The subject of this research is plastic siding — a material that represents finishing-decorative panels used for outside planking of buildings. The process of planking imitates wood paneling using small overlapping panels ("herringbone") or thick planks ("shipboard panel"). There are two main types of the plastic siding: - vinyl siding – moulded panels that are a little more than 1 mm thick made of PVC by means of extrusion. Standard panel size – 3,66х0,25 m; - plinth siding – is distinguished by greater thickness (more than 2mm) and improved protective qualities. As a rule, the texture of this material imitates brick, lathing, stone. At the moment there is a wide assortment of siding panels at the Russian market, that differ mostly by the material of production: plastic, metal, wooden, fiber-cement. In the aggregate sales volume the share of the plastic siding is accounted for by the half of the market ( about 53%). At that namely the segments of vinyl and plinth siding are characterized by the most active dynamics of development. Research geography: Russia Research chronology: - retrospective – 2006–2013; - forecast – 2014–2018 The research report consists of 4 parts. The first part contains the following information: the overview of the plastic siding, the external factors influencing the market of plastic siding and main indicators of the Russian market of this type of siding. The second part is devoted to the market of vinyl siding. The Russian market of vinyl siding (size and dynamics, production and foreign trade), competitive, price and assortment analyzes are described in this chapter. The third part is devoted to the market of plinth siding (same as in the previous part size and dynamics, production and foreign trade are described). The fourth part describes the perspectives of the market of plastic siding. This chapter contains PEST-analysis of the market of plastic siding and the forecast of its development up to 2018. The conclusion contains the main results of the Russian plastic siding market research. This research report is intended for the market players (competitive analysis), potentials investors, builders, consumers, and the representatives of related markets (suppliers and producers of competitive cladding, suppliers of raw materials – PVC, resins, polypropylene).
