Single-ply Membranes Market Updates

Global Single-ply Membranes Market size was valued at USD 7.66 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 8.37 Billion in 2024 to USD 16.08 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Single-ply membranes providers should focus on developing new membranes that are more capable of withstanding mechanical damage and punctures. Targeting developing economies with high infrastructure development investments is slated to be more rewarding for companies as per this global single-ply membranes market forecast. The scope for innovation is quite limited in this industry, which is why not many startups are operating.

Single-ply membranes are much lighter than traditional roofing systems such as built-up roofs or modified bitumen. This low weight of single-ply membranes lowers structural load and drives its adoption in new constructions and retrofitting older buildings. Lower labor costs and faster project turnaround times are also other benefits that are helping bolster the single-ply membranes market outlook. With increasing emphasis on material efficiency and minimal structural impact, the preference for lightweight construction materials such as single-ply membranes is rising.

Shift Toward Cool Roofing and Reflective Membranes: Growing preference for cool roofing systems, particularly reflective TPO and PVC membranes is emerging as a major single-ply membranes market trend for the future. These materials help reduce building heat gain by reflecting solar radiation, leading to lower air conditioning use and enhanced energy efficiency. Urban heat island concerns and stricter building energy codes are accelerating this trend.
