Global Roof Coatings Market Expected to Reach $1,680 Million by 2023 Roof coatings are used as a protective layer on the surface of buildings, which help to sustain the impact of rain, sunlight, and other physical damages. The growth of the global roof coatings market is driven by the growth in global economy. In addition, surge in construction activities, especially in the developing countries, and increase in population are expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, increase in awareness among people pertaining to the global warming and other concerns about the environment supplement the growth of the market. However, volatile raw material prices restrains the market growth.
The roof coatings market is segmented on the basis of material as elastomeric & plastic, bituminous, tiles, metals, and others. The metals segment is estimated to account for major share in the global roof coatings market in 2016. The elastomeric & plastic segment accounted for a significant share in 2016, and is expected to witness high growth rate during the forecast period. This is attributed to ability of elastomer & plastic to keep the objects cooler as compared to other materials.
The water-based coatings are anticipated to gain significant acceptance in the global roof coatings market during the forecast period, owing to increase in demand for green technologies across the globe. In addition, stringent government regulations pertaining to emission of volatile organic compounds is expected to boost the adoption of water-based coatings in the near future.
The commercial segment accounted for a significant share in 2016, and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in construction activities and increase in industrialization
worldwide. In addition, the development of green roofing technology is expected to drive its demand during the forecast period.
