Driven by the recovery of the North American housing market and the rapid development of low-rise residential buildings in Southeast Asia, the global demand for asphalt shingles has continued to surge in 2026, with a market growth rate of over 20%. Chinese asphalt shingle enterprises have ushered in an export boom, with export volume increasing by 38% year-on-year in the first half of 2026.
Asphalt shingles are favored by the market due to their low cost, light weight, easy installation, rich colors and styles, and are especially suitable for low-rise residential buildings, vacation homes and commercial buildings. In the United States, asphalt shingles account for more than 70% of the residential roofing market; in Southeast Asia, with the development of the real estate market, the demand for cost-effective asphalt shingles is growing rapidly, with an annual growth rate of over 25%.
Chinese asphalt shingle enterprises are continuously upgrading their products to adapt to the needs of different markets: fire-resistant asphalt shingles meet the strict fire protection standards of North America; UV-resistant and high-temperature resistant asphalt shingles are suitable for the tropical climate of Southeast Asia; and colored asphalt shingles with various styles meet the needs of different architectural designs. At present, Chinese asphalt shingles have been exported to more than 80 countries and regions, and their market share in the global market is increasing year by year.
