Roofing Market : Value Chain, Dynamics, Regional Outlook and Key Players 2014 - 2020

Roofing materials are the external layers on the roof of a building. Sometimes, these are self-supporting. Generally, roofing materials are supported by underlying structures. Roofing materials provide shelter from natural elements. The outer layer of a roof exhibits greater variation depending upon the availability of the material, and the nature of the supporting structure. Roofing materials range from natural products, such as thatches and slates, to commercially available products such as tiles and plastic sheeting. Roofing materials may be placed on top of a secondary water-resistant material called underlayment. Demand for roofing materials is rising due to the increasing global construction activities, especially in the emerging economies in Asia Pacific and Latin America. The BRICS nations, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are some of the fastest growing markets for roofing materials. Re-roofing is another factor driving the growth of the roofing material market.
