US Industry Study with Forecasts for 2018 & 2023
Gains will be driven by a rebound in nonresidential building construction, a recovery in improvement and repair activity, and growing interest in better performing ceiling products.
US demand to rise 7.3%
annually through 2018
Demand for ceiling products in the US is
forecast to advance 7.3 percent per
annum through 2018 to $2.5 billion. A
rebound in nonresidential building
construction will drive gains as the
ceiling market continues its recovery
from declines following the 2007-2009
economic recession. In addition to new
nonresidential building construction, a
recovery in improvement and repair
activity and growing interest in ceiling
products that offer improved performance and aesthetics will boost value
demand through the forecast period.
Key ceiling tile segment
to post strong growth
Through 2018, ceiling tile demand is
expected to post strong growth of 6.6
percent per year to $1.4 billion, supported by an improving building construction market. Furthermore, efforts by
manufacturers to improve the aesthetics
of ceiling tiles, including more colors,
varied perforation designs, and the use
of an increasing variety of materials such
as wood and metal, will boost value
demand. In addition, many architects
and designers have moved toward open
plenum ceilings and open floor plan
spaces in office and institutional buildings, where sound control is important
for productivity. While building features
such as open plenum ceilings serve as a
check on ceiling tile area demand, these

Specialty & Other
Products
designs boost tile value demand as more
costly ceiling tiles with improved noise
reduction properties are often selected
so as to offer similar sound quality to full
wall-to-wall ceilings, but with less overall
ceiling coverage.
Specialty & other ceiling
products to be fastest
growing segment
Specialty ceiling products are forecast to
see the most rapid growth in demand
through 2018, reaching $543 million on
11 percent annual advances. The
frequency of use of specialty ceiling
products, including clouds, baffles, and
stretch ceilings, has grown since the

Page Tile
early 2000s, and it is expected to
continue to do so through the forecast
period. For example, design trends that
call for specialty material ceiling tiles will
support rising demand for specialty trims
to conceal metal ceiling grids and
improve the aesthetics of the ceiling.
Additionally, trends toward spaces that
are more open to the architectural ceiling
will increase the installation of products
such as clouds or baffles where wall-towall ceilings may have previously been
installed. Increasingly stringent and
widespread regulations on seismic
design will also continue to boost
demand as more builders will install
additional bracing products for suspended ceiling systems.

sample
table
Ceiling tile demand made up three-fifths of all nonresidential
improvement and repair ceiling expenditures in 2013. Ceiling tiles are
often replaced in nonresidential buildings when they become damaged
due to moisture, impact, or breakage when they are removed for access
to the ducts and electrical work that they conceal. Furthermore, ceiling
tiles are regularly replaced as part of routine building improvement projects. These factors boost ceiling tile improvement and repair spending.
Ceiling tile demand in the nonresidential improvement and repair market
is projected to reach $970 million in 2018 on 5.2 percent annual growth.
Rising interest in various value-added options for tile, including materials like wood or metal, custom colors and designs, and improved noise
reduction coefficients (NRC) and light reflective values (LR values),
will boost value demand even as design trends move toward less overall
coverage of the architectural ceiling.
