EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MSI estimate that the French market for roofing
materials decreased by 7 percent in 1996 to a level of 120.6 million m2. This
significant decrease reflected the downturn in French construction activity
during the year and the significant decrease in the fibre cement markets
following the July 1996 law banning the use of asbestos.
Tiles and slates are believed to have accounted
for the largest proportion of the total market in terms of area covered in
1996. Within the tiles and slates market, natural materials such as clay tiles
and slates have gained market share at the expense of concrete tiles and fibre
cement slates. Indeed, French customers are becoming increasingly conservative
and attracted by traditional materials.
Steel accounted for the largest proportion of the
metal roofing market during the 1992 to 1996 period. Demand for steel roofing
was significantly reduced during the review period as this market is strongly
dependent on the new construction market for industrial buildings, retail
superstores and warehouses.
Bituminous roofing felts represented the largest
sector of the waterproofing covers market, accounting for 76 percent of the area
covered. However, synthetic waterproofing covers have gained market share at
the expense of bituminous roofing felts between 1992 and 1996.
The French market for fibre cement and bituminous
large elements declined significantly in 1996 as a result of the July 1996 law
on the banning of asbestos. MSI estimate that in 1996 the market for fibre
cement and bitumen declined by 15 percent. Moreover, the French market for translucent
roofing declined as a result of the fall in the French market for large
elements as they are often installed as a complement.
The level of building activity is by far the
greatest factor affecting demand for roofing materials in France. Between 1990
and 1996 the number of housing and non-housing starts declined by 11 percent and 21 percent
respectively.
MSI forecast that the French market for roofing
materials will decline by a further 2 percent in 1997. However, an expected increase
in housing starts in 1997 will lead to an increase in demand for roofing
materials in 1998. After 1998, MSI believe that the market should increase
further as stability and confidence begin to be restored.
France achieved a trade surplus in terms of volume
for each material under review during the 1992 to 1996 period except for
natural slates.
MSI estimate that the French roofing contracting
market decreased by some 2 percent in nominal terms in 1996 to FF12.9 billion (ECU2.01
billion). Between 1992 and 1996 the French market for roofing contracting
steadily decreased except in 1994 when the construction activity showed signs
of recovery.
