Volatile raw material prices and inconsistent supply may restrict the building insulation material market growth.
Demand for energy efficiency in construction and government regulations on building insulation are boosting market growth.
The global building insulation material market is set to grow from USD 24,102 million in 2016 to USD 30,446.3 Mn in 2023. This projects that the market will expand at a modest rate during the forecast period. Growth of the construction sector in emerging economies is creating growth opportunities for suppliers and manufacturers of building insulation materials. Market players are expanding their operations in countries such as China and India, as the construction sectors in these countries are witnessing a boom.
Modern buildings and housing infrastructures are far more pragmatic in design as compared to their predecessors. Various aspects are considered during their construction to create the best possible living conditions for the occupants. Greater emphasis is laid on aspects such as room ventilation, temperature, airflow, and insulation for buildings.
The global building insulation material market has been segmented based on material, application, end-user, and region. On the basis of material, glass wool accounted for the largest market share in 2016. This segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR to cross a market share of USD10 billion, by 2023. Some of the factors driving the market are the government initiatives to promote and develop their construction sectors, the rise in FDI in developing countries, and the increased purchasing power of the end-use industries.
