Geometrical roof trusses are structural frameworks from wood, steel or engineered material, members, which are intended to support roofs. They are commonly applied in residential, commercial, and industrial constructions because they are light weight, economical, and easy to install. Roof trusses are used in many roof shapes, such as sloping, gable and vaulted roofs, capable of securing, a higher load carrying capacity and a short construction time. Their utility and reach mean that they are a strong candidate in current construction work.

Market for the roof truss has been expanding with the rising construction activities fuelled by the urbanisation, population and the expansion of the following infrastructure. Roof truss demand is driven by all three factors, of being inexpensive, being a lightweight construction and easy to install as opposed to traditional roof installations. Furthermore, the trend towards sustainable construction and energy-saving buildings also helps incorporate them. Improvements in materials, such as engineered wood and steel, are also improving the strength and serviceability of roof trusses, driving market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Disruptions Impact Roof Truss Market with Supply Chain and Labor Shortages

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic first affected the roof truss market through the lack of work to be done, disruption of supply chain, and lack of labor. Lockdowns and constraints that limited project starts resulted in reduced demand. However, as the construction sector recovered, the market adapted by focusing on prefabricated, efficient solutions that minimized labour requirements. Increased emphasis on residential construction and the need for safe, durable building solutions contributed to a gradual recovery, especially in regions with ongoing infrastructure development.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Disrupts Supply Chains and Increases Material Costs

The Russia-Ukraine war has affected the market of roof truss through supply-chain disruption, mainly through steel and wood materials, through a combination of trade limitations and cost increases. As the cost of raw materials (such as timber and metal) increased, so did the cost of production to the roof trusses. Uncertainty due to geopolitical strife has further dampened construction activities in the impacted areas, thereby affecting demand. Perhaps due to the fact that the situation in these regions is not directly connected with the conflict, yet the demand for robust and energy-efficient building technologies remains the same, the requirement for resilient and energy-efficient building solutions is still trending in these parts of the world.

Israel-Hamas War Impact

Israel-Hamas Conflict Slows Construction Activities and Delays Roof Truss Demand

The Israel-Hamas crisis has created regional instability, affecting construction and delaying new projects in conflict zones. Due to lack of certainty and perceptions of insecurity, hesitant investment has resulted in decreased demand for construction materials such as roof trusses. Furthermore, higher material prices and logistical difficulties associated with supply chain disruptions can also lead to higher prices for truss roofings, although the end-of-life-related impact will largely depend on the length of conflict and its scale.

LATEST TRENDS

Adoption of Prefabricated and Engineered Wood Trusses Drives Efficiency and Labor Cost Reduction

One of the main trends in the market for roof trusses is the increasing use of prefabricated/engineered wood trusses that bring along with them higher efficiency, a decrease in labor costs, and faster installation. The application of sophisticated materials such as engineered wood, steel, and recycled items is becoming more popular because of their sustainability advantages and decreased carbon emissions. In addition, the transition from the analogue to the digital design and prefabrication methods, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), is accelerating the precision of the design and is resulting in less waste during the production and installation of roof trusses.
