Roofing

Laminated Asphalt Shingles Continue to Take Market Share

Asphalt shingles, which accounted for the largest share of roofing demand in 2014, will continue to the lead the market going forward, accounting for more than half of the 252 million square roofing market in 2019. Demand for asphalt shingles will be driven by a high level of consumer interest in laminated asphalt shingles. Also known as three-dimensional or architectural shingles, these roofing materials have a textured surface that can look like wood or slate, and are also more durable than traditional three-tab shingles. Homeowners looking to improve the exterior appearance of their homes can do so by installing laminated asphalt shingles.

Key Findings in the Roofing Study:

Roofing Tiles to See Increasing Use on Residences

Roofing tiles are expected to register the most rapid growth of all roofing products through 2019. Strong gains in housing starts in the South and West will drive gains. Roofing tiles are often installed on buildings in the South because of their ability to withstand the high winds and heavy rains caused by severe storms. Use of roofing tile in the West will be boosted by their favorable aesthetics and ability to be used as cool roofing materials.

Single-Ply Plastic and Metal Roofing Will Post Market Share Gains in Commercial Applications

In the commercial market, plastic and metal roofing will also see above-average demand gains through 2019. Plastic roofing will see increasing use on buildings with low-slope roofs because of its ease of installation and favorable performance properties, while metal roofing demand will be supported by its durability and ability to support solar panels used to generate electricity. Demand for both plastic and metal roofing will also be boosted by their ability to be used as cool roofing products that reflect sunlight and keep buildings cooler in the summer.

Reroofing Activity Remains Primary Driver of Demand

Reroofing activity accounted for the larger share of US roofing demand in 2014 and will remain so going forward. Reroofing activity will be supported by the efforts of home and business owners to engage in previously delayed improvement projects, such as the replacement of older or worn roofing. Storm activity -- such as hurricanes and tornadoes -- also supports reroofing demand in the US, as high winds and heavy rains can damage or destroy roofing, necessitating its replacement.

Study Coverage

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $16.8 billion roofing industry. It presents US historical demand data (2004, 2009, and 2014) and forecasts (2019 and 2024) by product (e.g., asphalt shingles, bituminous low-slope roofing, metal roofing, elastomeric roofing, plastic roofing, roofing tile, wood shingles and shake), market (residential, nonresidential), application (new, reroofing), and US region. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share, and profiles 40 industry players, including CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning.
