U.S. Competitive Materials Report

The Competitive Materials Report (CMR) takes a slightly different view of how PCA views market opportunities and risks. Rather than focusing on construction sub-segments and developing strategies for promotion around potential growth, the CMR attempts to assess future cement volume opportunities, or risks, posed by potential changes in the competitive environment among types of building material products. From this tack, PCA defines its material competitors first, and then examines the construction sub-segments as the competitive arena in which promotion takes place.

Paving Market Assessment for the State of New Mexico, June 2011

PCA develops cement volume estimates attached to New Mexico’s highway system based on transportation districts designated by New Mexico’s Department of Transportation (NMDOT). Once the size of the paving market is determined, PCA estimates the impact of an assumed 1% annual gain in market share attributed to successful promotion efforts. Using this approach, districts with the largest volume gains through the 2011-2015 horizon are identified. The report is divided into six sections. The first three sections establish a baseline from which the analysis assesses the ability of NMDOT to meet its paving needs. Sections four and five convert spending into paving opportunities for roadways and make a case for expected future market share gains.  The final section of the report examines cement volumes resulting from a 1% annual gain in market share.

Paving Market Assessment for the Commonwealth of Virginia, April 2011

PCA compares the expected cement volumes attached to highways, streets and local roads and parking lots through 2015. The report is divided into eight sections. The first three sections establish a baseline from which the analysis is based and compares the ability of Virginia to meet its paving needs. Sections four through 5 convert spending into paving opportunities for roadways and make a case for expected future market share gains. The final sections of the report compare cement volumes resulting from 1% annual gains in market share for both roadways and parking lots attributed to successful promotion efforts.
