Satellite US Construction Materials Dataset Package (Cemex, Vulcan, Martin Marietta)

This dataset package is focused on U.S construction materials and three construction companies: Cemex, Martin Marietta & Vulcan. In this package, SpaceKnow tracks manufacturing and processing facilities for construction material products all over the US. By tracking these facilities, we are able to give you near-real-time data on spending on these materials, which helps to predict residential and commercial real estate construction and spending in the US. The dataset includes 40 indices focused on asphalt, cement, concrete, and building materials in general. You can look forward to receiving country-level and regional data (activity in the North, East, West, and South of the country) and the aforementioned company data. SpaceKnow uses satellite (SAR) data to capture activity and building material manufacturing and processing facilities in the US. Data is updated daily, has an average lag of 4-6 days, and history back to 2017. The insights provide you with level and change data for refineries, storage, manufacturing, logistics, and employee parking-based locations. SpaceKnow offers 3 delivery options: CSV, API, and Insights Dashboard Available Indices Companies: Cemex (CX): Construction Materials (covers all manufacturing facilities of the company in the US), Concrete, Cement (refinery and storage) indices, and aggregates Martin Marietta (MLM): Construction Materials (covers all manufacturing facilities of the company in the US), Concrete, Cement (refinery and storage) indices, and aggregates Vulcan (VMC): Construction Materials (covers all manufacturing facilities of the company in the US), Concrete, Cement (refinery and storage) indices, and aggregates USA Indices: Aggregates USA Asphalt USA Cement USA Cement Refinery USA Cement Storage USA Concrete USA Construction Materials USA Construction Mining USA Construction Parking Lots USA Construction Materials Transfer Hub US Cement - Midwest, Northeast, South, West Cement Refinery - Midwest, Northeast, South, West Cement Storage - Midwest, Northeast, South, West Why get SpaceKnow's U.S Construction Materials Package?

Index Methodology Summary Continuous Feed Index (CFI) is a daily aggregation of the area of metallic objects in square meters. There are two types of CFI indices; CFI-R index gives the data in levels. It shows how many square meters are covered by metallic objects (for example employee cars at a facility). CFI-S index gives the change in data. It shows how many square meters have changed within the locations between two consecutive satellite images. How to interpret the data SpaceKnow indices can be compared with the related economic indicators or KPIs. If the economic indicator is in monthly terms, perform a 30-day rolling sum and pick the last day of the month to compare with the economic indicator. Each data point will reflect approximately the sum of the month. If the economic indicator is in quarterly terms, perform a 90-day rolling sum and pick the last day of the 90-day to compare with the economic indicator. Each data point will reflect approximately the sum of the quarter. Where the data comes from SpaceKnow brings you the data edge by applying machine learning and AI algorithms to synthetic aperture radar and optical satellite imagery. The company’s infrastructure searches and downloads new imagery every day, and the computations of the data take place within less than 24 hours. In contrast to traditional economic data, which are released in monthly and quarterly terms, SpaceKnow data is high-frequency and available daily. It is possible to observe the latest movements in the construction industry with just a 4-6 day lag, on average. The construction materials data help you to estimate the performance of the construction sector and the business activity of the selected companies. The foundation of delivering high-quality data is based on the success of defining each location to observe and extract the data. All locations are thoroughly researched and validated by an in-house team of annotators and data analysts. See below how our Construction Materials index performs against the US Non-residential construction spending benchmark Each individual location is precisely defined to avoid noise in the data, which may arise from traffic or changing vegetation due to seasonal reasons. SpaceKnow uses radar imagery and its own unique algorithms, so the indices do not lose their significance in bad weather conditions such as rain or heavy clouds. → Reach out to get free trial Delivery Options Data can be visualized and downloaded directly on the dashboard, and charts can be customized using our data explorer.
