Liquid Roofing Market 2018 | Technology, Applications, Growth and Region Forecast 2023

Synopsis

Liquid Roofing is the process of applying high-technology waterproof coating systems to roof substrates. Liquid Roofing is gaining importance as it is economical, sustainable, durable, flexible, green, and easy to maintain.
Rapid industrialization around the world is a major driver for the liquid roofing market due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings with HVAC systems and green roofs, among other features. HVAC systems and green roofs can be an effective way to manage resources, as they are environmentally friendly as well as economical. The development of eco-cities across the globe is also likely to fuel the demand for Liquid Roofing during the forecast period. A rise in living standards, coupled with high disposable incomes, enables large-scale investments in the construction of residential buildings. Liquid roofing is known for its low volatile organic components (VOC) content and is claimed to consume less energy, thereby making buildings more energy-efficient and less reliable on air-conditioning or heating which contribute to air pollution.

Favorable government regulations such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the REACH regulations by the EU are expected to further augment market growth. The development of emerging nations such as China, India, and the ASEAN countries in Asia-Pacific is expected to positively impact market growth during the forecast period. However, the high volatility of raw material prices may pose a challenge to players in the market. According to the Asian Development Bank, investments worth USD 26 trillion are required in infrastructure from 2016 to 2030 to maintain the growth momentum in the region.

Some of the recent development trends observed in the market include investments in R&D and product developments. For instance, in 2014, Sika AG invested USD 172 million in a Liquid Roofing membrane research and development center in the UK. Furthermore, in January 2018, the company developed a virtually odorless, solvent-free wet-on-wet system with rapid cure, which can be used in new build and refurbishment projects.
