The roofing underlayment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.35 billion in 2025 to $31.3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in residential roofing activities, increased adoption of asphalt felt underlayment, reliance on traditional mechanically attached systems, expansion of commercial building construction, rising awareness of secondary roof protection.
The roofing underlayment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $40.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for synthetic and rubberized underlayment, growth in self-adhesive installation systems, increasing focus on waterproof roofing solutions, expansion of new residential and non-residential projects, innovation in lightweight and durable underlayment materials. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of synthetic underlayment for enhanced durability, rising adoption of self-adhesive roofing underlayment systems, increasing preference for waterproof protection in high-rainfall regions, expansion of residential construction fueling underlayment demand, advancements in asphalt-saturated and rubberized underlayment materials.
The increase in the construction of both residential and non-residential buildings is projected to drive the growth of the roofing underlayment market in the future. Construction involves the assembly and erection of structures that provide shelter for residential or commercial purposes. Roofing underlayments are utilized in all residential and commercial buildings, serving as a barrier between the framing materials and the top layer of shingles in roof construction to help prevent water leaks. For example, in June 2025, data from GOV.UK, the UK government’s official services and information website, reported that between April 2024 and March 2025, Homes England supported the initiation of 38,308 new homes and the completion of 36,872 units. This reflects a year-on-year growth of 5% in housing starts and 12% in completions, demonstrating significant progress in accelerating housing delivery compared to the prior year. Thus, the growth of the construction industry is fueling the expansion of the roofing underlayment market.
Leading companies in the roofing underlayment market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions, such as synthetic roof underlayment, to improve durability, weather resistance, installation efficiency, and overall roofing performance. Synthetic roof underlayment is a man-made protective layer installed directly on the roof deck beneath the main roofing material. For example, in June 2025, Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (IPG), a US-based manufacturer of packaging and protective solutions, launched NovaSeal PRO, a residential roofing underlayment designed to deliver exceptional performance and value. The product features a lightweight, installation-friendly design that enhances on-site handling while providing high tensile strength and slip resistance for improved worker safety. Its advanced nonwoven synthetic construction ensures long-term durability, moisture protection, and compatibility with a wide range of roofing materials, making it suitable for both new construction and re-roofing projects. NovaSeal PRO is now available through major roofing distributors across North America.
In May 2023, Kingspan Group plc, an Ireland-based building materials company, acquired CAPLAST s.r.l. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Kingspan Group aims to reinforce its position in the advanced plastics and building materials sector, boost its manufacturing capabilities, and expand its product offerings across European markets. CAPLAST s.r.l., based in Germany, provides roofing underlay and under-roof membrane solutions.
