An increase in investments in residential building construction is expected to drive the growth of the steel roofing market. Residential buildings are structures designed for accommodation, used for typical living purposes, which may or may not include cooking or dining facilities. This category encompasses various types of dwellings, including single-family homes, lodging, and rooming houses. Steel roofing materials are utilized in these constructions to cover rooftops, providing a cost-effective solution. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based statistical authority, reported that total government investment in infrastructure rose by 9.6% in 2022, reaching £26 billion (approximately $32.8 billion). This included £19.3 billion (around $24.4 billion) from central government and £6.7 billion (about $8.5 billion) from local government. Notably, transport projects accounted for £22.5 billion (roughly $28.5 billion), representing 74.2% of the total investment, which marked a 1.1 percentage point increase from the previous year. Thus, the rise in investments for residential building construction is propelling the growth of the steel roofing market.

Increasing renovation activities are expected to drive the growth of the steel roofing market in the future. Renovation involves improving or modifying a structure to enhance its functionality, aesthetics, or overall condition. Steel roofing is commonly used in renovation projects due to its durability and weather-resistant qualities, providing a reliable and contemporary solution for upgrading building structures. For example, a survey conducted by the Home Improvement Research Institute in May 2023 found that 62% of homeowners in the U.S. undertook a home improvement project in the past year. On average, these homeowners spent approximately $1,000 on renovations, repairs, and upgrades. Notably, there has been a significant trend toward smaller-scale projects, with 52% of homeowners investing under $500, indicating a collective effort to enhance their living spaces while staying within budget. Therefore, the increase in renovation activities is propelling the growth of the steel roofing market.

Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the steel roofing market, with major companies actively introducing new offerings. For example, in September 2024, PPG, a U.S.-based coatings manufacturer, launched the PPG STEELGUARD 951 epoxy intumescent fire protection coating. This innovative product provides up to four hours of fire resistance for manufacturing facilities, expanding into a thick foam when exposed to heat. It allows for a dry-film thickness of up to 3,500 microns in a single application and comes with a lifetime warranty on coating integrity, highlighting PPG's commitment to quality and durability.
