Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Cool roofing is a green construction technique. Cool roofs are built to absorb less heat and reflect more light than traditional roofs. Cool roofing systems are used to address overheating issues in buildings. Rooftops can cause buildings to overheat. Cool roofs absorb less heat than standard roofs by utilizing materials that reflect sunlight. A cool roof can help save money on energy bills by reducing the need for air conditioning and improving indoor comfort in non-air-conditioned spaces.

Cool Roof Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Growth in Popularity of Green Building Materials

Cool roofs use sunlight to absorb less heat than standard roofs. The advantages and benefits of cool roof systems can also benefit the environment, particularly when many buildings in a neighborhood have them. Cool roofs can help mitigate the urban heat island effect by lowering local air temperatures. By reducing cooling energy use in buildings, cool roofs can help reduce peak electricity demand, which can help prevent power outages and reduce power plant emissions, such as carbon dioxide, Sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxides, and mercury. Heat island effects can be avoided with the use of cool roofing systems. As a result, cool roof systems have a lot of potential for improving the energy efficiency of buildings and communities.

• Increased Usage within Agricultural Sector

Cool roofs are essential in the agricultural sector because they trap sunlight while releasing no heat. This helps crops retain their nutritional value. As a result, cool roofing systems are gradually replacing traditional roofing systems within the sector. This factors is projected to increase the cool roof market growth rate over the forecast period.

• Urbanization, Population and Living Standards

According to United Nations (UN) data, more than 54% of the global population lives in cities, creating job opportunities and raising individual income levels. Building construction in urban and rural areas increases as the number of nuclear families grows. A cool roof system can help a building and its occupants save money on energy by reducing air conditioning needs, improving indoor comfort in non-air-conditioned areas, and extending roof service life. As a result, the global cool roof market is expected to grow as a result of the aforementioned factors of growing population, urbanization, and rising consumer standards of living.

The rising importance of energy conservation and the global implementation of environmental regulations related to building design and architecture are expected to be the primary drivers of the cool roof market. The global cool roof market is also being driven by the growing popularity of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly roofing systems. Furthermore, the increased green building projects are expected to boost the cool roof market during the forecast period. Additionally, the growth of residential and commercial industries will also drive market value growth.

Opportunities

• Eco-Friendly Roofing System And Provision Of Subsidies

Furthermore, the rising preferences towards energy efficient and eco-friendly roofing systems extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the provision of subsidies and tax benefits from government will further expand the future growth of the cool roof market.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Costs of Raw Materials and Maintenance

The costs of the raw materials is very high. Moreover, the high cost of maintenance and repair required to use the roof for a long time also restricts the cool roof market. Furthermore, the cost per square foot of cool proof is high, and many construction companies and builders have avoided using cool roof products in recent years due to the high costs. As a result, the manufacturer's ability to provide low-cost roofing materials is being hampered.

• Lower Awareness

Also, less awareness about the benefits of the cool roof products amongst the population is estimated to be a demerit for the cool roof market. Therefore, this factor will challenge the cool roof market growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on Cool Roof Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the cool roof market. To stop the virus from spreading, many governments planned to implement a nationwide lockdown. As a result, many markets suffered significant losses. The cool roof market has been severely impacted by the lockdown, as construction has been halted for several months. As a result, there was a labor shortage, transportation was slow, and the cost of raw materials increased. As a result, there were delivery and production delays, which increased demand for cool roof materials. Because of the lockdown and lack of logistics in the region, construction materials manufacturing companies in China are the most affected by the virus outbreak. Over the course of the current economic year, decreased consumer demand and consumption have resulted in reduced sales of construction materials and slowed all over the world. These aforementioned determinants largely weighed on the market's revenue trajectory.

On the plus side, as individual regulatory bodies begin to relax these imposed lockdowns, the market is expected to recover. As a result of the suspended and cancelled operations, the market is expected to expand.
