Roofing Market Size and Statistics

The roofing market covers the manufacture and sale of roof coverings and related materials, and in broader definitions the installation services that go with them. Its size is estimated mainly by private market research firms, whose figures vary according to how they define the market, which products and regions they include, and the year of the estimate.

Global market estimate

Grand View Research, in a report published in June 2026, estimated the global roofing materials market at USD 138.7 billion in 2025 and projected it to reach USD 191.5 billion by 2033, a compound annual growth rate of 4.2 percent from 2026 to 2033. The same report found:

• Largest product segment: concrete and clay tiles, with 30.5 percent of revenue in 2025.
• Largest region: Asia Pacific, with 33.5 percent of revenue in 2025.

Why estimates differ

Other research firms publish different totals because they may:

• include or exclude installation labour;
• include waterproofing, insulation, gutters or skylights;
• value products at factory, wholesale or retail prices;
• use different base years and currency conversions.

Figures should therefore be compared only when definitions and years match.

Market drivers

• Replacement demand. In mature markets, reroofing of existing buildings is a large share of demand because roofs wear out decades before the buildings they cover.
• New construction, especially in growing urban regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
• Weather events, which create surges of repair and replacement work after hail, hurricanes and storms.
• Energy and climate policy, including cool roof requirements, green roof laws and rooftop solar.

Regional patterns

Material preferences vary strongly by region. Asphalt shingles are among the most widely used roof covers in North America, while clay and concrete tile have long traditions across Europe and Asia; clay tiles cover about 90 percent of houses in Java, Indonesia, for example. Such regional patterns help explain why tile, rather than shingles, is the largest segment in global estimates.

Workforce

In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted about 166,900 roofer jobs in 2025, with employment projected to grow 5 percent from 2025 to 2035.
