DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c36181) has announced the addition of "Drywall, Plaster, Acoustic & Insulation Contractors - Industry Profile" to their offering.

The drywall contractor industry in the US includes about 20,000 businesses

with combined annual revenue of $25 billion. Large companies (all with revenue under $500 million) include Performance Contracting, KHS&S, National Construction, and Acoustic Engineering, according to Engineering News-Record. Half of the companies in the industry are small with fewer than five employees. About 1,000 have annual revenue over $5 million, but the average company has less than $500,000 of annual revenue.

New construction accounts for 80 percent of total industry revenue, the rest is from renovations. Commercial construction accounts for 65 percent of construction revenues, especially construction of office buildings, commercial space, schools, apartments, hospitals, and hotels; single-family residential construction accounts for the rest.

Demand is driven heavily by new building construction. The profitability of individual companies depends on a steady volume of work, accurate job estimating, and good cost controls. Large companies have an advantage in bidding on large jobs. Companies usually specialize in either residential or commercial work. Residential contractors have competition from a large number of independent workers.

Commercial contractors install the metal framing that underlies walls in commercial buildings and the gypsum wallboard that covers it. They also install other types of walls (such as moveable partitions or stone veneer), acoustic and specialty ceilings, and various types of insulation and fireproofing.
