The Plastering and Ceiling Services industry generates the bulk of its revenue from installing plasterboard and cornice products in new residential buildings. The plaster content of residential buildings has gradually diminished because housing preferences have shifted towards higher-density apartments, which typically have a smaller wall and ceiling area per dwelling unit than houses. Plastering work undertaken by DIY homeowners and other construction trades is a substitutive threat that also constrains the industry’s performance.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $7.5bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
