A new report from a global market analyst company indicates the rainscreen cladding market is set for significant growth thanks to growing demand from the construction and infrastructure industry. It also found that metal rainscreens dominated the market share over the previous year.
The report, from The Insight Partners marketing research firm, projects the rainscreen cladding market size will exceed $22.56 billion by 2031. This report identifies the increasing demand for energy-efficient and moisture-resistant building solutions, especially in commercial and institutional sectors, along with favorable government policies worldwide as the key factors driving this growth.
Key findings
Market Growth
The Rainscreen Cladding Market was valued at $15.01 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $22.56 billion by 2031. The report finds the global Rainscreen Cladding Market is enjoying substantial growth and is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in the foreseeable future. This growth is attributed to the increasing focus on the growing significant demand from the construction and infrastructure industry. Based on cladding material, the market is categorized into ceramic, timber, composite material, metal, others. The metal segment dominated the market in 2024.
International policy
The government of Canada announced an investment of $22 billion CAD ($15.35 billion USD) to develop 15 projects in 2025, which include new hospital construction projects, energy initiatives, and water/wastewater projects. In March 2025, Germany’s Parliament, Bundestag, approved the draft bill amending the Basic Law which allows for the establishment of a special fund with additional €500 billion ($539.12 billion USD) for German infrastructure to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. Further, PPP (public–private partnerships) entities in Canada are planning to invest more than $76 billion CAD ($53.02 billion USD) to develop eight of their top 20 projects by the end of 2025. The burgeoning popularity of PPP projects fuels the demand for durable and energy-efficient rainscreen cladding to improve energy efficiency, weather resistance, and overall building performance. Thus, the growing number of new infrastructure development and construction projects propels the rainscreen cladding market.
Consumer focus on sustainability
With climate change and pollution becoming increasingly significant concerns, both consumers and businesses are prioritizing sustainability in their construction operations. Rainscreen cladding can propel energy efficiency and regulate temperature within buildings by forming a vented air gap between the cladding and the structure. Businesses and consumers across the world are highly emphasizing on adopting green building certifications, such as LEED and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method). Sustainable cladding is critical for acquiring these certifications, making them more appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and businesses having an interest in eco-friendly solutions.
In response to the elevated demand for eco-friendly solutions, the report finds companies in the global rainscreen cladding market are focusing on marketing their offerings by highlighting their sustainability benefits.
Technological advancements
The report suggests technological advancements and ongoing research activities will transform the sector in coming years. The adoption of advanced technologies such as computer numerical control (CNC), 3D modeling and printing, and new materials are already making an impact on rainscreen cladding market. In June 2024, Sotech Optima partnered with Vertical Meadow to develop and launch an innovative “living wall” rainscreen cladding solution to enhance urban environments and promote sustainable living. In February 2025, Sotech Optima used anodized aluminum profiles (6063T6) to develop brand-new Optima BrickTech rainscreen cladding systems.
Geographical insights
In 2024, North America led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Further, the report predicts Asia Pacific will register the highest growth during the forecast period.
