The roofing market is expanding due to non-residential demand, with a shift towards eco-friendly materials and regional preferences influencing growth.
Unprecedented expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial sectors continues to drive demand for roofing worldwide. Although residential roofing applications have been predominant in pushing sales of roofing systems and materials globally, it is the non-residential sector, including office spaces, and commercial buildings, that is being projected as the prominent booster to the growth of the roofing market in the foreseeable future. Rampant progress of the civil infrastructural developments, public transit, healthcare infrastructure, and institutional spaces account for massive demand growth. This is even expected to be the key factor responsible for the non-residential sector outperforming the residential sector in terms of roofing system installations.

Longevity, and Versatility of Applications Dictate Roofing Material Preferences
The global roofing installation surpassed the volume of 11 billion sqm in 2018 owing to a broad range of roofing applications. While clay, metal, asphalt shingles, fibre cement, concrete tiles, slate, rubber, and plastic have conventionally been the popular roofing materials, a new upcoming study of Fairfield Market Research suggests that concrete tiles, and clay are witnessing greater preference over other roofing material counterparts on the back of their superior aesthetics, and endurance in addition to the benefit that they typically require low maintenance costs. Asphalt shingles also have been extensively used by the building and construction industry owing to their versatility of application, cost competitiveness, and elegant aesthetics. With a number of new construction projects, as well as building or residential renovation activities in progress, asphalt shingles, metals, and tiles will see continued adoption in the global roofing market, states the report.
Opportunities Abound in Developing Economies
The demand patterns in the roofing market vary from region to region, and at a domestic level as well. Community preferences, climatic conditions, material and aesthetic preferences, range of affordability, and popular methods of construction are some of the key factors governing the choice of roofing materials in any domestic, or regional market. North America, particularly the US, continues to show preference for asphalt shingles, research indicates that dimensional asphalt shingles are gaining strong ground in the region. On the other hand, Asia Pacific, the global leader in roofing installations, prefers metal roofing over other materials. Shifting aesthetic tastes of the evolving regional population is giving rise to innovative material launches in the market. The Middle Eastern and African economies also present lucrative opportunities for companies in the roofing market, as per the report findings so far.
