US roofing demand will rise 5.7 percent annually through 2015. New homes will be the fastest growing market, while residential reroofing remains the largest segment. Roofing tile, asphalt shingles and wood shingles and shakes will lead gains. Environmentally friendly roofing products will be supported by both consumer demand and government mandates.

This study analyzes the 200 million square US roofing industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by product (e.g., asphalt shingles, bituminous low-slope roofing, metal roofing, elastomeric roofing, plastic roofing, roofing tile, wood shingles and shakes), market (residential, nonresidential) and region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 34 industry players, including GAFMC, CertainTeed and Owens Corning.
