Industry trends:

The NAICS 1742 industry, which encompasses plastering, drywall, acoustical, and insulation work, is witnessing several noteworthy qualitative trends. In recent times, there has been an increased emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency. Companies in this sector are increasingly adopting eco-friendly materials, such as recycled drywall and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) plastering products, to meet green building standards and consumer demand for environmentally responsible construction practices.

Another trend is the growing integration of technology in both administrative and operational processes. The use of digital project management tools, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and drones for site inspections is becoming more prevalent. These technologies help in improving accuracy, reducing costs, and enhancing project timelines.

The labor market for skilled trades, particularly in plastering and drywall installation, is becoming increasingly competitive. Companies are investing more in training programs and apprenticeships to attract and retain skilled workers. This workforce development is crucial as the demand for residential and commercial construction continues to grow.

There is also a shift towards modular construction techniques, where parts of buildings are pre-assembled off-site and then transported for installation on-site. This trend is driven by the need for faster project completion times and the ability to maintain high-quality standards through controlled manufacturing environments.

In terms of forecasts, the near future is expected to see sustained growth in the NAICS 1742 industry, supported by an ongoing boom in the housing market and increased infrastructure spending. However, companies may need to navigate challenges related to supply chain disruptions and fluctuating material costs. Embracing innovation and focusing on sustainability will likely be key differentiators for successful industry players in the coming years.
