by The roofing materials market has witnessed substantial growth in recent times, mainly attributable to the rising number of construction activities across both commercial and residential sectors globally. Roofing materials such as asphalt shingles, clay tiles, slate tiles, concrete tiles, metal sheets, and membranes are used widely in building projects to provide a waterproof barrier and protect the building structure from external elements. Asphalt shingles account for a majority market share owing to their fire resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The rising popularity of modern architectural styles has augmented the adoption of specialty roof tiles made from clay, concrete, and metal.
The global Roofing Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 170.03 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends gaining traction in the roofing materials market is the rising demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products. With growing environmental consciousness, construction material manufacturers are focusing on developing green roofing solutions made from recycled content or plant-based materials. For instance, clay and concrete roof tiles are gaining popularity as they are recyclable at the end of the roof’s lifetime. Similarly, cool roofs coated with special paints help reduce the urban heat-island effect and lower air conditioning costs. The introduction of innovative green technologies in manufacturing processes is expected to further drive the adoption of sustainable roofing materials over the forecast period.
