The UK management consultancy AMA Research estimates the size of the building materials trade in the European Union at € 110 bn.

The market researchers are reckoning on further moves towards rationalisation of the heavily fragmented market. They also see increased opportunities for companies to expand throughout Europe in the continuing integration of the EU.
