Despite the recent comments about recovery and "green shoots" the evidence would still indicate that we have some distance to travel before the building material industry returns to the levels of volumes enjoyed in the period circa 2004-2007 pre the market crash.Strong performance in the RMI  and Infrastructure markets will help offset weak demand in the other sectors.
