Fiber cement, also known as fiber reinforced cement (FRC), is a composite building and construction material. It is primarily used in facade and roofing products as a result of its durability and strength. 

It is made from materials such as Portland cement, wood pulp, silica, cellulosic fiber, fly ash, and water. Although, depending on the manufacturer, the composition will differ. 

The material offers exceptional overall value and is durable and less costly than synthetic stucco, brick, and other wood siding options. But, it is more expensive than vinyl and less or equally expensive than composite siding or hardboard.

Due to all such advantages, the growing fiber cement industry is likely to generate USD 27,743.8 million in revenue by the end of this decade.
