Ceresana has analyzed the global market for mineral, synthetic, and natural insulation materials used in the construction industry.
By: Ceresana Keeping Warm with Wool and Foam Insulation Renewable insulation materials made from cork, hemp, cellulose flakes, or other organic raw materials are becoming increasingly popular. Overall, however, bio-based insulation materials have only captured a small share of the overall market so far. The analysis of demand for insulation types shows: Mineral wool is currently the most widely used insulation material, accounting for more than half of global demand. This includes insulating materials made of glass wool or rock wool, which are manufactured from sand, stone, lime, and various minerals. These are followed by foamed plastics: expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyurethane (PUR), and polyisocyanurate (PIR). In the event of fire, natural insulating materials can be more advantageous because they burn less quickly and with less smoke than rigid foams. Tax Money for Energy-Efficient Refurbishment In a detached house built in the 1980s, insulating the façade and roof alone can reduce energy consumption by more than a third, not to mention insulating the story and basement ceilings. Many countries therefore have state subsidy programs for the energy-efficient refurbishment of buildings. In the European Union, plans for a general renovation obligation have been abandoned. Nevertheless, there are good prospects for insulation manufacturers: New Edition of the Ceresana Market Study "Insulation Materials – World": Chapter 1 provides a complete description and analysis of the global insulation material market – including forecasts up to 2033. For each region of the world, this chapter shows production and demand as well as the revenues generated with insulation materials. Chapter 2 presents the production, demand, import, export, and sales of insulation materials for 16 countries. These construction segments are differentiated: Chapter 3 presents 69 company profiles of the most important insulation material manufacturers. Further information: End
