Competition

Competitive Landscape for CRH plc
Demand is determined by construction rates for public infrastructure, as well as for housing and nonresidential buildings.

Large companies enjoy economies of scale in purchasing and the ability to invest in technologies that improve efficiency. Small manufacturers can compete through superior customer service and by serving small or rural markets. To read the full description, subscribe now.
