Metal roofs are versatile and can be converted into any desired shape such as shingles or slates to fit the surface structures of different types of buildings. Moreover, the low lifecycle costs, less weight, and fire resistance of metal roofs are expected to drive their global demand over the forecast period.
The plastic roof segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% over the forecast period owing to advantages such as ease of installation, and low maintenance. However, plastic roofs offer lower aesthetic appeal than their counterparts. Furthermore, the product is particularly vulnerable to UV radiation degradation, thereby restricting its application.

The construction industry in South America mostly remained resilient even after the economic slump caused due to the pandemic. Factors such as uncertainty with respect to the economic policy and reforms in Brazil, and recent social unrest in various countries such as Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador are expected to have a negative impact on the region’s economic growth.
According to Flitch Rating and IMF, robust government spending in GCC countries is expected to boost expenditure on construction of hospitals, leisure projects, and schools, which, in turn, is expected to propel the growth of construction industry, thereby driving the product demand in the region.
