In addition, Denver’s approved a green roof program for freshly constructed sites with areas of more than 25000 square feet.

Type Insights

Minimal irrigation requirements and low capital cost per meter square coupled with nutrient requirements are some of the favorable factors attributing to the market growth. These roofs do not require a pre-defined structure for gardening and are, therefore, mainly suitable for single residential buildings.

Intensive product division is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 20.0% over the forecast period. High installation and maintenance costs along with heavyweight result in a comparatively smaller share for this segment. However, these products are gaining traction in industrial and commercial applications. The intensive roofs include grass and shrubs along with trees.

Commercial division is predicted to hold the dominant position, growing with a CAGR of 17.8% over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Europe was the largest market in 2018 and is expected to continue its lead over the years owing to the product benefits like energy bills and reduced stormwater. Favorable policies and subsidiaries by the government are expected to drive the market further. For example, the installation of the green roof on flat roofs of an area size of more than 330 square feet is mandated by Switzerland and Germany. The green roof bylaws have been supported by scientific proof leading to their growth.

North America is expected to grow at a CAGR of 26.5%, thus, becoming the fastest expanding region over the forecast period. Toronto, in North America, became the first city to approve a law for the green roof. In the Eco-Roof Incentive program, 420 newly established green roof permits were approved and owners of the building were granted $100 for every square meter of the green roof.
