Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: Roofing Underlayment Market

 Roofing Underlayment Market, By Product

Global market was led by non-bitumen synthetic with revenue over USD 12 billion in 2016. Roofing underlayment market has observed a major inclination from traditional asphalt saturated felt to non-bitumen in the recent years. The trend is ascribed to enhanced features and performance of synthetic underlayments, for instance, non-bitumen synthetics are light weight and thinner than asphalt felts. Non-bitumen synthetic underlayments involve usage of polypropylene, polyester, fiberglass and polyethylene. They provide resistance against wrinkles, telegraphs and exhibit promising performance such as resistance to tears & leaks and installation ease. Synthetic underlayments also facilitate unique walking pattern and slip resistance over the roofs due to the proprietary formulation.
 

Asphalt-saturated felt roofing underlayment market will witness growth close to 4.5% by 2024. However, the segment will lose some share to non-bitumen synthetic roofing underlayments by 2024 due to penetration of synthetic products across residential and commercial applications. Preference to synthetic underlayment over asphalt felts might act as the inter-industrial growth restrain by 2024. Pricing has been a key driver for the deviation between asphalt felts and non-bitumen synthetics. Since non-bitumen synthetic underlayments are expensive, contractors with lower construction spending capacity prefer asphalt -saturated felts or rubberized asphalt roofing underlayments.
 

Roofing Underlayment Market, By Application

Roofing underlayment market was led by non-residential construction applications in 2016 and will exhibit gains over 5% by 2024. Increasing maintenance and renovation in non-residential construction segment due to increasing government spending to improve public infrastructure will complement business growth. For instance, government of Saudi Arabia and other counties in the Middle East are heavily investing in non-residential segment.
 

Roofing underlayment market size for residential construction will exhibit highest gains of 6% over the forecast timeframe. Strong growth will be chiefly attributed to increasing number of residential projects in Asia Pacific counties including India and China.
 

Roofing Underlayment Market, By Region

Asia Pacific led the overall roofing underlayment market size in 2016, in terms of both volume and value, on account of astonishing rates of industrialization, urbanization along with population rise.

Industry Viewpoint

 

Roofing underlayment is a waterproof barrier or water-resistant material which is installed between a roof deck and roof covering and is used in a steep-slope roof construction. It serves as an added layer of protection from severe weather conditions. Various advantages imparted by roofing underlayments include: weather barrier against water, snow, ice penetration through the flashings or roofing; roofing protection from any resins that bleed out of the sheathing, etc. Underlays serve as insulators and provide complementary protection against leaks. Prevailing types of roofing underlayments include: asphalt-saturated felt, non-bitumen synthetic underlayment and rubberized asphalt. The industry will have significant growth aspects in the future years with innovative roofing techniques from the industry participants.
