APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Overview
APAC
single-ply flat roofs market is forecast to reach US$922.3 Million by 2026, after growing
at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2021-2026. The market's growth can be attributed to the growing consumption of flat roofing
system membranes such as ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, thermoplastic polyolefin, and polyvinyl chloride. Single-ply flat roofing systems are designed to be installed
in one layer with great flexibility and resistance to UV radiation which is
estimated to grow the market size. Single-ply flat roofing systems offer
various properties such as cost-effectiveness, durability, excellent strength,
ease to installation, lightweight, excellent reflective properties, and others.
Additionally, thermoplastic polyolefins are less flexible olefine than ethylene
propylene diene terpolymer which is estimated to grow the
consumption of that membrane for single-ply flat roofs.

APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Installation Method
The mechanically
fastened method held the largest share for the global APAC single-ply flat roofs market in
2020. A mechanically fastened single-ply
roofing method is ideal for the installation of roofing systems as they are
used on all types of slopes without limitations and are mostly preferred for
hurricane-prone areas. Additionally, a mechanically fastened flat roofing
installation method was used to fixing mounting plates through the insulation
to the rood deck and then attaching the roofing system to the underlying
plates. Thus, it is being widely used installation method for single-play flat
roofs.
APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Membrane Type
Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer held the largest share in the global APAC single-ply flat roofs market in 2020. Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer is more cost-effective than other membranes such as polyvinyl chloride and thermoplastic polyolefins. EPDM membrane type is used as a high-performance and energy-efficient roofing system type. Additionally, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer offers versatility, UV protection, thermal shock durability, excellent strength, flexibility, ozone resistance, superior tensile strength, recyclability, and other properties. As well as when the weather becomes frozen, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer keeps its flex and protects productivity in high winds and hail. Furthermore, it is available in a variety of thicknesses and provides an aesthetically pleasing finish which makes them the ideal membrane type of single-ply flat roofs.
APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
Commercial
construction dominated the global market for single-ply flat roofs in 2020 and
is growing at a CAGR of 8% during 2021-2026 due to single-ply flat roofs
provide longevity for roofing systems and performance under dramatic weather changes in
commercial spaces. Furthermore, thermoplastic single-ply membranes are
polyvinyl chloride and TPO are manufactured to include a reinforcement layer
and provide additional strength and stability. Hence, increasing the commercial
sector is estimated to grow the market size. According to the India Brand
Equity Foundation (IBEF), under Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, a
total of 16,039 hospitals, including 8,059 private hospitals and 7,980 public
hospitals were enrolled in 2019. Additionally, the warehousing segment attracted private
equity investments of US$ 971 million in 2020. Hence, the growing commercial
sector is projected to boost the single-ply flat roofs market.
APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Segment Analysis – By Country
China dominated in APAC single-ply flat roof market in 2020 with 54% due to growing investment in construction activities in China. Single-ply flat roofing membrane types such as polyvinyl chloride, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, and thermoplastic olefins are used for low slope roofing systems in commercial and residential buildings due to their strength, flexibility, and high durability. Hence, the growing building activities are estimated to grow the market size. According to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), 14 construction investment projects were approved worth CNY177.8 billion (US$25.2 billion), following approvals of CNY68.9 billion (US$10.1 billion) in August 2020. Additionally, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's real estate market investment jumped from 15.7% in 2019 to 38.3% in January-February 2021. According to China Electronic Information Industry Development (CCID), the country is expected to spend CNY10 trillion (US$1.4 trillion) on new infrastructure projects between FY20-FY25. Hence, the rapidly developing infrastructure in China is projected to boost the single-ply flat roofs market.
APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Drivers
Rising building and construction activities in APAC
Polyvinyl
chloride membrane roofing is used for modular roofing residential and
commercial construction as it offers various properties such as flexibility,
lightweight, easy installation, versatility, durability, superior
resistance to moisture, wind, fire, and chemicals. Additionally, ethylene
propylene diene terpolymer/ ethylene propylene diene monomer is suitable for
roofings due to prevent UV radiation wear or exposure and is cost-effective.
Hence, increasing the building construction is estimated to grow the demand for
single-play flat roofs in the APAC region. According to Central
Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC), 1,68,606 new homes were approved
to construct in urban areas under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in 2021 in India. According to the Central Bureau Of
Statistics, the total sales of built houses in Indonesia has increased by
12,033 units in 2018, as compared with 7,884 units in 2017. Furthermore,
according to the Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Housing and
Urban Affairs indicate a housing shortage of about 3 crore units in rural areas
and 1.2 crore units in urban areas. Therefore, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the real estate
sector of India will grow US$ 1 trillion by 2030 and Rs. 65,000 crore (US$ 9.30
billion) by 2040. Hence, such factors are estimated to grow the market
size during the projected era.
Growing Consumption of Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer
Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer is more flexible polyolefin than thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is also more cost-effective than TPO and PVC. Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer provides various properties highly durable, flexible, UV radiation, and others, thus it is an ideal roofing solution for large commercial buildings, such as warehouses, office buildings, hotels, shopping centers, large retail stores, schools, and universities. Hence, its demand is growing.
APAC Single Ply Flat Roofs Market Challenges
Polyvinyl Chloride Membrane Posses Health and Environmental Risk
Polyvinyl Chloride contains dangerous chemical additives
including phthalates, lead, cadmium, and/or organotins which are
hazardous chemicals for health. Furthermore, high exposure to polyvinyl
chloride has increased the risk of liver cancer as well as brain and
lung cancers, lymphoma, and leukemia. Additionally, polyvinyl chloride is toxic plastic that
is dangerous to the environment. Hence, due to various health and environmental
effects, the consumption of brucine sulfate may hamper the market growth.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin is Slightly More Expensive than Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is widely used in low slope roofing systems as it provides outstanding resistance to ozone, ultraviolet rays, and some chemical exposure. But thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is more expensive than ethylene propylene diene monomer or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) rubber membrane roofs, thus it requires quality installation. According to West Roofing Systme Inc., the materials and labor cost of EPDM membrane is US$3.40 and US$7.50 per square foot for an average 20,000 sq. foot commercial roofing which is less than TPO (US$3.50 and US$7.50 per square foot). Hence TPO self-adhered roofing membranes high cost is limiting its use.
