Commercial roofing in North America defines the livelihood of more than 28,000 roofing contractors, thousands of manufacturing employees, and distributors. Although it was hard hit by the recent economic downturn, the roofing industry remains a vital part of the economy.

The range of products currently on the market is very broad, far exceeding the ability of any sole distributor to stock and wider than most industry observers may be aware of. There are many smaller producers today that have the capability of growing into major brands tomorrow. Some of these future success stories will ride the wave of demand for new products, such as building-integrated photo-voltaic (BIPV) roofing products that are increasingly finding their way into the mainstream of roofing alternatives.

This report is intended to provide necessary background and reference material for individuals involved in, or potentially interested in the North American roofing industry. This includes individuals and organizations involved in the development, formulation, manufacture, sale and use of roofing products, and related and ancillary businesses such as raw material suppliers, consultants, distributors, contractors and builders.
