In 2023, Thailand led the global export market for non-corrugated asbestos and cellulose fibre cement sheets or tiles, with a significant share of 39.01%. Notably, Slovenia experienced a remarkable increase, up by 156.81% year-on-year. Other countries showing growth include Malaysia, the United States, and Belgium. Conversely, markets like Chile, Australia, and the Philippines faced declines. Japan stood out with an impressive 207.27% growth, indicating a potential shift or strategic entry into this market sector. Long-term trends depict moderate growth across several major exporters, with few exceptions such as Romania and Zambia facing significant contractions.
Future trends suggest monitoring the potential shifts in demand for green and sustainable construction materials, which might impact export patterns. Continued innovation and tighter regulations regarding asbestos usage may also influence the market dynamics, leading to a possible rise in cellulose-based alternatives. Additionally, geopolitical factors could play a role in shaping export landscapes, particularly for countries heavily reliant on specific trade partnerships.
