The roofing underlayment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $28.01 billion in 2024 to $29.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to residential and commercial construction, roofing material advancements, weatherproofing and moisture control, building codes and regulations, roof repair and maintenance, eco-friendly and sustainable underlayment materials.
The roofing underlayment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to energy-efficient roofing systems, impact-resistant underlayment materials, smart roofing underlayment solutions, adoption of green and cool roofing, retrofitting and renovation projects, aging building infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include self-adhesive and peel-and-stick underlayment, synthetic and high-performance underlayment materials, solar-integrated roofing underlayment, digital monitoring and remote diagnostics, underlayment with fire-resistant properties, drone-assisted roof inspections.
The anticipated growth in the construction of both residential and non-residential buildings is expected to drive the expansion of the roofing underlayment market. Construction involves the assembly and erection of structures for residential or business purposes. Roofing underlayments, crucial in all types of buildings, serve as a protective barrier between framing materials and the top layer of shingles, guarding against water leaks. Notably, the American Institute of Architects forecasts a 5.4% increase in non-residential building construction in 2022, projected to reach 6.1% by 2023. The U.S. Census Bureau reports a rise in monthly residential construction activities in 2022, indicating that the growth in the construction industry is fueling the roofing underlayment market.
The increase in the construction of both residential and non-residential buildings is projected to drive the growth of the roofing underlayment market in the future. Construction involves the assembly and erection of structures that provide shelter for residential or commercial purposes. Roofing underlayments are utilized in all residential and commercial buildings, serving as a barrier between the framing materials and the top layer of shingles in roof construction to help prevent water leaks. For example, according to the American Institute of Architects, a U.S.-based professional membership organization for architects, non-residential building construction is expected to rise by 5.4% in 2022, reaching an estimated 6.1% by 2023. Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau, a government agency, reported that monthly residential construction activities increased in 2022. Thus, the growth of the construction industry is fueling the expansion of the roofing underlayment market.
The deterioration of aging infrastructure is projected to drive the growth of the roofing underlayment market in the future. Aging infrastructure refers to the decline or wear of various physical assets, such as buildings, roads, bridges, pipelines, electrical grids, water supply systems, and other essential structures and facilities, due to the effects of time and extended use. Roofing underlayment plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges associated with aging infrastructure. It helps protect roofs, improves energy efficiency, and ensures the longevity and safety of older buildings and structures. According to the White House, the U.S. has over 45,000 bridges and 1 in 5 miles of roads that are in poor condition. Thus, the issue of aging infrastructure is driving the growth of the roofing underlayment market moving forward.
Leading companies in the roofing underlayment market are concentrating on introducing innovative solutions to gain a competitive edge. Innovative roofing underlayment solutions involve advanced products and technologies to enhance performance, durability, and functionality.
