Low-Slope Roofing - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 3873 | Published: 09/2020 | Pages: 220 | Individual User License: US$ 4,900

US demand for low-slope roofing is expected to decline on average to 73.37 million squares valued at $5.4 billion in 2024. This fall in demand will be caused by:

  • a drop in commercial construction activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic despite its subsequent modest rebound
  • an expected glut in commercial properties as a number of commercial business closed due to the pandemic – new structures will not be needed to be erected until existing sites are filled
  • concerns among building owners and managers in making large-scale capital investments in the aftermath of falling revenues and foot traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • the high level of severe weather-related reroofing activity between the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2018 – those buildings that underwent roof repair or replacement will generally not need additional work in the near future

TPO Membranes Will Be an Industry Bright Spot

While the overall low-slope roofing market is expected to decline, TPO roofing membranes will be an exception to the trend, posting solid advances in demand going forward. These products will be selected by many consumers because of their low cost, ease of installation, and favorable performance properties. Furthermore, because many of these membranes are white or light in color, they meet cool roofing criteria, which is important to many contractors, especially in the southern half of the US.

Environmentally Friendly Roofing Materials to Take Market Share

Increasing interest in lowering utility bills and reducing energy consumption will spur demand for low-slope roofing materials that are seen as being environmentally friendly. These materials include:

  • plastic single-ply, rubber, and metal roofing that meets cool roofing standards by deflecting solar radiation and minimizing heat transfer
  • vegetative roofing that reduces heat island effects in urban areas
  • materials that incorporate recycled content, such as metal roofing and some EPDM membranes
