Advancement in Solar Roofing Technology to Create Lucrative Growth Avenues

The roofing underlying materials market is mainly driven by the sustained and substantial demand for roofing materials from the construction industry in various regions, particularly in emerging markets. The rapidly expanding populations in regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and several countries of MEA has led to the construction of private and public infrastructures across all sectors. The rapid pace of urbanization has spurred the construction of residential buildings, which is fuelling the roofing underlying materials market.

However, the rising cost associated with making bituminous roofing, mainly attributed to volatility in cost of asphalt, is expected to hinder the roofing underlying materials market to an extent. The constant availability of good quality asphalt is a key concern for manufacturers of bituminous roofing underlying materials. The availability of cheap substitutes will stimulate many manufacturers in the building and construction industry in developing markets, negatively impacting the overall market.

Nevertheless, the demand for advanced roofing construction materials that are energy efficient has propelled the demand for eco-friendly materials, thereby boosting the market. Furthermore, recent advancements in solar roofing technology have opened up exciting opportunities for market players. In addition, the growing popularity of non-bitumen synthetic roofing is expected to open up lucrative growth avenues for market players across various regions.
