Adhesives & Sealants
There are many trends impacting the adhesives and sealants market, like the push towards more sustainability and bio-based formulas, new product requirements due to developments like prefabrication, and changes in material preferences (more wood-based construction). Furthermore, changes in distribution and increased digitalization are shaping the future of these segments. USP has assisted a wide variety of clients with both tailor-made research and off-the-shelf reports.
Building materials
Building materials are the foundation of every construction project. At USP, we have several decades of experience researching the markets for bricks, concrete, steel, wood products, and many more building materials. There are many trends that impact this otherwise traditional segment, for example, BIM, prefab, sustainability, labor shortages, and many more. We have conducted many tailor-made, dedicated research studies as well as supplied off-the-shelf reports to our customers in this segment.
Civil and infrastructure
Civil engineering and infrastructure are very broad fields. It encompasses anything from the road outside our front door to the dykes and canals that keep our feet dry to the electrical and waste water networks. USP has 30 years of experience conducting market research in these fields, ranging from market sizing projects to branding and new product development.
Doors and windows
Doors and windows are an essential part of every construction project. Given the ever-changing demand of customers, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends like sustainability, BIM, prefabrication, and many more. USP has over 30 years of experience researching the door and window markets for the leading brands, both by supplying off-the-shelf reports as well as dedicated or ad hoc market research.
Facade
The facade of the building is one of the most important and visual building elements. It does not only have a decisive impact on the esthetical value of the entire building, but it also plays a crucial role when it comes to the energy and insulative performance of the building. USP has over 30 years of experience in conducting tailor-made or dedicated market research in this segment, as well as many off-the-shelf reports focusing on the key trends impacting the facade market, like BIM, prefabrication, material usage, and sustainability.
Flooring
USP has been conducting market research projects in the flooring market for over 30 years. Focusing both on B2B and B2C target groups, USP can target all of the key decision-makers in the flooring business value chain. Whether it’s architects, flooring companies, interior designers, or consumers, USP can target them in any segment worldwide. Due to our 30 years of experience, USP can provide insights and advice in this segment.
Insulation
Insulation plays an integral role in the performance of the buildings we work and live in. Understanding this market can be quite challenging due to the complex and diffuse decision-making and key trends like sustainability and new material technologies. Furthermore, insulation will play a crucial role in our energy transition. USP has over 30 years of experience conducting market research in this segment, providing insights and advice to manufacturers, wholesalers, investors, and branch organizations.
Paint and coatings
Paint and coatings are the finishing touches for every construction project, but a lot has changed over the years. Just like paint and coatings are covering every construction project, USP has been covering major trends and changes in their market with research for several decades. Not only for paint, but also related products like tapes, brushes and rollers. We helped many manufacturers deal with and play into the demands that changed due to a greater focus on sustainability and environment friendliness.
Roofing
The roofing industry is yet another industry that is quite traditional with a complex decision making process, involving many stakeholders. For many decades USP has been investigating this market segment for the key manufacturers of roofing materials. The importance of the roof is ever increasing as the roof is used more and more for energy generation, sustainability impact, rain collection and so on, not just as a literal roof over our heads. USP can assist you in conducting world wide market research in this segment.
Security
Security products are about granting people safe, easy and comfortable access as much as they are aimed at keeping people out. The market consists of anything from automatic doors in hospitals to the mechanical lock of your front door, and from a single security camera to entire smart home security systems. USP has been researching all players in this market for decades, both B2B and B2B
Tools
USP has decades of experience in conducting both dedicated and multi-client research in the tools market worldwide.

Whether it’s power tools or hand tools, corded or battery powered, electrical or non-electrical or accessories and fixings, USP can assist you in getting the insights you need
Trade
Even Though direct supply and online players have impacted the construction trade business, it still remains very traditional. Many construction professionals prefer buying at the specialized wholesale, not just for the convenience and added value they bring, but also for the social aspects. In recent years, DIY stores also moved slowly but steadily into the professional trade segment. USP has been conducting market research and advising our clients operating in this segment for decades
Walls & ceilings
Wall and ceiling finishing products have the power to change a house into a home, or a bare building into a pleasant and productive office. These products are more than mere coverings, as they can provide better acoustics, (sound) insulation, fire safety, healthier indoor climates and pleasant design, depending on the demand of clients and end users. Meanwhile, this market is constantly evolving due to trends like sustainability, labor shortages and prefabrication. USP has been researching the walls and ceilings sector for over 30 years, making us an excellent partner to provide you with the knowledge, insights and advice that will be the foundation for your success.
