Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) are the two most popular single ply membranes in the U.S. roofing market. Each has its advantages and limitations, and the choice often depends on climate, cost, and performance expectations.

According to Stratview Research, the US single-ply membrane market was valued at USD 3.7 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a steady CAGR of 6.4% during 2024-2030 to reach USD 5.4 billion in 2030.

Drivers:

• TPO Growth: Its white reflective surface meets energy codes and reduces urban heat island effects.
• EPDM Longevity: Proven track record in northern climates where UV resistance is critical.
• Low Slope Commercial Roofing Demand: Most new commercial buildings feature flat or low-slope roofs.

Challenges:

• Product Differentiation: Many contractors find membrane brands visually identical, complicating selection.
• Quality Variation: Performance can vary widely depending on manufacturer and formulation.
• Installation Issues: Improper seaming or adhesion can lead to early failure.

Opportunities:

• R&D Investment in Hybrid Membranes
• Growth in Roof Restoration Using Overlays
• Increased Use in Schools, Hospitals, and Data Centers

Trends:

• TPO becoming the fastest-growing segment
• Self-adhered membranes gaining traction for ease of use
• Manufacturers offering full-system warranties to build trust

Conclusion:

TPO and EPDM continue to compete across U.S. roofing projects. As the market matures, installers and building owners will prioritize systems that offer both performance and long-term cost savings.
