Introduction to Roofing Material
Roofing material are used in the formation of the outermost layer of a roof and prevents roof from impact of the natural elements. Depending upon the type of roof material and nature of supporting structure, there are different kinds of roofing materials ranging from natural products such as thatch or slate to commercially manufactured products such as tiles and polycarbonate. It is used in weatherproofing and is generally placed over a layer of water-resistant materials. It acts as a defense material against heat as the resins and color used in roofing material impact the capacity of the building to handle different temperature conditions. Selection of the right roofing material depends upon appearance, longevity, cost and structural parameters.
Market Size and Forecast
The roofing materials market is observing a significant growth on account of rapid urbanization, industrialization and infrastructural development. Rise in number of renovation and construction activities is also estimated to propel the growth of the market. Additionally, upgradation of industrial structures and increased demand for re-roofing is also expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, increased emphasis on the role of environment-friendly and energy efficient cool roofs rather than the conventional roofs is also projected to positively impact the growth of the market.

Growth Drivers
Rapid Growth in the Construction Activities Globally
There is an expectation of increase in construction activities worldwide due to significant demographic shift. The United Nations (UN) estimates that in the last three decades, around one billion people have been uplifted from the poverty. This has majorly fostered construction activities around the globe to provide the people with higher living standards. Moreover, UN also estimates that two third of world population will live in urban areas by 2050, compared to half of the urbanized population in present and one-third who were urbanized in 1960.
Regulations for Sustainable Roofing Material
The growing need for sustainable construction materials has also significantly contributed to the increased market growth and supportive government regulations. Harmful environmental impacts that arise from various construction waste streams have fostered the development of new environment-friendly roofing material regulations. This is projected to propel the growth of the market. Moreover, few eco-friendly roofs are also durable and cost-effective which is also estimated to lead to its adoption in the upcoming years.
Restraints
High Cost of Few Roofing Materials
High cost of few roofing materials is anticipated to hinder the market growth in terms of their utilization. Replacement of roof is one of the costlier upgrades in residential building which depends on the complexity of the roof design. This is anticipated to impede the growth of the market. Furthermore, lack of skillful manpower required for installation results in a faulty installation which increases the likelihood of problems and reduces the life longevity of a roof.
