This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $162 million US green (vegetative) roofing industry. It presents historical demand data (2010, 2015, and 2020) and forecasts (2025 and 2030) by system type (extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive), market (new and retrofit), component (waterproof membranes, growing media, vegetation, geotextiles and drainage layer, insulation, and other components), and region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West) and subregion. Profiles of market leaders -including American Hydrotech, Firestone Building Products, Garland, Henry, LiveRoof, SOPREMO, XeroFlor North America, and ZinCo USA - are also provided.
Study Highlights include:
- Green roofing demand is forecast to rise 5.3% per year through 2025
- Advances will be driven by rebounding commercial building activity as the economic effects of the pandemic abate
- The impact of government green roofing mandates and incentive programs will also increase, boosting the number of new installations
- Green roofing systems are most frequently installed on apartment buildings, office towers, manufacturing facilities, and healthcare and education buildings
