US Ceiling Product Market to Expand 3.1% Annually Through 2026

by Corinne Gangloff

May 4, 2022

Cleveland OH, May 4, 2022 – The Freedonia Group forecasts demand for ceiling products in the US to increase 3.1% annually to $2.4 billion in 2026. Market advances will be driven by:

  • a rebound in commercial building construction – bolstered by increased renovations in office and institutional buildings – following the declines of 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • design trends favoring enhanced acoustics and aesthetics in commercial buildings, resulting in a shift away from drywall and building plaster to ceiling tiles and specialty products
  • increased market penetration of specialty products, including greater use of these products in conjunction with open plenum designs in retail buildings
  • rising use of decorative wood and metal ceiling tiles in residential renovation projects – on ceilings as well as on walls and other surfaces

However, the market will continue to be restrained by the popularity of drywall and building plaster in residential applications, as well as in some commercial applications. 

Supply Chain Disruptions Exacerbated Price Increases in 2021, Boosting Value Demand

In 2021, pandemic-driven supply chain disruptions and other factors led to a sharp increase in average prices for ceiling products in 2021, boosting value demand growth in that year. In addition to shifts in the product mix toward higher value products, ceiling product prices were also affected by changes in the cost of raw materials such as metals, mineral fiber, wood, fiberglass, and plastics, many of which saw above average pricing growth during the pandemic. Going forward, pricing growth is expected to moderate from the elevated levels of 2021, causing a deceleration in ceiling product demand growth in value terms, despite demand in area terms accelerating over the same period.
