- Furthermore, Mexico's residential real estate industry is booming due to the country's growing population. Since 2016, it has contributed to the GDP of the country by about 6%. As a result, the demand for wood coatings, which are used to construct doors, windows, and other items, rises along with the growth of the residential real estate sector.
