Demand for roofing in the US is forecast to reverse previous declines and grow 2.4 percent per year through 2014. The residential market will remain dominant and grow the fastest, led by new construction applications. Roofing tile will be the fastest growing product segment, while asphalt shingles remain dominant.

This study analyzes the 244 million square US roofing industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1999, 2004 and 2009, and forecast for 2014 and 2019 by roofing product (e.g., asphalt shingles, bituminous low-slope, metal, elastomeric, plastic, roofing tile, wood shingles and shakes), market (residential, nonresidential) and US geographic subregion.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 35 industry players, including GAFMC, CertainTeed and Owens Corning.
