Sheet-Metal Roofing Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

The Sheet-Metal Roofing Manufacturing industry fabricates roofs made from thin, flat pieces of metal, typically steel or aluminum. Sheet-metal roofs have long been popular for use in garages, industrial buildings and commercial buildings. However, metal roofs are also gaining traction in the residential market because they are highly durable (able to endure several decades with relatively little maintenance), do not burn, can resist damage from severe weather, are environmentally friendly and are easy to install and repair. Due to sustained demand from the construction markets and resilient corporate profit levels, industry revenue is expected to have grown at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach $2.2 billion in 2023, when revenue is set to fall 9.0% as input prices fall.In recent years, prices of steel and aluminum have experienced periods of growth and have provided a boost to industry revenue. Low interest rates led to heightened levels of construction activity and increased demand levels experienced by industry operators, particularly in 2021. However, operational hurdles, amid the COVID-19 pandemic have hindered industry profit, which remains at 5.2% of revenue in 2023. The industry benefits from limited international trade in metal roofing, which is heavy, bulky and costly to transport. Imports fulfill an estimated 4.4% of domestic demand and pose little threat to industry operators.The industry is expected to experience a slight decline in the coming years, as still elevated interest rates cause commercial and residential construction activity to slow in the near term. Meanwhile the price of metal is expected to fall, which will contribute to limited industry revenue growth moving forward. Despite declines, industry operators could benefit from green initiatives, which emphasizes the importance of metal roofing. Overall, however, IBISWorld expects revenue to decrease at a CAGR of 1.5% to reach $2.0 billion in 2028.

Trends and Insights

  • As an input to construction, demand for sheet-metal roofing will fluctuate with the broader construction market. More specifically, sheet-metal roofing is more often used in commercial constructions.
  • Steel roofing leads the industry. Steel roofing is relatively cheap and durable.
  • Population centers draw manufacturers. The high volume of construction projects in major cities makes them ideal places for manufacturing facilities.
  • Competition is centered around quality and convenience. Manufacturers that can deliver high-quality products quickly to construction projects in the area enjoy the most success.
