PVC roofing membrane is single ply roofing which is used besides low- sloped roofs on flat roofs. PVC roof membrane consists of two layers. Between these two layers polyester is added for the support. These layers consist of additive which provides flexibility to the roofing material. PVC roofing membrane is durable and strong because of heat welded seams that provide watertight bonds which gives permanence to it. The global roofing membrane market is highly competitive due to presence of both large scale and small scale vendors. PVC roofing membrane is widely used in residential and commercial sectors because of its flexibility, durability and recyclability. Increase in demand of cost effective roofing membrane is expected to create growth opportunities for the PVC roofing membrane market.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the PVC roofing membrane industry attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This hampered the growth of market in 2020 and, is likely to revive in 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of PVC roofing membrane in the second and third quarter of 2020 and is reviving in 2021.
- The major demand for PVC roofing membrane was previously noticed from countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and India, which are negatively affected by the spread of the corona virus, thereby declining the demand for PVC roofing membrane.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. PVC roofing membrane manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans. For instance, various players in the market halted their production activities for several weeks to reduce the expenses. Whereas few players also adopted employee lay-offs to sustain during the COVID-19 health crisis.
- PVC roofing membrane manufacturers are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19. For instance, provision of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, as well as ensuring the vaccination of every employee in the company can assist in promoting the health & safety of the workforce.
Top Impacting Factors
Growth of construction industry is one of the key factors driving the growth of the PVC roofing membrane market across the globe. Demand for cost effective, flexible, and durable roofing has attracted the customers toward PVC roofing membrane. PVC roofing membrane is environment-friendly and has high solar reflectivity, which can reduce the temperature inside buildings. This leads to less power consumption for maintaining the temperature. This factor is expected to create opportunities for the PVC roofing membrane market. In addition, its long lasting ability reduces the scope of maintenance for a long period of time. This is another key driver to the market growth. It requires frequent inspection during rainy season to avoid standing water and leakages, which can be a tedious task and may hamper the growth of the PVC roofing membrane market.
