – Growing Opportunities in a Large, Competitive Market
GCiS China Strategic Research has published a study of the China Green Building Materials market, analyzing a cross-section of applications, budgets and thermal zones in Mainland China.
Beijing, China, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A recent study values the market for green building materials, which are materials specifically designed to reduce the energy load of a building, at over RMB 100 billion (USD 15 Bn), making this market one of the largest of its kind in the world. Growth is expected to remain in double digits for much of the next decade as the torrent of construction spreads to China’s interior. Greener building standards and the rising energy costs are the market’s main propellants.
Despite these strong fundamentals, growth markets in China’s second tier cities pose challenges for suppliers. Enforcement of energy standards is uneven and customers are highly price sensitive. This will intensify an already competitive market, with pricing battles between the thousands of suppliers crowding in. Both buyers and sellers are taking a pragmatic approach to green building materials. Successful marketing messages emphasize how much money a particular material saves and how quickly it delivers the saving.
”Once their functional needs are met, property developers, who are the primary customers, look for the lowest pricing,” said Edward Barlow, senior analyst and author of the study. “In this market a huge volume of low-end products compresses pricing all-around, making it very difficult to sell deep green solutions,” Barlow added.
“Those buying building materials are far removed from those paying the utilities bills.”
