The steel roofing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, there has been a slight increase in the size of the steel roofing market. The market, which was worth $4.22 billion in 2024, is predicted to increase to $4.27 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.3%.
The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors such as urbanization trends, the expansion of the construction industry, a preference for sustainable solutions, government regulations, and cost-efficiency.
The steel roofing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for steel roofing is predicted to experience consistent growth in the upcoming years, reaching $4.82 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0%.
The increase during the projected timeframe can be credited to factors such as population increase, awareness about climate change, the trend toward renovation and remodeling, growth in disposable income, emphasis on energy conservation, and worldwide economic progress. Key trends within this forecast period include the adoption of intelligent roofing technologies, emphasis on solutions for resilient weather and extreme climates, the launch of pre-painted and pre-coated steel roofing products, growing interest in modular and prefabricated steel roofing systems, and partnerships for sustainable roofing solutions.
The rising investments in the construction of buildings intended for residential use is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the steel roofing market. An illustration of a residential building is any structure designed for living purposes, with optional provisions for cooking or dining spaces. Such constructions encompass single or multi-family homes, boarding, or lodging houses. Steel formulated roofing materials are employed in the erection of these residential structures to offer rooftop covering, thereby reducing the cost of construction. For example, the UK-based Office for National Statistics indicated a significant increase in general government-infrastructure investment in July 2024. The total investment surged by 9.6% in 2022, peaking at approximately $32.8 billion (£26.0 billion). This investment consisted of around $24.4 billion (£19.3 billion) from the central government and about $8.5 billion (£6.7 billion) from the local government. The investment in transport projects made up roughly $28.5 billion (£22.5 billion), equating to 74.2% of overall expenditure, exhibiting a 1.1 percentage point growth as compared to the prior year. Consequently, the escalating investments dedicated to residential construction ventures are spurring the development of the steel roofing market.
