Outdoor Noise Barriers - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

The US market for outdoor noise barriers will reach $116 million in 2007 as state budgets improve for both new and retrofit applications along highways. Precast concrete and concrete block will remain the dominant materials, the former able to incorporate recycled tire crumbs and other additives to form a noise-absorptive barrier panel.

This study analyzes the US outdoor noise barrier industry. It presents historical US demand data (1992, 1997 and 2002) and forecasts to 2007 and 2012 by material (e.g., concrete, wood, metal, composite); by market (highways and roads, airports, other transportation and other nonbuilding); and by US geographic region.

The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 37 industry competitors including CRH, Durisol, Hanson, Industrial Acoustics, Proudfoot, and Rinker Group.
