Roofing to 2012 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

US roofing demand will reach 280 million squares in 2012 based on a recovery in home building and an increase in nonresidential construction. Reroofing will remain the largest market while new roofing applications outpace them. Roofing tile and plastic roofing will see the fastest gains by type, but asphalt shingles will remain dominant.

This study analyzes the $13.7 billion US roofing industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1997, 2002 and 2007, and forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by roofing type (e.g., asphalt shingles, bituminous low-slope, metal, elastomeric, tile, plastic, wood shingles and shakes); market (e.g., residential, nonresidential); and geographic region.

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