The green roof market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.1 billion in 2024 to $2.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental awareness, regulatory support, urbanization trends, building codes and standards, energy efficiency concerns.

The green roof market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change mitigation, urban planning policies, rising energy costs, health and wellness trends, global sustainability goals. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, biodiversity and habitat creation, energy efficiency and insulation, collaboration in the industry, government incentives and regulations.

An increase in the construction of industrial, commercial, and residential buildings is anticipated to drive the growth of the green roof market in the coming years. This type of construction involves the design, development, and building of structures using various construction materials. The rise in construction activities can lead to increased heat generation and air pollution, both of which can be mitigated through the installation of green roofs. For example, in July 2024, the US Census Bureau, a government agency in the United States, reported that the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Consequently, the growing demand for construction and infrastructure development is expected to propel the green roof market.

The escalating demand for green buildings is set to propel the growth of the green roof market. Green building practices involve ecologically responsible and resource-efficient procedures, encompassing the entire lifecycle of structures. Green roofs play a pivotal role in creating green buildings, thus experiencing increased demand. An April 2022 report by CBRE India showcased a 37% increase in green-certified buildings, adding 78 million square feet of certified stock over five years. This uptick underscores the burgeoning preference for green buildings, consequently amplifying the demand for green roofs in the market.

Major companies in the green roof market are implementing innovative green roof projects to boost urban biodiversity, enhance air quality, reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable architecture. These initiatives aim to foster urban sustainability by integrating green roofs, which assist in stormwater management, improve air quality, and mitigate the heat island effect. For example, in March 2024, Applied Mulch & Soil Inc., a US-based company, completed an innovative green roof project in the Bronx, contributing to urban sustainability efforts. By providing insulation, this green roof can help lower energy costs associated with heating and cooling buildings. Additionally, the project addresses the urban heat island effect by cooling the surrounding area through evapotranspiration from the plants. The initiative may also involve local communities in maintenance and educational activities related to green infrastructure.

Major companies in the green roof market are promoting sustainable practices within the construction sector to minimize environmental impact, enhance energy efficiency, bolster urban resilience, and improve the overall quality of life in urban areas. They achieve this by integrating nature into building designs and creating green spaces that benefit both people and the environment. These partnerships enable specifiers to receive precise guidance for their specifications, ensuring they can take full advantage of the numerous environmental and health benefits that green roofs provide. For example, in February 2022, NBS (National Building Specification) Ltd, a UK-based platform, collaborated with the Green Roof Organisation (GRO) to advance sustainable specification practices within the construction industry. This partnership aims to enhance sustainable specifications by offering guidelines that align with the three pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, and social impacts throughout a building's lifecycle. The initiative also supports the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the importance of integrating sustainability into building design and construction.

In September 2022, SOPREMA USA, a leading US-based manufacturer specializing in commercial roofing, waterproofing, and civil engineering solutions, completed the acquisition of Furbish for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move is integral to SOPREMA's overarching strategy aimed at broadening its footprint within the sustainable solutions market. The acquisition of Furbish, a reputable US-based sustainable development company, marks a significant step in SOPREMA's initiative to bolster its SOPRANATURE portfolio, particularly in the domain of green roof solutions. Furbish excels in deploying and maintaining green roofs, living walls, stormwater management systems, and other innovative green technologies that enhance the performance of buildings.

Green roofs consist of vegetation atop a waterproofing layer, providing shade, absorbing atmospheric heat, and reducing air and roof surface temperatures.

Two primary types of green roofs are extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs serve as eco-friendly substitutes for conventional surface protections, featuring a shallow layer (around 20 mm) of substrate or soil. These roofs are distributed through both online and offline channels, finding application across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
