Market Overview:

Cladding systems are used for creating an aesthetically pleasing exterior facade on buildings. They provide protection from water and weathering while also improving energy efficiency. Stone cladding systems are gaining popularity as they provide durability and high insulation properties compared to other traditional cladding materials.

Market key trends:

Rise in construction activities coupled with growing popularity of green buildings is a major driver for cladding systems market growth. Furthermore, stone cladding systems aid in reducing carbon footprint of buildings due to their long lifespan and natural insulating properties. They do not emit volatile organic compounds and are completely recyclable at the end of building life. Recent advances in adhesive and mounting technologies for stone cladding have increased their usage in both renovation and new construction projects. Development of large format tiles and slabs has further improved productivity and reduced wastage. This has boosted demand for stone cladding systems segment.

Segment Analysis
The global cladding systems market is dominated by ceramic cladding which accounted for over 50% share of the total market in 2023 owing to its resistance to fire, moisture, and thermal shock. Ceramic cladding comes in numerous finishes and textures and are ideal for both commercial and residential applications.
