  Roofing underlayment demand will be boosted by such factors as:

• increasing roofing activity – particularly in the residential market – as new roofs are installed and older roofs are repaired or replaced
• adoption of more stringent building codes mandating the use of multiple layers of underlayment to provide additional protection against leaks
• rising installations of low-slope metal roofing, as underlayment is often installed with metal roofing to serve as a moisture barrier to protect roof decks from moisture damage

US demand for roofing accessories is projected to advance 3.6% annually to $6.5 billion in 2023, fueled by increases in roofing activity. According to analyst Matt Zielenski, “As you might expect, the leading driver of roofing accessories demand is roofing activity – as roofs are constructed or repaired, the use of related accessories – such as fasteners, underlayment, and roofing compounds – also increases.”
