Report Scope of the U.S. Fencing Market

Material Insights

On the basis of material, the market has been segmented into metal, wood, plastic and composite, and concrete. The metal fencing segment dominated the market in 2021 owing to its increased demand from the residential sector and government organizations, as well as for public places, associations, and businesses. Metal fencing is widely adopted owing to its security, minimal maintenance requirements, and durability attributes. The availability of metal fencing at a variety of prices makes it easier for buyers to select the fencing based on their requirements.

The cost-effectiveness, security, and aesthetic value of metal fencing are driving the segment growth. The concrete segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid rate over the forecast period owing to the easy installation and maintenance, and strength the material provides. Concrete fences are available in numerous designs and are easy to customize, thereby creating opportunities for the segment growth over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing the adoption of stackable concrete fencing in non-residential buildings is expected to drive the segment growth.

Distribution Channel Insights

Based on the distribution channel, the U.S. fencing market has been segmented into online and retail. Growing awareness of the benefits offered by online channels encourages suppliers to opt for these channels over offline distribution channels. The benefits of online channels include considerably lower startup costs, less capital, and better customer experience. Online channels also help in building and maintaining better customer relations across a variety of platforms.

Retail emerged as the largest distribution channel segment in 2019. Fencing manufacturers in the U.S. prefer selling their products through distributors and their sales and services centers. Suppliers often choose the offline channel as it allows them to run their business without making investments in marketing budgets. Offline channels also help businesses improve visibility and build brand value.

Installation Insights

Based on the installation, the market has been segmented into Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and contractor. Fences installed by professionals have a high level of quality, require lesser time and effort, and ensure durability and longevity owing to the superior materials they use. Fencing manufacturers collaborate with contractors who have knowledge pertaining to installation. This is anticipated to drive the segment growth.

Customers prefer it if their fences are installed by professionals as their placement and aesthetics in the premises play a crucial role in determining the value of the property. The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) installation packages are tailored to customer needs. However, the installation of fences by the do-it-yourself method lacks quality due to inadequate experience. This ultimately results in the deterioration of the appearance and value of a property.

End-use Insights

Based on end use, the market has been segmented into government, petroleum and chemicals, military and defense, mining, energy and power, transport, and others. The military and defense segment dominates the market owing to the adoption of fencing for multiple applications such as military buildings and defense infrastructures to prevent intrusions and ensure the security of assets within military installations. Moreover, increasing the need for improving border security and other military applications is significantly driving the demand for fencing in the military and defense segment. Furthermore, military and defense operations are constantly exposed to potential attacks and volatile situations, thereby creating growth opportunities for fencing.

The energy and power segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The premises of energy and power stations are required to be completely barricaded by fences, CCTVs, and other security equipment. Furthermore, owing to increasing terrorist activities, governments are maintaining tight security at power generation centers and energy stations. Electric fencing is preferred for the protection of energy and power stations as fences are long-lasting, can be easily constructed and maintained, and can be modified based on requirements.

Application Insights

Based on the application, the market has been segmented into residential, agricultural, and industrial. The residential segment dominated the market in 2021 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
