Cool Roof Global Market Report 2025

The cool roof market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.64 billion in 2024 to $23.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as rising urbanization, energy efficiency mandates, a growing demand for passive energy solutions, increased adoption of green construction practices, and heightened interest in renewable energy solutions.

The cool roof market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as rising energy costs, global warming and climate change, government regulations and incentives, increased environmental awareness, and growth in the construction industry. Key trends expected during this period include a rising demand for eco-friendly building materials, technological advancements in roofing materials, innovations in cool roof coatings, the availability of advanced reflective materials, and a growing consumer preference for eco-friendly solutions.

The growing construction of commercial buildings is expected to drive the expansion of the cool roof market in the coming years. Commercial buildings, which are primarily used for business activities such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and other service-oriented facilities, are on the rise due to urbanization. As city populations grow, the demand for office spaces, retail centers, and service facilities to support economic activity increases. Commercial building construction supports the adoption of cool roofs by providing large, flat rooftop surfaces that are ideal for installing reflective roofing materials, reducing heat absorption, and enhancing energy efficiency. For example, in April 2025, a report from the U.S. Census Bureau revealed that public construction spending reached an estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate of $509.3 billion in February, reflecting a 0.2% increase from the revised January figure of $508.1 billion. As a result, the increasing construction of commercial buildings will continue to fuel the growth of the cool roof market.

Leading companies in the cool roof market are developing cutting-edge products, such as energy-efficient cool roof coatings, to help reduce indoor cooling costs. These reflective coatings are applied to rooftops to minimize heat absorption, thereby lowering building temperatures and reducing the energy required for cooling. For example, in June 2024, NanoTech Materials Inc., a U.S.-based thermal materials manufacturer, launched its next-generation Cool Roof Coating. This innovative coating is designed to enhance energy efficiency in roofing applications by significantly reducing heat absorption, improving overall thermal performance. The coating features a high-quality resin composition with 71% solids, ensuring durability and long-lasting protection. It is also easy to apply, as it can be sprayed or rolled on in a 25-wet-mil layer.

In March 2022, Holcim, a Switzerland-based building materials manufacturer, acquired Malarkey Roofing Products for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Holcim's position in the U.S. residential roofing market by incorporating Malarkey Roofing Products' sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. The move expands Holcim’s portfolio of innovative roofing products and reinforces its commitment to a green growth strategy. Malarkey Roofing Products is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in cool roofing solutions.

A cool roof is a type of roofing designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofs. It is typically made from special materials or coatings that enhance its ability to reflect solar energy, which helps keep buildings cooler. By reducing the amount of heat that enters the building, cool roofs can lower indoor temperatures, reduce the need for air conditioning, and decrease energy costs.

The main types of cool roofs include low-sloped roofs, steep-sloped roofs, and domed roofs. Low-sloped roofs feature a gentle pitch, usually with a slope of 312 or less, allowing water to drain slowly. These roofs are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings. They incorporate materials such as thermoplastic olefin (TPO), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others, and are applied in both residential and non-residential buildings.
