The 2018 MCA Annual Market Study, presented by Randy Giggard of FMI, analyzes the position of metal roofing and wall products across the Residential, Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional sectors. Findings include:
- Metal is still gaining market share in roof and wall products across all markets sectors examined.
- Metal construction spending is projected to reach $2.8B and $1.8B for roof and wall products respectively by 2021.
- Key market trends are providing a tailwind for the metals industry, including adoption of solar power and energy codes.

Keeping MCA members educated and informed continues to be a priority. We're happy to announce:
- the sustainability and durability of metal roofing and wall systems
- how the sustainable building market is driving the evolution of product category rules (PCRs), life-cycle assessments (LCAs), and environmental product declarations (EPDs)
- extensive metal roof and cladding industry efforts to perform LCA studies and make this information freely available industry-wide.
- how metal roofing and cladding systems compare to other systems in terms of LCA
- shortcomings with current LCAs and subsequent EPDs and how they are being addressed
