Residential Is the Largest Segment, Not Just a Growing One
Market Research Future values the US metal roofing market at $5.2 billion in 2024, rising to roughly $5.4 billion in 2025 and reaching $8.0 billion by 2035, a 3.99% compound annual growth rate across 2025 to 2035. Within that market, the residential segment is the largest of the three tracked segments, valued at $2.08 billion to $3.2 billion in 2024, ahead of both the commercial segment, at $1.56 billion to $2.4 billion, and the industrial segment, in that same range. The source publishes these as ranges rather than single-point figures, and describes residential as the segment that continues to lead.
The 3.99% compound annual growth rate is published at the overall market level only. No residential-specific growth rate is broken out separately, so this page presents that rate as overall-market context rather than implying it applies uniquely to the residential segment.
A Different Number, for a Different Segment
VA Horizon’s own commercial metal roofing coverage cites a separate figure from a different research firm, Grand View Research: the North America steel roofing market, which is commercial-heavy, was valued at $3.07 billion in 2022, growing at a 3.9% compound annual rate to 2030, with the commercial segment itself growing fastest at 4.2%. That figure measures a different segment, from a different source, over a different time period, and is not the same dataset as the residential figures above.
Read together, the two figures point toward the same broader pattern from two angles: metal roofing is expanding across both the residential and commercial sides of the market, with residential the larger of the two segments by dollar value in the more recent Market Research Future data.
