INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The objective of this report is to provide business planners, investors, and other professionals with quantifiable market measurement and analysis that can help them formulate strategic business plans and make key investment decisions.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Commercial roofing is a $3.2 billion industry in North America that defines the livelihood of more than 28,000 roofing contractors, thousands of manufacturer employees that produce the products and the distributors that carry these products. Although it was hard hit by the recent economic downturn, the roofing industry remains a vital part of the economy.
This BCC study is a comprehensive reference work that defines and describes the industry. In preparation of this document, we have read, analyzed and condensed information from industry sources, trade literature, producer and distributor websites and other reference material. The industry is diverse, creative and dynamic. 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.
