US demand for roofing is forecast to rise 5.7 percent per year to 263 million squares in 2015, valued at $24.4 billion. This pace represents a turnaround from the 6.1 percent annual declines experienced between 2005 and 2010. Advances will be driven by the rebound in building construction expenditures from their depressed 2010 base.

Report Summary
US demand to rise 5.7% annually through 2015
US demand for roofing is forecast to rise 5.7 percent per year to 263 million squares in
2015, valued at $24.4 billion. This pace represents a turnaround from the 6.1 percent
annual declines experienced between 2005 and 2010. Advances will be driven by the
rebound in building construction expenditures from their depressed 2010 base.
New homes to be fastest growing market
The new residential market will see annual demand gains of over 20 percent through 2015
as housing starts rise from their low 2010 levels. However, the residential reroofing market
will continue to account for the largest share of roofing market demand in 2015. Those
homeowners that delayed or canceled renovation projects -- such as roof replacement --
during the 2007-2009 recession will go forward with their plans. Roofing demand in the
nonresidential market will be spurred by the new construction segment, which is expected
to see 7.5 percent annual gains through 2015. Rebounding office and commercial and
institutional construction spending will drive advances. Increasing demand for such
structures as educational and health care facilities, retail sites and office buildings will
promote demand for roofing materials.

Environmentally friendly products to support growth
In both the residential and nonresidential markets, roofing demand will be supported by
consumer interest in environmentally friendly products. Such items as light-colored roofing
tiles and membranes, metal roofs, roofing made from recycled materials, vegetative roofs
and integrated photovoltaic roofing will see increasing use. Consumers will install these
roofing materials to reduce energy costs and minimize urban heat-island effects. Demand
will also be supported by the efforts of state and local governments to pass laws mandating
the use of these products in new and renovation construction.
Laminated asphalt shingles to gain market share
Asphalt shingles hold a dominant position in the residential market and thus are the most
popular roofing material. Demand for asphalt shingles will rise nearly seven percent per
year through 2015 as residential building construction expenditures rebound. Laminated
asphalt shingles, which accounted for 40 percent of shingle demand in 2000, are projected
to account for 85 percent of demand in 2015. Demand for laminated shingles will be spurred
by their superior aesthetic and performance qualities. In the long term, the increasing use
of laminated shingles will constrain replacement demand, as these products can have
lifespans more than twice that of conventional asphalt shingles.

2. Roofing tiles to see fastest gains among other products
Among other products, roofing tiles will see the most rapid demand advances through 2015.
Gains will be driven by increasing residential building construction spending in the West and
South, where roofing tiles are most often installed. Growth will also be promoted by rising
interest in the use of roofing tile because of its favorable aesthetics. Lightcolored tiles can
also serve as cool roofing materials, helping homeowners reduce energy use.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study, Roofing, presents historical demand data for the years
2000, 2005 and 2010, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by product (e.g., asphalt shingles,
bituminous low-slope, metal, elastomeric, plastic, roofing tile, wood shingles and shakes),
market (residential, nonresidential) and US region. The study also considers market
environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and
profiles industry players.
