big jump in market share. It moved from about eight percent in 2014 to 11% in the re-roofing market in 2015. Total demand for metal roof ing increased from 11.7 million squares to 17.7 squares. The study was designed to estimate the size of the U.S. new construction and repair and remodeling market for metal roofing and looked at copper, vertical ribbed panels, shingles, shakes, tiles and slate panels. The study exam ined metal roofing activity across nine U.S. Census regions. Overall, the gains are within three to five points. The East South region, including Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, reached 22%, a gain of eight points. Other big gains occurred in the South Atlantic region which includes: Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia which now boasts 12% market share. The West North Central region, which includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota now holds 10% market share and the Mountain region: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming is also at 10%, up from seven percent the previous year. The study also points out that when metal share increases, it reflects a decrease of other markets. The asphalt market share dropped two percent while wood shake and shingle dropped one percent. Concrete roof tile and flat roofing (built-up) remain at 2 percent market share. So KUDOS must go out to the efforts of the MRA .
