Report Summary The market for flat roofing has shown steady underlying growth since In 2015 there was a slight fall in overall market trends, partly due to a drop in the supply of bituminous membranes, with European bitumen refining capacity declining sharply in recent years. Since then there has been some improvement in demand although RBMs continue to lose share to single ply membranes in the commercial / specification market and EPDM membranes, and GRP in the domestic extensions and garage roofing sectors. The key sectors analysed are waterproofing products, insulation products and vapour control layers. Key demand drivers include increased levels of new build and re-roofing activity in key end-use markets notably; commercial offices, schools, retail distribution centres, infrastructure & utilities buildings, social housing re-roofing and private housing extensions & garages. Maintenance and repair work to private housing roofs is also an important area of activity while demand for green roofs has also begun to show steady growth. Growth in demand for single ply has largely been due to a surge in industrial and infrastructure buildings with large-spanning roofs developed in recent years, in particularly retail (and specifically online retail) distribution centres. Other factors behind growth include inherent properties of single ply relative to RBMs -including the wider range of colours, speed of installation and lower costs of insurance for roofing contractors. Using heat to install for RBMs has fire risk and contractors therefore are required to have insurance in case of fire damage. In the private housing sector, escalating housing costs have driven up demand for garage conversions and extensions, which in turn has underpinned demand for both EPDM membranes and GRP and other liquid roofing systems. Over the medium term to 2021, it forecast that demand for flat roofing will continue to grow at a steady pace, key drivers being the continuing growth in demand for online retail distribution centres; pressures on housing supply driving up the need for increasing flats construction; increasing office construction output and a likely growth in demand for green roofs.
