Building & Construction
This sector represented 26% in volume and 15% in value of the entire global composite market in 2010*: about 2.05 Mt and 10.2 Bn€. Its volume should represent 2.2 Mt in 2015*. Building & construction represents about one third of the composite consumption in Asia. Here are few examples of developments in this important application sector within our composite community. * Publisher's own data.
