Roofing Industry
The roofing industry is continuing to evolve with new materials, safety, and sustainability practices. More homeowners are looking for energy-efficient roofing options. Roofing materials, energy efficiency, roof safety, and roof maintenance are top issues for homeowners. 
Roofing is an Essential Part of Maintaining Your Home
The global roofing market is projected to reach $156 billion by 2030, seeing a 4.3% annual increase, according to a 2021 industry forecast.
253,044 roofing contractors are in the United States as of 2023.
The number of employees in the roofing contractors’ industry has grown by an average annual rate of 0.6% from 2018–2023.
The average U.S. roofing business has 3.2 employees as of 2023.
The number of roofing contractors in the U.S. is expected to decline by 1.7% in 2023.
Steep-slope asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material in the U.S., with 83% of roofing contractors listing it as their primary source of revenue, according to a 2023 report.
Roofing Life Span and Maintenance Facts
Regular roof maintenance is critical to keep homes and buildings intact and safe for those inside. This includes regular roof inspections—even if you’re not experiencing issues. Preventive measures can help you avoid costly repairs and premature roof replacement.
Residential asphalt shingles last an average of 15–30 years.
The average cost of an asphalt roof replacement is $10,053.
Roofing Safety and Injuries Facts and Statistics
Safety is a top priority in the roofing industry; unfortunately, injuries and fatalities are still possible. Due to this risk, it’s important to have guidelines to prevent accidents.
The roofing industry had a work injury rate of 59 deaths per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers in 2021, according to a 2022 report.
Falling from elevation is the leading cause of death in the construction industry, accounting for 34% of fatalities in 2020, according to a 2022 report.
In 2020, more than 350 U.S. construction workers died from a fatal fall.
According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, more than 56,000 falls to a lower level were reported in the U.S. construction industry in 2020.
This is why we advise you to avoid climbing up on your roof. Suppose your roof needs repair, replacement, or a new roof. Always contact a professional roofing contractor. The same advice is for any roof ventilation, skylights, gutters, or chimneys. Contact an expert for your and your family’s safety.
These facts suggest that homeowners are using more sustainable roofing alternatives with longer life spans. Class 4 Shingles and Polarium are excellent choices for a longer-lasting roof and energy-efficient materials.
