Private Equity Eyes Fragmented Roofing Sector Amid Strong Growth
QXO has acquired a roofing company for $17.3 billion, setting a clear reference point for what a strategic acquirer will pay for a scaled commercial roofing platform. The US roofing contractors market has grown 5% annually over the past five years and is estimated to reach $92.5 billion in 2026. The industry remains fragmented, with most operators being owner-operated businesses that have never taken institutional capital. This deal was reported by PitchBook.
