US Green (Vegetative) Roofing

US Green (Vegetative) Roofing

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $400 million US green (vegetative) roofing industry. It presents historical demand data (2013, 2018, and 2023) and forecasts (2028 and 2033) with annual data for 2020-2027. Demand is provided by system type (extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive), market (new and retrofit), component (waterproof membranes, growing media, vegetation, geotextiles and drainage layer, insulation, and other components), and region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West) and subregion. Profiles of market leaders –including American Hydrotech, Holcim, Garland, Henry, LiveRoof, SOPREMO, XeroFlor North America, and Other Industry Participants – are also provided.
