Cool Roof Coatings Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Cool Roof Coatings Market Overview

The cool roof coatings market size is estimated to reach US$5.7 billion by 2027, and will grow at a CAGR of around 6.2% from 2022 to 2027. The cool roof coatings are the reflective thick paints or pigments that help in reflecting the sunlight and protect the roof surface from the UV light, heat, and chemical damage. Various cool roof coating types such as spray polyurethane coating, modified bitumen, silicone, and others are used in the market. The elastomeric coating, and IR reflective coatings are used in various residential buildings, commercial sector, industrial buildings, and others. The growing construction activities and building projects is driving the cool roof coatings market. Furthermore, a rise in the development of green buildings owing to growing emission concerns will boost the growth of the cool roof coating market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The cool roof coatings market was majorly impacted by the economic slowdown in the covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic led to halt in manufacturing activities, logistics disturbances, supply and demand gap, and other lockdown restrictions. The cool roof coatings have major application in the residential construction sector. The demand for construction projects and activities saw a major decline during the outbreak. The labor shortages, disrupted supply chain, and closure of construction sites led to fall in the growth for the market. Moreover, rise in construction costs, unavailability of raw materials, and poor transportation system disrupted the demand for various residential as well as commercial building projects. According to the World Bank, the annual growth of the construction industry saw a decline of 2.48% in 2020. The decline in demand for the construction industry led to fall in the applications of the cool roof coatings in residential sector such as low-sloped roofs, walls, roof slabs, and others also declined. Thus, the global cool roof coatings market saw a major fall in the growth during the pandemic.

Cool Roof Coatings Market Drivers

Increasing adoption of the green building codes

The cool roof coatings are energy efficient, environment friendly and economic options that keep the building cool. The increasing adoption of the green building codes by various countries is driving the cool roof coatings market. The rise in concerns towards the carbon emission and high energy consumption has encouraged the government to adopt the green building initiation. This is boosting the demand for the cool roof coatings market. For instance, the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC), along with LDA and EPA announced to launch online tool in order to assess and reduce the carbon emission in construction sector. The green building establishments eliminates the harmful impacts on environment, reduces carbon emissions, and saves energy as the cool roof coatings keep the buildings cooler and thereby lowers energy consumption. Thus, the increasing adoption of green building across the world is driving the global cool roof coatings industry.

Growing application in the buildings & construction sector

The demand of cool roof coatings in the building & construction sector is growing due to its increasing applications in roof slabs, walls, and other residential applications. The growing usage of silicone or acrylic coatings in buildings due to protection in extreme hot temperature, flexibility, and energy efficient features. The use of the cool roof coatings in green buildings for residential sector such as homes, apartments, and others, industrial sector such as mills, manufacturing plants, and others, and other construction establishments is driving the cool roof coating market. Furthermore, increased building projects and construction activities is influencing the demand of cool roof coatings in the market. According to the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC), construction of around 1,68,606 homes were approved in urban areas under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna in India in 2021. Thus, the high building and construction activities are offering major growth prospects for the cool roof coatings industry.

Cool Roof Coatings Market Challenges

Volatility in the prices of raw materials

The cool roof coatings have growing applications across various construction sectors. However, the volatility in the prices of raw materials such as acrylic, polyurethane, and others, which are derived from the crude oil is creating a major challenge in the market. According to the Energy Information Association (EIA), the WTI crude oil prices was US$ 50.38 per barrel in quarter 4th in 2019, reduced to US$ 40.34 per barrel in 1st quarter 2020, and rose to US$ 63.91 per barrel in 4th quarter 2021. The fluctuations in the crude oil prices hamper the manufacturing of elastomeric coatings and other product types. Thus, the high volatility in the raw material prices used to make coatings materials, the cool roof coatings will face major challenge in the market.
