Standing Seam Roofing Market

Standing Seam Roofing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2019 - 2027

Standing seam roofing is a durable, versatile, and easy-to-maintain building material. Growth in the construction industry in developing economies, led by rapid urbanization and rise in the demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly roofing systems, is driving the global standing seam roofing market.
Standing seam roofing is a style of roof that has panels that run vertically up the length of the roof, and seams that connect one panel to another. Their installation differs from traditional roofs as it allows them to create a snug and solid covering which is able to move under thermal expansion.
Demand for standing seam roofs is largely driven by the rise in output of the construction industry. Urbanization initiatives and emigration have gained momentum in several developing economies, thereby driving the construction industry. This, in turn, acts as a primary factor boosting the standing seam roofing market in these countries.

Rise in demand for green construction materials and materials with low lifecycle cost, and growth of the construction industry are key factors boosting the global standing seam roofing market. Standing seam roofing is gaining popularity due to its superior weather-tight qualities, modern look, and durability.
Increase in consumption of recyclable roofing materials and lightweight, flexible materials is also fueling the global standing seam roofing market. Standing seam roofs play a major role in attaining sustainable roofing, as they are made from a high percentage of recycled materials. These roofs are durable and long-lasting building materials that can provide significant energy savings to the building envelope. They can also improve energy efficiency of buildings. Growth of residential and commercial sectors in developing economies is another factor estimated to augment the standing seam roofing market during the forecast period.
Standing seams are employed in all types of metal roofing systems. They offers several advantages over other types of metal roofing. Standing seams are long lasting and offer reliable and maintenance-free protection.

The commercial roofing segment accounted for major share of the standing seam roofing market in 2018, owing to its durability and flexibility
Standing seam roofing materials are widely consumed in the renovation type of construction. Favorable properties of standing seam roofing materials include noise reduction, improved quality of air, and reduction in cost incurred for air conditioning. These are expected to drive the global standing seam roofing market during the forecast period.
Rise in number of commercial projects across the globe, such as hotels, hospitals and schools, is expected to accelerate the growth of the global standing seam roofing market during the forecast period

Adoption of solar power and energy codes in roofing systems is influencing the metal roofing market. Standing seam roofs are two to three times costlier than conventional roofing systems. This is hampering the market. However, advantages of metal roofs such as long-term durability, eco-friendliness, and high energy efficiency are likely to boost the demand for metal roofs in the construction industry.
High investment cost associated with the installation of standing seam roofing is expected to restrain the standing seam roofing market during the forecast period.

The standing seam roofing market in Asia Pacific has been expanding since 2018 due to rapid urbanization, growth in population, and increase in industrialization in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to witness strong growth in the standing seam roofing market, owing to the infrastructure development in commercial and industrial sectors, particularly in emerging economies, such as India and China. Furthermore, migration of population from rural to urban areas in these economies is projected to propel the demand for standing seams roofs. This, in turn, is expected to augment the standing seam roofing market during the forecast period.
The standing seam roofing market in North America is expanding at a moderate pace, due to increase in re-roofing activities in developed economies such as the U.S. and favorable housing loan plans for expatriates
Middle East & Africa is expected to be a prominent region of the global metal roofing market during the forecast period, due to growth of the construction sector and increase in government expenditure on commercial and industrial sectors in the region. This is also projected to create significant opportunities for standing seam roofing manufacturers in the near future, primarily in the industrial sector in GCC.
The standing seam roofing market in Europe is anticipated to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast period.
