Why it matters: - Steel roofing is on track for steady growth as housing demand, renovation spending and construction activity support long-term demand. - The market forecast points to where suppliers, installers and investors may see the biggest gains through 2032. - The report also shows which product formats, channels and regions are likely to gain share.

What happened: - Allied Market Research published a report on the global steel roofing market covering fastening type, distribution channel and end user. - The report says the market generated $10.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $17.5 billion by 2032. - The forecast implies a 4.2% compound annual growth rate from 2023 to 2032. - The report includes a sample PDF and a 212-page paid version.

The details: - Demand is being supported by more home construction, higher spending on renovations and steel roofing’s practical features. - Fluctuating raw material costs remain a drag on market growth. - Government efforts to expand affordable housing in developing economies are expected to create new opportunities. - The exposed fastened segment held more than half of market revenue in 2022 and is expected to keep the lead through 2032. - Exposed fastened roofs have visible fasteners, rugged durability, straightforward installation, low cost and lighter weight. - The concealed fastened segment is projected to grow fastest at 4.6% CAGR through 2032. - Concealed fastened roofs have less visible fasteners and a lower leakage risk than exposed fastened roofs. - The offline channel held nearly three-fifths of market revenue in 2022 and is expected to remain the largest channel. - Offline buyers can get immediate procurement for small projects and inspect quality before purchase. - The online channel is projected to grow at 4.6% CAGR through 2032, helped by easier purchasing and broader product choice. - The non-residential segment accounted for more than two-thirds of market revenue in 2022 and is expected to stay in front. - Non-residential use includes commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings. - Steel roofing is favored in that segment because it is strong, structurally durable and weather resistant. - The residential segment is projected to grow at 4.6% CAGR through 2032, helped by stronger appearance and better insulation. - Asia-Pacific held more than half of revenue in 2022 and is expected to remain the dominant region through 2032. - Asia-Pacific is also forecast to post the fastest regional CAGR at 4.5% through 2032. - The regional outlook is supported by rapid urbanization and population growth in India, South Korea, Japan and China. - China’s urban population is expected to rise to 72% in 2030 from 64% in 2021. - India’s industrial sector is expected to grow on urbanization, economic expansion, digitalization, IT growth and easier foreign direct investment rules. - The report lists Cornerstone Building Brands, Ideal Roofing, Lifetite Metal Product, Metal Sales Manufacturing, Linyi Jinhu Color Coating Aluminum Industry, Central States Mfg, ATAS International, Tata BlueScope Steel, Bansal Roofing Products and Stellar Buildtech among the leading players.

What’s next: - The concealed fastened, online and residential segments are positioned to outpace the broader market through 2032. - Asia-Pacific is likely to remain the main growth engine as urbanization and construction activity continue. - Market players are expected to keep using product launches, collaborations, expansion, joint ventures and agreements to defend or grow share. - More information is available in the company’s announcement and the purchase inquiry page.
