Demand for fiber cement siding is projected to grow 3.3% per year to 2.1 billion square feet in 2022, according to a new report by Cleveland-based research firm Freedonia.

The market value of the product is expected to reach $1.6 billion, aided by increases in average prices and a shift in product mix to higher-value products.

Freedonia says fiber cement siding will continue to improve its market share at the expense of vinyl siding due to its aesthetic and performance advantages.
