Market Dynamics

Rising focus on energy conservation and growing green building trend to augment the industry growth

The building and construction sector is attributed as one of the prominent contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse emissions. The growing need for understanding energy use and consumption has become crucial in the construction sector. Increased environmental awareness and rising government initiatives have resulted in the development of green construction activities across the globe. The growing urban population, increasing building and construction activities, and surging energy consumption along with rising energy costs have led to increased implementation of stringent building energy codes across the globe.

Implementation of building energy codes in developed and developing countries along with the establishment of green building rating systems, such as Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) in the U.K., Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in the U.S. and Canada, and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is anticipated to have a positive impact on the demand of building insulation materials.

High cost of polyisopreneprene (PIR) and polyurethane (PU) insulation material can restrict the product demand

Polyisoprenecyanurate and polyurethane foam insulation are two of the most expensive types of insulation. As a result, polyisoprene and PU insulation is not preferred and is only used in limited applications for wall insulation. Most regions meet the demand for polyisoprene and polyurehtane insulation through imports, with most of these imports passing through Europe and North America. This factor may pose a challenge in domestic markets in regions such as Latin America and Africa. Despite their superior properties, the high cost of polyurethane and polyisopreneprene foams is limiting demand for these material types across the globe.

Focus on the development of high-performance insulation products to provide various growth opportunities

Various state and federal governments throughout the world have launched a variety of projects to lower carbon di-oxide emissions. The need for renewable energy sources and a decrease in energy waste has increased as a result of growing public awareness of climate change. The usage of effective building insulation materials with promising mechanical features, such as stiffness, rigidity, and elevated temperature endurance, coupled with chemical resistance to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are anticipated to propel the product market growth.

How does the Polystyrene segment fairing in the market?

Based on material type, the polystyrene segment is estimated to lead the building insulation materials market in 2023, in terms of value. Polystyrene is a waterproof thermoplastic foam that is a good insulator of both temperature and sound. Compared to fiberglass, polystyrene is a lightweight material, is easier to install, and can be simply trimmed to fit into walls and ceilings. Various advantages of polystyrene over other material type is one of the key factors that bolster the consumption of the product in the market.

The fiberglass segment accounts for a significant share of the global building insulation materials market and is expected to grow at a substantial growth rate during the forecast period. Fiberglass, also known as glass wool is one of the common insulation materials, produced by weaving fine strands of glass. Fiberglass is manufactured commonly from recycled glass. Fiberglass is an excellent non-flammable insulation material. Fiberglass has a lower cost but requires proper precautions during its handling & installation.

Which end use sector is expected to dominate the industry?

The residential segment is estimated to dominate the building insulation materials market in 2023 and is projected to grow at significant CAGR during the forecasted period. Significant growth of residential construction and a rebound in residential buildings in the developed market is expected to increase the consumption of these materials in the residential sector.

The commercial sector is estimated to provide several lucrative growth opportunities to building insulation materials manufacturers across the globe. Increasing government initiatives for infrastructural development and an increasing number of public-private commercial projects in developing countries are a few prominent factors driving the commercial construction sector.

Increased focus on the development of healthcare, institutional, and office workplace infrastructure is expected to bolster commercial construction activities. Also, the emergence of IT parks and business centers is also boosting the growth of commercial construction. Thus, growing commercial construction activities are expected to drive the demand for building insulation products.

Competitive Landscape

Market players have been focusing on the expansion of production capabilities and global footprint. Various key players are also focusing on the development of eco-friendly products in order to tackle the changing regulatory scenario and increased environmental awareness.

The global building insulation materials market is substantially consolidated, and tier-one market players account for more than one-third of the total market share. Prominent market players are strategically engaging in acquisition and business expansion activities in order to extend their business footprint across the globe to target different market regions.

For instance,

In December 2022, Saint-Gobain began a recycling operation at two locations in California where windscreen glass wastes are recovered and used to make insulation through its building goods company CertainTeed Insulation and its automotive glass subsidiary Saint-Gobain Sekurit. The finished glass cullet is then transported to a facility owned by CertainTeed Insulation in Chowchilla, California, where it is employed as a crucial recycled component in the creation of fiberglass insulation.

In November 2022, Evonik created a new range of specialised feedstocks called TEGO Therm that significantly enhances the functionality of thermal insulation coatings (TICs). Two microporous silica-based granules, TEGO® Therm HPG 6806 and TEGO® Therm HPG 4000 as well as a heat-resistant silicone-based binder, TEGO® Therm L 300, are included in the new product line.
