US Single-Ply Roofing (Plastic & Rubber Membranes)

US Single-Ply Roofing

This market research study provides demand for single-ply roofing in the United States, segmenting the data by various categories such as product type, application (new constructions or reroofing projects), market sectors, slope (distinguishing between steep and low slopes), and methods of installation (including self-adhesive membranes and mechanically attached). Demand by market is provided for residential (single-family housing, multifamily housing, manufactured housing) and commercial (office/retail/lodging, institutional, industrial and transportation & other). It also examines regional differences in demand (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West). The study presents a comprehensive view, offering figures in both squares and dollars. It looks back at historical trends, with market size for 2013, 2018, and 2023, and projects future demand up to 2033, with annual data from 2020 to 2027. The report categorizes single-ply roofing products into two main types: plastic and rubber. The study also provides a discussion of factors affecting the entire US roofing industry, installation costs, and pricing, as well as analysis of leading industry participants (Berkshire Hathaway, Carlisle, Holcim, Sika, and Standard Industries), including market share.

This report is part of a series of studies available on the roofing industry. A broader perspective on competition among various roofing products can be found in our comprehensive report US Roofing.
