Description
Concrete roof tile market Germany: consumption in million m² and forecast to 2031
How is the concrete roof tile market in Germany developing? The dataset provides the consumption of concrete roof tiles in million m² of roof area for every quarter from Q1/2021 to Q4/2031 – as historical market data and forecast.
It covers extruded tiles made of cement, quartz sand and pigments, such as the double-S profile, used solely on pitched roofs. They are heavy, inexpensive and durable but more prone to moss than clay. Their focus is price-driven multi-family, commercial and agricultural building, while clay leads on single-family homes. Being heavy and low in value, they are supplied by decentralised plants to their surrounding regions, so cross-border trade is minor. Slate, metal and flat-roof membranes are separate datasets.
Concrete tiles share the pitched-roof market with clay and largely follow its path. The downturn hit them fully: new-build roofs disappeared, re-roofing was postponed and energy prices weighed on mineral materials; their price advantage softened the fall slightly. Over the long term concrete loses share to clay on appearance, quality and the trend towards natural materials, but this shift is slow. Roofing comes late in the sequence, after the shell and roof structure.
Which questions about the concrete roof tile market does the dataset answer?
- How sharply did concrete tile consumption fall in the downturn, and how does it recover?
- How does in-house sales and plant planning compare with expected concrete tile consumption to 2031?
- How is demand split between residential and non-residential buildings?
- What weight does re-roofing of existing buildings carry compared with new roofs?
Who is the dataset for?
Concrete tile plants use the series for capacity and logistics planning in their regional delivery areas, and suppliers of cement and pigments for sales planning. Roofing contractors and builders’ merchants gain a volume basis; investors and analysts can benchmark concrete against clay.
Data basis and methodology
The dataset shows the total market and the split by new build and renovation and by residential and non-residential. The model combines building completions, building permits and re-roofing activity with a material-neutral pitched-roof geometry per square metre of floor area, the concrete share in each segment and the lag of roofing. The model was cross-checked against available market and industry data as well as internal data.
Delivered as CSV and Excel files, each in German and English, with 44 quarterly values. Related datasets: Clay roof tiles (plain, interlocking), Slate (natural roofing), Roof underlay membrane and all data on roofs.
