The rising adoption of green roofing technologies is anticipated to open up new avenues for the Roofing Materials Market

Roofing materials refers to various construction materials that are used in roofing systems for buildings and structures. Some common roofing materials include asphalt shingles, cement tiles, metal roofing, clay roof tiles, single-ply roofing membranes, and rolled roofing. Roofing materials are required to make roofs weatherproof and durable to protect the building structure from sun, rain, snow and other external elements. Asphalt shingles are the most commonly used roofing material in residential construction in developed economies owing to their affordability and ease of installation.

The Roofing Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 170.03 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:
The growth of the roofing materials market is driven by rising construction activities across residential and non-residential sectors globally. According to the Global Construction 2030 report, the global construction output is projected to grow by 85% to US$ 15.5 trillion by 2030. Renovation and repair of aging infrastructure is another key driver. Furthermore, rising adoption of green roofing technologies that improves energy efficiency of buildings through solar reflectance, thermal emittance, and vegetation is expected to present new opportunities over the forecast period. Some key benefits of green roofs include reduced heat absorption, improved air quality, longer roof lifespan, sound insulation, and stormwater runoff management.
Segment Analysis
