The increasing demand for solar panels is projected to drive the growth of the residential low-slope roofing market. Solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic technology, are becoming more sought after due to the need for renewable energy sources and supportive government regulations. Residential low-slope roofs offer a flat surface that allows for optimal positioning and angling of solar panels to capture maximum sunlight. These roofs are also safer and easier for workers to access, making the installation of solar panels more efficient and less hazardous. For example, in August 2023, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that solar photovoltaic panel shipments in the United States increased by 10% in 2022 compared to the previous year, reaching a record 31.7 million kilowatt peak (kWp). Consequently, the rising demand for solar panels is driving growth in the residential low-slope roofing market.

Leading providers in the residential low-slope roofing market are developing polypropylene sheet roofing to improve durability, moisture resistance, and ease of installation. Polypropylene sheet roofing is a lightweight, thermoplastic material that offers strong protection against water, air, and weather damage while being simple to handle and install on low-slope and flat roofs. For instance, in August 2025, Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a US-based manufacturer of bitumen roofing and waterproofing membranes, launched PolyVap SA S. The product serves as both an air barrier and a vapor barrier, using a high-strength polypropylene sheet with an aggressive acrylic-based adhesive on the bottom. It can be used as a temporary roofing system for up to 180 days before the final roof assembly. PolyVap SA S is fully impermeable to air, moisture, and water, and its self-adhesive bond provides strong wind uplift resistance. This innovation demonstrates the market’s focus on developing roofing solutions that are durable, weather-resistant, and easy to install, meeting the growing demand for efficient and long-lasting low-slope residential roofing systems.

In February 2023, Holcim, a Switzerland-based building materials company, acquired Duro-Last for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Holcim’s position in the roofing market by incorporating new technologies and energy-efficient solutions into its roofing systems. The deal aligns with Holcim’s green growth strategy, focusing on sustainability and circularity. Duro-Last, based in the US, specializes in custom-fabricated thermoplastic roofing systems for commercial, industrial, and residential low-slope applications.

Residential low slope roofing refers to roofing systems designed for homes where the roof has a gentle pitch or slope, typically less than 3,12 (3 inches of vertical rise for every 12 inches of horizontal run). This slight slope is intended to direct water toward drains or gutters, preventing water pooling that could cause leaks or structural damage. In addition to their functional benefits, these roofs can also serve as usable outdoor spaces, accommodating gardens, decks, or solar panel installations, particularly in modern or urban settings.

The main types of roofing in the residential low slope market include ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) roofing, thermoplastic olefin (TPO) roofing, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) roofing, modified bitumen roofing, and others. EPDM roofing is a durable synthetic rubber membrane commonly used in low-slope buildings. The roofing materials utilized in these systems include bituminous roofing, metal roofing, tile roofing, and others, with applications spanning commercial, residential, and industrial sectors.North America was the largest region in the residential low slope roofing market in 2025.
