Airtight: Ceresana Report on the Global Market for Insulation Materials

Sales of insulation products such as panels or spray foam are recovering again. Ceresana has analyzed the global market for mineral, synthetic, and natural insulation materials used in the construction industry.
 
KONSTANZ, Germany - Jan. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Saving crude oil by using rigid foam panels made from crude oil? Styrofoam, Airpop, and co. actually save more energy than what was used to produce them. Demand for PUR, PIR, and EPS insulation materials is currently growing in particular. Ceresana predicts that the consumption of building materials for thermal insulation, cold insulation, and soundproofing, as well as fire protection, will grow to over 647 million cubic meters worldwide by 2033.

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: The EU member states have agreed to reduce energy consumption in the residential building sector by 20% by 2035 compared to 2020 and to renovate a quarter of the least energy-efficient non-residential buildings. The construction industry is also benefiting from new logistics facilities, warehouses, and data centers.

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:  Residential construction, Commercial construction, New construction, Renovation.
Chapter 3 presents 69 company profiles of the most important insulation material manufacturers.
