Roofing Industry

Ducker Worldwide has been partnering with roofing industry clients for over 50 years in understanding the complexities of the roofing market. Ducker Worldwide provides the roofing industry market research and market analysis. This research drives our expertise in roofing product development of both the residential and nonresidential markets. A key shift in the roofing industry is private equity investment into private and public companies along with heavy consolidation occurring over the past several years. Ducker Worldwide has consulted its clients in determining how they can successfully target the appropriate supply chain members, make prudent investments in research and development, as well as make strategic acquisitions to successfully enjoy a sustainable competitive advantage. Ducker Worldwide is a leader in roofing industry acquisition analysis, customer assessment and due diligence.

The residential roofing industry reached nearly 200 million squares in 2005. Despite the expected decline in the new construction segment, re-roofing activity will remain strong. This is a complex segment made up of a wide variety of products including asphalt shingles, concrete and clay tiles, wood shake, metal, composites, and slate. Key industry players within the residential roofing market include companies such as Atlas Roofing, Certainteed, Eagle Roofing Products, Elk, GAF, Monier Lifetile, and Owens Corning.

Ducker Worldwide also has expert consultants in the nonresidential roofing industry. This market is significantly different than the residential roofing industry and contains the following product segments: BUR (Built-Up Roofing), modified bitumen, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), and metal products. The nonresidential roofing market is extremely fragmented and the distribution base plays a key role in the market. Key industry companies within the nonresidential roofing industry include Centria, Firestone, Johns Manville, JPS, Lexcan, Owens Corning, Trumbull, and Vanguard. Overall in the building products industry, Ducker Worldwide understands the rate of Chinese imports. In addition, our offices in Shanghai, China monitor the pulse of extensive commercial construction and construction investment throughout China, including Guangzhou markets, Tianjin markets, and Beijing Markets.
