Roofing granules are small, opaque mineral particles, usually crushed and graded rock such as basalt, coated with colored ceramic or other finishes and embedded in the surface of asphalt shingles and roll roofing. They protect the asphalt from ultraviolet light, add fire and impact resistance, give roofs their color and texture, and can be engineered to reflect sunlight (cool roof granules) or resist algae and smog. Roofing granules are used mainly in residential roofing, with additional use in commercial and industrial low-slope cap sheets and stone-coated metal roofing.

Latest Roofing Granule Market Trends (2026)

Cool roof and solar-reflective granules

Building energy codes and programs such as California's Title 24 encourage roofs that reflect sunlight. Solar-reflective granules let dark-colored shingles stay cooler, reducing cooling loads and urban heat.

Storm damage and re-roofing

Hail, wind and hurricane events in North America drive large volumes of roof replacement, the main source of shingle and granule demand.

Impact-resistant and algae-resistant shingles

Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and copper-containing granules that resist algae streaking are growing segments, especially in hail-prone and humid regions.

Industry restructuring

Holcim spun off its North American business as Amrize in 2025, including roofing brands such as Malarkey, while other roofing groups continue to expand capacity and acquire regional producers.

Smog-reducing and specialty granules

Photocatalytic and specialty-coated granules that help break down air pollutants or improve fire performance are being added to premium shingle lines.

Stone-coated metal roofing

Stone-coated steel roofing, which uses granules on metal panels, is gaining share in wildfire- and storm-prone areas and in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
