Market Trends of United States Gutter Guards Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Gutter Guards Market according to our research experts:
The Aging US population is driving the market
The United States of America is one of the world's most populous countries, trailing only China and India. A total population of around 320 million people and a more-or-less constant population growth rate over the last decade show that the country's living conditions and standards have continuously improved. As the population in United States is aging and the life expectancy is also increasing, many older consumers will not want to get on ladders and clean gutters and will opt to add gutter guards as a more permanent solution to the problem
Rainwater Harvesting Represents an Opportunity for Gutter Guard
Growing interest in rainwater harvesting provides growth opportunities for rainware companies and contractors that are diversifying their product lines to combat market maturity. Certain gutter guards, for example, can help strain and channel water into catchment systems. Rain harvesting has long been popular in dry areas of the West and South but is growing in popularity elsewhere in the US. While some homebuilders add rain harvesting equipment to create more environmentally friendly residences, in most cases these systems are installed by homeowners aiming to reduce water consumption or to be more self-sufficient. Many gutter guard companies are certifying theirs steel mesh gutter guard, indicating that the water strained by the product is fit for human consumption.
