Roofing, Siding & Insulation Wholesaling in the US industry analysis

The roofing, siding and insulation wholesaling industry is experiencing a surge in demand for durable, weather-resistant materials because of unprecedented extreme weather events and climate disasters. In 2024 alone, 27 weather-related billion-dollar incidents exacerbated the need for impact-resistant shingles, high-quality waterproofing membranes and advanced insulation products. A gain in the aging housing stock requiring upgrades also drives demand for non-wood roofing materials, reflecting the need for modern solutions to replace aging infrastructures. Growth in non-residential construction has also translated into higher order volumes for wholesalers, particularly from sectors such as healthcare, education, data centers and industrial buildings. Through the end of 2025, industry revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 5.3% to reach $82.7 billion, including a 1.0% gain in 2025 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Consolidation trends are reshaping the competitive landscape. Increasing M&A activity, like The Home Depot's acquisition of SRS Distribution and QXO's agreement to acquire Beacon Roofing Supply, represent attempts to consolidate a fragmented market and reach a larger customer base.
  • The 25.0% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will force wholesalers to raise prices on roofing, siding and insulation materials, such as metal panels and fasteners. These higher costs will likely reduce demand from contractors and homeowners, squeezing wholesalers' profit while they navigate competitive pricing pressures.
  • Extreme weather events in the Southeast region strengthen demand for roofing, siding and insulation materials. Wholesalers benefit from this consistent and urgent need, offering quick distribution and service after weather-related damages.
  • Key customers value extra services, including technical advice and same-day delivery. The capacity to deliver goods on time and as required to the customer is very important for building relationships and reputation.
