Building Products

Key Trends in the Sector
 

The building products industry and its various subsegments continue to navigate issues stemming from the pandemic, particularly around supply chains and materials availability. Lumber prices, steel availability, raw materials sourcing and other issues continue to dominate the headlines. Fortunately, building products continue to be in high demand as project activity remains strong and market conditions improve.

All of this, combined with future uncertainty tied to inflation, evolving procurement challenges, and the overall health of the broader industry, makes forecasting and creating strategy complex.
