Market Dynamics

What are the Factors Propelling Global Sales of Commercial Roofing Membrane?

“Sustainable Building Regulations and Green Certifications”

Building energy codes and sustainability regulations in developed and developing countries accelerate the demand for high-performance roofing membranes. The criteria for LEED certification along with similar green building standard requirements emphasize the need for more energy-efficient roofing solutions.

Manufacturers respond to such criteria through membrane development possessing a high SRI and enhanced thermal performance. Integration of renewable energy systems with roofing membranes, including photovoltaic-ready membranes, is further pushing the market ahead as commercial buildings seek to reach net-zero energy goals.

“Urbanization and Commercial Infrastructure Development”

The rapid urbanization and rise of commercial sectors in developing economies have led to huge demand for membranes. Shopping centers, logistics facilities, and commercial complexes need waterproofing solutions. Modern architectural trends concerning large roof spans and complex designs require advanced membrane systems.

The increasing growth of e-commerce and subsequent warehouses continue to skyrocket demand, especially for thermoplastic membranes that provide superior chemical resistance and durability for industrial applications.

What are the Challenges Encountered by Manufacturers of Commercial Roofing Membrane?

“Raw Material Price Volatility and Supply Chain Disruptions”

Fluctuating raw material prices and uncertainties within the supply chain pose strong challenges in the commercial roofing membrane industry. Cyclic volatility in oil prices sensitizes petroleum-based material used in membrane production.

Recent global events have significantly disrupted traditional supply chains with extended lead times and increased production costs. Manufacturers are indeed facing a challenge in keeping profit margins while producing quality products consistent with the benchmark. The industry must make investments in alternative materials and strategies for supply chain diversification.
