Cool Roofs Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Cool Roofs Market Overview

Cool roofs market size is forecast to reach US$2.3 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2022-2027. Globally, the increasing need for cool roofs to absorb less heat and reflect more sunlight than standard roofs in the residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, is estimated to fuel the market over the forecast period. One of the major factors driving the demand for cool roofs is the growth of environmentally friendly, renewable, and sustainable roofing systems. The increasing use of asphalt shingles and coated roofs in steep slope roofs and low-slope roofs to provide durability, flexibility, corrosion resistance, and other benefits have driven the demand for cool roofs. Furthermore, the growing investments in public infrastructure projects will further create opportunities for the growth of the cool roofs market.

COVID – 19 Impact:

The Covid-19 pandemic situation negatively impacted the growth of the cool roofs industry in the year 2020. The import and export of construction materials were hampered due to the pandemic in various regions. Halt in several ongoing construction activities declined the demand for cool roof products which dipped the development of the market. For instance, according to the Journal published by the Institute of Physics Organization, the COVID-19 outbreak caused a US$ 5 billion loss in the Australian construction sector. Also, due to the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, the growth for the Italian construction industry was lowered, and the industry decreased by 0.7% in 2020, compared to the 1.5% original forecast. Almost 44% of the construction firms said that the coronavirus has harmed their work.

Cool Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Steep-sloped roofs held the largest share with 27% in the cool roofs market in 2021 and is expected to continue their dominance over the period 2022-2027. Steep slope roofs are commonly found in residential settings and have an inclined roofline. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tiles are the materials used for steep slope cool roofs. Owing to its different structures and materials, steep-sloped roofs require different cool roofing techniques. Coating existing shingles with a protective coating can prevent them from drying. Furthermore, because steep slope roofs typically account for 40% of a home's or building's exterior visual appearance, more aesthetically pleasing cooling techniques (such as asphalt shingles for shingling and tiles) are used to cool them. Demand for high-performance laminated asphalt shingles has risen dramatically in recent years, fueled by increased interest in roofing materials that can withstand high winds, impacts, and deterioration from exposure to the elements. As a result of the aforementioned factors, cool roof products are expected to increase at the fastest rate throughout the projection period.

Cool Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The residential sector dominated the cool roofs market in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during 2022-2027. The roof is an important building structure because it protects the building and adds to its aesthetic appeal. Increased government and institutional funding for the construction of housing infrastructure in emerging economies is driving the demand for cool roofs for residential use. For instance, By 2022, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is estimated to have built 11.22 million urban homes. 11.3 million houses have been approved since the policy began on March 31, 2021. To date, 4.8 million of these have been completed. Rising population and growing preference for single-family housing structures are the two other major factors driving the demand for residential buildings. Additionally, the increasing investments in green construction buildings are estimated to have a positive impact on the future demand for cool roofing products.

Cool Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia-Pacific region dominated the cool roofs market with a share of 41.3% in 2021. The market in the region is witnessing expansions with new construction and infrastructure investments in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the government allocated INR 54,581 crore (US$ 7.64 billion) to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in the Union Budget 2021. Also, The US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) announced in December 2020 that it would invest US$ 54 million in equity in India's National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) to help the country develop critical infrastructure projects. Additionally, companies here are offered lucrative opportunities to increase their production capacity and, in turn, to stimulate market growth. Thus, the rising growth of construction activities is expected to boost the demand for cool roofs in the region over the forecast period.

Surging Commercial Construction Activities

The market demand for cool roofing materials is expected to be driven by rising commercial construction activities across various regions. The global commercial roofing materials market is anticipated to grow due to the rising demand for roofing goods and the increasing need to refurbish and rebuild old buildings and monuments. Over the forecast period, an increase in new construction activities is also expected to boost the growth of the commercial roofing materials market. The W&W Group, for instance, has announced that it will invest in the Kornwestheim site in Germany, with plans to construct seven office buildings with courtyards by 2023. Also, commercial construction in India is rapidly expanding, at more than 9% per year, according to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, owing largely to strong service sector expansion. Furthermore, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the value of non-residential buildings (US$4,110.8) increased by 27.5% in March 2021, reaching its highest level in four months. As a result of the rapid expansion of several commercial construction activities, the market is estimated to grow over the forecast period.

Cool Roofs Market Challenges

Limitations in the Use of Cool Roof Products

While cool roofs are a great roofing alternative, they do have certain limitations. Cool roofs are only suitable for locations that receive a lot of sunlight, and not in places where the winters are lengthy and cold are not ideal. This is because the cool roofs may wind up chilling down too much during the cooler months, making the stay quite uncomfortable. Cool roofs are an excellent choice for locations that experience extreme heat. However, cool roofs are more likely to develop mould if the area has a high humidity level regularly. When compared to typical types of roofing, cool roofs are more vulnerable. Thus, these issues are impeding the overall market expansion.
