Insulation Market Size - By Product (Fiberglass/Glass Wool, Mineral Wool, Plastic foam, Others), By Application (Residential Construction, Industrial, HVAC & OEM, Non-residential Construction) & Global Forecast, 2022 - 2030

Insulation Market Size

Insulation Market size crossed USD 49 billion in 2021 and is all set to exhibit a CAGR of over 7% between 2022 and 2030.
 

A significant rise in investments across the construction sector focused on the development of robust infrastructure may drive industry expansion. The massive growth in the global population and an increasing number of people migrating from rural to urban regions have pushed the requirement for adequate housing and commercial spaces.
 

The fast-paced urbanization and industrial growth across developed and developing economies have encouraged government and administrative authorities to make noticeable investments in infrastructure development, spurring the demand for advanced insulation systems. In addition, the increasing construction of energy-efficient buildings driven by the rising environmental concerns and growing awareness about the efficient use of resources may further strengthen the insulation market outlook.
 

Insulation Market Analysis

The plastic foam segment is expected to witness growth rate of around 7% and will reach a valuation worth USD 53 billion by 2030. The increasing popularity of plastic wool insulation can be credited to its superior thermal resistance, inexpensiveness, and relatively low vulnerability to insects and moths compared to naturally derived insulation materials such as sheep wool insulation. The rising concerns about environmental sustainability and rapid growth in the utilization of recycled materials may positively influence the plastic wool insulation demand.
 

The residential construction application accounted for more than 50% of the insulation market share in 2021 and is speculated to exceed USD 46 billion by 2030. The increasing number of housing projects driven by the robust economic landscape and the consistent improvement in disposable incomes may create new growth prospects for the industry. As per Eurostat facts and figures, the household investment rates in Cyprus, Finland, Netherlands, and Germany accounted for 12.5%, 12%, 12%, and 10%, respectively in 2020. These investments, coupled with the strict government regulatory framework towards sufficing the proper building codes and insulation, may foster product adoption across the residential sector.
 

Regarding the regional landscape, the Asia Pacific insulation market is set to account for nearly 45% of the revenue share by 2030. Rapid population growth and surging urbanization and industrial development, paving the way for infrastructure expansion are likely to fuel the regional industry statistics. The Asia Pacific has witnessed a positive economic outlook and a  substantial rise in people's living standards, driving the adoption of energy-efficient insulation solutions. Moreover, the increasing emphasis on providing better roads and building infrastructure by governments across regional economies such as China, India, and Japan may transform the regional market dynamics.

COVID-19 Impact

The insulation industry experienced a significant drop in sales during the COVId-19 pandemic. The halt in new construction activities and repair and maintenance projects due to the imposition of strict lockdown measures across most economies resulted in diminishing demand for insulating materials. The non-availability of raw materials and labor migration disrupted the supply chain management. Aditionally, the diversion of government funds towards medical and healthcare further worsened the crisis. However, lately, with the significant reduction in COVID-19 infections and eased restrictions across several economies, the market is on its way to making a rapid recovery and may register considerable momentum over the coming years.
