Global Eco-Friendly Green Roofs Market Definition

A Green roof, also known as a living or vegetated roof, incorporates multiple layers, such as a waterproofing membrane and protective layer, on the traditional roof. The eco-friendly green roof is an emerging technology that could provide a wide range of benefits to communities. Installation of eco-friendly green roofs includes the construction of a vegetative layer on top of a house or building. An eco-friendly green roof primarily consists of a vegetation layer, which includes trees, plants, and shrubs. The major benefits of an eco-friendly green roof are reducing energy, greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing stormwater management, and decreasing heat by regulating the temperature of the roof and the surrounding areas.

The construction of green roofs allows for modern social development as well as sustainable development in comparison to the conventional gravel-ballasted roof, which contributes to the problem of the urban heat island and water scarcity. The new technology, using natural processes, helps conserve water and reduce solar heat gain. They help to reduce the carbon load of buildings, especially in the summertime, which results in a cooler environment and less consumption of electricity. They also help in controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, its use makes construction eco-friendly and energy-efficient.

Global Eco-Friendly Green Roofs Market Overview

The Eco-Friendly Green Roofs Market is estimated to expand significantly during the forecast period, as these roofs provide thermal insulation, improve air quality and drainage systems, protect the roof, and reduce the effect of global warming. Eco-friendly green roofs regulate temperature, by providing warmth during winter and keeping the roof cool during summer. Eco-friendly green roofs also help improve air quality by reducing sulfur dioxide, nitrous acid, and carbon dioxide, which in turn is likely to reduce the effect of global warming.

These desirable properties of eco-friendly green roofs are expected to drive the Eco-Friendly Green Roofs Market during the forecast period. In addition, the Expansion of the residential construction sector on account of the growing population coupled with the improved standard of living is projected to result in increased product adoption, thereby driving the market over the forecast period. In addition, rapid industrialization in emerging regions, such as the Asia Pacific, is projected to stimulate product demand to minimize air pollution.

Furthermore, the Easy installation of extensive green roof systems along with rising environmental concerns is expected to be the key factor driving the growth of this segment. The planting medium for these systems ranges from 1.6 to 6.0 inches deep. An extensive green roof is majorly used in residential buildings, sheds, and garages. The product has a simple installation process and is often added to the existing roofs. Major plants used are drought-tolerant sedums and grasses as they require little water and are shallow-rooted.

However, the Lack of proper designing layout and guidelines for the installation of living roofs is expected to pose a threat to the market growth. In addition, unfavorable climatic conditions like extreme heat in regions, such as the Middle East, are likely to limit industry growth. Moreover, low-maintenance facilities are anticipated to further pose a challenging environment for market growth.
