Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Building Thermal Insulation Market


The global Building Thermal Insulation market size is projected to reach US$ 40.71 4.8%. by 2026, from US$ 30.73 4.8%. in 2020, at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2021-2026. Increasing residential and commercial application of the product to reduce the overall energy costs, coupled with rising awareness pertaining to energy conservation is expected to drive the growth.
Favorable regulations owing to focus on lowering the overall energy consumption is likely to be a major factor for driving the market. Thermal insulation helps reduce the dependency on Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), thereby lowering the overall energy consumption, which is expected to benefit the growth.

U.S. is expected to account for the largest share in North America. Various initiatives such as the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP,) which is focused on large scale product adoption in low income households is expected to play pivotal role in driving the growth.

Favorable building codes in U.S. and Canada, coupled with establishment of energy certification agencies such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) are expected to have a positive impact on the demand for building thermal insulation. However, stringent regulations imposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pertaining to use of foamed plastics, owing to their low bio-degradability and carcinogenicity may have a negative impact on the market growth.

Environmental impact of insulation materials is likely to shift the industrys focus to development of environment-friendly products over the forecast period. In addition, increasing prices of plastic foam is expected to have an adverse effect on the industry growth, thereby leading to development of alternative products.

Recyclable insulation is gaining popularity due to the stringent regulations governing conventional products such as plastic foams. Increasing preference for green, biodegradable and recyclable products by homeowners, architects, and businesses, owing to increasing environmental awareness is expected to boost the threat of substitutes in the market over the forecast period.
