Market Opportunity

The market opportunity for Insulated Concrete Forms is extensive and only limited by the amount of new construction activity. In the residential new construction segment 2006 housing starts are trending at an annualized rate of 1.6 million. The current ICF share position of that number is 6% and growing at a significant rate. Insulated Concrete Formed Walls are projected to penetrate further into the overall housing start number to as much as 15% by 2008. Even though housing starts are forecast to dip down, the share growth opportunity is still significant. In the commercial segment, Insulated Concrete Forms are also continuing to make their presence felt.
