World Roofing Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p091890/World-Roofing-Market.html

Global roofing demand to reach 10 billion square meters in 2012

Global roofing demand is forecast to expand 2.9 percent per annum through
2012 to 10 billion square meters, with a value of $65 billion. Demand
will be driven by accelerating growth in the two largest markets: the US
and China. The US market is expected to expand as housing construction
recovers from its current slump. Chinese demand will benefit from
advances in the residential market, which will be driven by rising per
capita income levels.

Emerging Asian markets to record fastest gains

The emerging economies of Asia, including China, will record the fastest
growth in demand for roofing materials through 2012. Rapid population
growth in countries such as India, the Philippines and Malaysia will
generate demand for housing, while strong economic expansion in China,
India and Malaysia spurs demand in the nonresidential market. As measured
by area, China is expected to become the largest single market for
roofing by 2012, surpassing the US. The Chinese market is forecast to
grow four percent per year over that period, reaching 2.7 billion square
meters. Demand for low-slope roofing materials (e.g., modified bitumen,
elastomeric and plastic membranes) will offer above average gains,
benefiting from strong demand in the nonresidential market.

More Details

Nonresidential construction to pace bituminous segment

In 2007, bituminous roofing was the most widely used roofing material in
the global market. This status stems from the popularity of bituminous
shingles in the US and Canada, and the widespread use of low-slope
bituminous roofing materials in China and Western Europe. Going forward,
the fastest growing markets for bituminous roofing are expected to be the
nonresidential construction markets of Asia and Eastern Europe.

Plastic, elastomeric roofing to be fastest growing overall

Plastic and elastomeric roofing materials are projected to post the
fastest gains through 2012, each from a relatively small base. Plastic
roofing (e.g., thermoplastic polyolefin, PVC, spray polyurethane foam)
will see its greatest gains the US market, where it is expected to
supplant built-up roofing. Demand for elastomeric roofing (e.g., ethylene
propylene diene monomer and chlorosulfonated polyethylene) will be driven
by gains in the Chinese and other Asian markets.
