The ventilated facade market held up in 2020

It emerges from this study that the cumulative turnover of SNBVI members, facades and accessories, is nearly € 122 million for the year 2020.

"Despite the perception that this figure offers, it is interesting to note that the activity of the ventilated facade has held up relatively well with regard to the general activity of the building", recognizes Stéphane Lambert, President of SNBVI. “Intervention from outside of construction, regardless of the activity inside it, offers great flexibility to our systems, allowing for a faster recovery of activity, more coordinable, more serene. In the positive aftermath of 2019, the first quarter of 2020 was buoyant before the arrival of the pandemic. The activity at the end of 2020 turned out to be rather dynamic in general ”.

For the current year, the continuity with the end of 2020 continues. “For the 2021 forecast, we are on an uptrend at + 6%. Visibility over the first half of the year is satisfactory. », Notes Stéphane Lambert. The UNICEM survey expects a cumulative turnover of around € 129 million at the end of 2021.

Although freshly postponed to January 1, 2022, the RE2020 will highlight this year the dry sector, whose responses, both technical and enhancement of facades, are relevant to the first approaches of this text. However, the SNBVI still deplores the shortage of qualified labor in the fields of construction, which its members strive to reduce on a daily basis by providing training and technical assistance. The Syndicate is also closely monitoring the sharp increases, but also the risks of disruptions in the supply of raw materials, impacting fixings and accessories in particular.
