• In terms of the end-user industry segments, the residential segment is expected to account for the largest market share.
• Among countries, Germany is expected to dominate the regional market due to growth in its construction industry.

Key Market Trends

Consistent Growth of the Residential Segment

• The usage of roofing tiles for residential applications is increasing because roofing tiles can reduce the overall heat transfer into the attic space by almost 70%, compared to an asphalt shingle roof.
• Roofing tiles are available for various types of residences, including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartment buildings. The installation of roofing tiles in residential applications is one of the most cost-effective choices due to their long lifespan.
• The UK Government, under NPIF, is planning to invest GBP 23 billion in housing, science and innovation, transport, and a 5G network over the next five years, of which around GBP 7.2 billion has been allocated to the construction of new homes and GBP 4 billion for infrastructure.
• Furthermore, in the United Kingdom, with an investment of USD 333 million, the construction of a 40-story residential tower and a 14-story office building at Albion Street in Central Manchester was commissioned in the third quarter of 2021, with completion estimated by 2024.
• As per the European Commission, the French government, under its Housing First Plan (Le Logement D’abord) (2018-2022), announced tax waivers. Under the 2020 budget, the housing tax was entirely removed for 80% of French households. With regard to the remaining 20%, the country’s wealthiest households, there was a gradual decrease in this tax rate from 2021, followed by a complete cessation of housing tax by 2023.
• According to Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE), the net household construction was anticipated to increase at an average pace of around 135,000 units every year from 2019 to 2025. Thus, the residential construction sector is expected to grow significantly over the latter period of the forecast period.
• Owing to all the abovementioned factors, the European roofing tiles market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.

Germany to Dominate the Market

• The German economy is the largest in Europe and the fifth-largest in the world. In line with the country’s construction industry growth, the demand for roofing tiles is likely to increase over the coming years.
• In October 2021, the construction of 29,597 dwellings was permitted in Germany. Building permits from January to October 2021 increased by 4.2% compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Additionally, as of December 2021, turnover in building completion work increased by 9.1% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of the previous year, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).
• According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in 2021, the construction of 380,914 dwellings was permitted in Germany, registering an increase of 3.3% or 12,325 building permits compared with 2020. Furthermore, the annual turnover in the main construction industry in 2021 was up by 1% compared to the previous year.
• Furthermore, the new German Social Democrat government is focusing heavily on the housing crisis in the country. The government is creating an entirely new ministry to supervise its housing plans. The government has pledged more than 400,000 new housing units every year from 2022, 100,000 of which will be publicly subsidized. This is expected to fuel the demand for roofing tiles from the residential segment.
• Overall, such factors are expected to drive the construction industry in the country, which, in turn, is likely to drive the roofing tiles market through the forecast period.
