Europe is the largest regional market for green roof globally. Within Europe, Germany is the major contributor to the industry. In Germany, more than 90 million metre square of green roofs have been installed. Also, in London, the product has been widely adopted due to the major influence of the London Plan and accounts for about 42% of all UK green roofs. Several private companies have brought some of Europe’s newest green roof designs across the Atlantic to North America, thus, making North America a major emerging market for the industry.

In North America, the gradual acceptance of green roofs has taken place along with their use as a sustainable design practice for the environmental benefit. In the U.S., the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) adopted the product as a measure to reduce stormwater runoff and fight urban heat islands. Also, San Francisco became the first U.S. city where green roofs became mandatory on new construction from 2017.

The Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market in the industry. Within the Asia Pacific, China decided to create sponge cities, where green roofing would be one of the key elements to tackle the environmental problems brought about by rapid urbanisation. In Shenzhen city of China, subsidies are being provided for green roofing so that the area under green roofs can be increased by 200,000 ? from 2014 to 2020.

Properties and Applications

A green roof refers to a continuous layer of vegetation and soil, covering the surface of a roof. The major components required to construct green roofs are waterproofing, soil, and plants. They have proved to be instrumental in increasing the energy performance of buildings and in improving the health of urban watersheds and air quality. On the basis of type, the industry can be categorised as

• Extensive
• Semi-Intensive
• Intensive

The extensive types can be installed at a lower cost in comparison to the intensive types, and, thus, they dominate the market share. Based on application, the global green roof industry can be categorised as:

• Residential
• Commercial
• Industrial

The EMR report also covers the regional markets of the product like North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Market Analysis

The global green roof market is driven by the surged demand to adapt to greener methods and resources for the sustainable development of our environment. The rapid urbanisation accompanied with a massive increase in carbon emission and urban waterlogging has led to the growth of many environmental-related problems. The deteriorating air quality and an increased greenhouse effect are creating a rising demand for environmentally friendly technologies like green roof.

The construction of green roofs allows for modern social development as well as sustainable development in comparison to the conventional gravel-ballasted roof, which contributes to the problem of the urban heat island and water scarcity. The green roof technology, using natural processes, helps in conserving water and reduce solar heat gain. They help to reduce the carbon load of buildings, especially in the summertime, which results in a cooler environment and less consumption of electricity. They also help in controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, its use makes a construction eco-friendly and energy-efficient. These favourable factors are driving the healthy expansion of the green roof industry.

Globally, several initiatives have been taken by the government to attract individuals or organisations for using green roofs, like, in some European and US cities, councils now offer significant financial incentives to developers installing green roofs. In Hamburg, those installing green roofs can receive a subsidy of 30-60% on its installation cost. Thus, the lump-sum grants provided by the government help in the implementation of the green roofs on a large scale and give a further impetus to the industry growth.
