Liquid Applied Roofing System Market Report 2025

The liquid-applied roofing system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.52 billion in 2024 to $6.99 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for cost-effective waterproofing solutions, increased adoption in commercial and residential construction, growth in refurbishment and renovation projects, heightened awareness of energy-efficient roofing systems, and expanded use in flat and low-slope roof applications.

The liquid-applied roofing system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing focus on sustainable and green roofing materials, rising investments in infrastructure development, growing demand for quick-installation roofing systems, expanding urbanization and smart city initiatives, and an increase in extreme weather conditions necessitating durable roofing solutions. Key trends during this period include advancements in cold-applied liquid roofing technologies, development of advanced ultraviolet-resistant coating formulations, innovations in eco-friendly and low-volatile organic compound materials, integration of liquid roofing systems with smart sensors, and improvements in spray application techniques for faster coverage.

The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly roofing solutions is expected to drive growth in the liquid-applied roofing system market. These solutions involve roofing materials and techniques that reduce environmental impact by utilizing renewable resources, minimizing waste, and enhancing energy efficiency. This rising demand is fueled by greater awareness of environmental issues, as such roofing options help lower carbon footprints and improve building energy performance. Liquid-applied roofing systems contribute by offering seamless, durable, and energy-efficient waterproofing that cuts down on material waste and extends roof longevity. For example, in December 2023, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs set a legal target to increase England’s tree and woodland coverage to 16.5% by 2050, noting that timber-framed homes retain about 50% more carbon than masonry structures, with larger timber constructions retaining up to 400% more. Therefore, the growing emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly roofing solutions is driving the liquid-applied roofing system market.

Leading companies in liquid-applied roofing system market are focusing on innovations such as single-component polyurethane formulations to improve waterproofing performance, application efficiency, and sustainability of roofing systems. Single-component polyurethane refers to a ready-to-use, pure polyurethane resin packaged without the need for mixing catalysts or solvents. For instance, in July 2024, FLEX-R, a UK-based firm, launched LQD-PUR, a next-generation liquid-applied roofing system designed for fast, long-lasting waterproofing. This system employs advanced formulation technology to enhance flexibility and ensure strong adhesion across diverse surfaces. It is designed to accommodate complex roof shapes, including flat roofs and terraces, delivering a seamless, joint-free membrane. Its durability and environmental benefits make it suitable for both renovation and new construction projects.

In March 2023, Holcim, a Switzerland-based building materials company, acquired Quimexur for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to broaden Holcim’s liquid-applied roofing system portfolio and strengthen its roofing and waterproofing product offerings. The move supports Holcim’s strategy to promote innovation and sustainable building solutions throughout Latin America. Quimexur, based in the US, manufactures liquid-applied roofing systems and produces liquid membranes for roofing and waterproofing applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

A liquid-applied roofing system is a seamless, liquid-based roofing solution applied directly onto existing roof surfaces to create a durable, waterproof membrane. It uses specialized liquid materials that cure to form a flexible, protective layer resistant to weathering, ultraviolet radiation, and mechanical damage. This system is widely utilized for roof repair, maintenance, and new construction due to its ease of application and long-lasting performance.

The main types of liquid-applied roofing systems include polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, bituminous, and others. These systems provide a fully adhered, seamless roofing solution applied in liquid form that cures into a waterproof membrane. Applications span residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors, with key end uses in both new construction and renovation projects.
