US Low-Slope Roofing

Although they will continue to account for a small share of low-slope roofing demand, a variety of small volume roofing products will see increasing use because of growing interest in environmentally friendly roofing materials that reduce a structure’s energy consumption. Use of vegetative roofing, light-colored liquid-applied roofing coatings, and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) can minimize heat transfer and lower utility bills – important characteristics for contractors, designers, and property managers alike. In addition, demand for vegetative roofing will be bolstered by legislation and funding projects in major metropolitan areas that promote the use of this roofing to reduce heat island effects in urban cores.

Study Description

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $6 billion US low-slope market for roofing. It presents historical demand data (2011, 2016, and 2021) and forecasts (2026 and 2031) as well as annual data for the years 2018-2025. Unit demand and value demand data is shown for roofing by material (metal, bituminous, plastic, rubber), product type (standing seam, corrugated panel, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, thermoplastic polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene-propylene, neoprene, butyl, spray polyurethane foam, liquid-applied roofing, tensioned fabric, vegetative roofing) and market (new and reroofing demand in both residential and commercial buildings). The study also evaluates company market share and competitive analysis on industry competitors including GAF, Carlisle Construction Materials, Holcim(Elevate), and Johns Manville.
