The global demand for Roofing Underlayment Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD 45.45 BN by 2030 from USD 27.9 BN in 2022 with a CAGR of 6.29% under the study period 2023 - 2030.
Roofing underlayment, also known as roofing felt or roofing membrane, is a protective layer installed between the roof deck and the final roofing material (such as shingles, tiles, or metal panels). It is an essential component of roofing systems and serves multiple purposes. Its primary function is to provide extra protection against water infiltration. It acts as a waterproof barrier, preventing water from seeping through the roof deck and into the underlying structure. This is particularly important during heavy rain or snow or when the primary roofing material is damaged or removed.
Market Dynamics
The growth in construction and renovation activities, both in the residential and commercial sectors, contributes to the demand for roofing underlayment. As construction projects increase, the need for reliable and durable roofing systems, including underlayment, rises. The increasing awareness of energy efficiency in buildings has also boosted its demand. Underlayment with insulating properties helps improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, addressing environmental concerns and rising energy costs. The stringent building codes and regulations in many regions make the installation of roofing underlayment mandatory. Compliance with these regulations drives the demand for underlayment as it enhances building resilience, fire resistance, and protection against water infiltration. Climate variation and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and heavy rains, have emphasized the need for robust roofing systems. This layer provides additional protection against water penetration, wind-driven rain, and ice dams, making it crucial for safeguarding structures. Advancements in underlayment technology have led to the introduction of innovative materials with improved durability, waterproofing capabilities, tear resistance, and installation efficiency, further driving the market. Additionally, consumer demand for high-quality roofing systems and the growing emphasis on sustainability contribute to the demand for roofing underlayment. Homeowners and building owners seek long-lasting performance and eco-friendly solutions.
