Engineering and Building Materials
The global pandemic has had a multifaceted effect on the engineering and building materials and supply industry. Disruptions in supply chains and fluctuations in outputs left the market in a temporary vacuum, resulting in surging raw material prices. The rising demand for bigger and more contemporary living spaces, however, resulted in a residential housing boom brought on by increases in working from home and low housing stock availability.
With the market bouncing back, suppliers and manufacturers alike are adapting to new trends. More and more customers are dealing directly with manufacturers while surpassing wholesalers. Additionally, both construction, as well as the material supply sectors, are experiencing a strong push towards digitization by way of 4D and 5D simulation technology for production planning as well as intelligent business management tools. The global push towards sustainability is driving new efficiencies and emphasizing the need for raw material and waste minimization.
All this means that the pressure is on for engineering and building materials manufacturers and suppliers to increase operational efficiencies in order to stay competitive and ensure viable profit margins.
