The building products industry report features an in-depth examination of the state of the U.S. housing market, highlighting compelling fundamentals that provide the foundation for future growth. Key takeaways include:
- Expectations of easing inflation and lower interest rates should continue to put downward pressure on mortgage rates.
- The deficit of affordable housing will need to be filled in part by accelerating the pace of new home construction.
- Home builder and government incentives should entice many prospective buyers and sellers to return to the market.
- Consumers continue to signal a strong desire to invest in their existing homes, with $450 billion+ projected to be spent on repair and remodeling (R&R) activities in 2024.
While tempered housing demand in 2023 has slowed down related building products M&A activity, BGL believes conditions will improve in line with the strengthening housing market.
Transactions such as MITER Brands’ announcement in January 2024 of its $3.1 billion acquisition of PGT Innovations (pending) and ASSA ABLOY’s $4.3 billion purchase of the Hardware and Home Improvement Business from Spectrum Brands in June 2023 underscore strong investor conviction about the long-term prospects for both the residential new construction and R&R markets.
BGL’s Building Products investment banking team is highly experienced in the residential, commercial construction, and infrastructure segments. We have successfully completed building products transactions across a wide range of end markets, from basic building materials such as aggregates, lumber, and pavers and pre-cast products to complex fenestration extrusions, glass fabrications, curtain wall, and highly engineered specialty coatings.
