Exterior Insulation and Finish System Market Overview

Exterior Insulation and Finish System market value were $55.41 billion in 2018, and the market is expected to register a CAGR of 12.34% in the market forecast period. 

Exterior Insulation and Finish System or EIFS are applicable for any construction. The major benefit of EIFS is it can offer protection in all weather conditions by offering thermal insulation inside the construction. It is wall cladding that allows insulation on the upper layer of a wall. EIFS has an organic polymer layer that comes with glass mesh that gives great strength. It allows the architecture to give any desired shape and allow them to show aesthetic. It protects the exterior wall by covering it with a protective layer for insulation and weather protection in any color, shape, or design. 

EFIS is great for both new applications as well as recladding applications. It provides economic and energy-efficient wall covering. EIFS originated in Germany after the Second World War as the building and houses were damaged. Then in late 1960, EIFS came to the US, and now it is a major part of construction in various locations. The best thing about EIFS is it makes the building energy-efficient. Even though EIFS costs more initially but it gives high ROI over time. It can save up to 20% to 30% on energy bills annually. 

EIFS can be molded to create different shapes such as columns, sculptures, window details, and arches. The cost of EIFS is less than the traditional insulation materials. EIFS is applied on the outside, doesn't encroach upon the interior, and can be used in extremely cold and hot places. Due to various advantages of EIFS, it is gaining huge demand and popularity worldwide, and it is boosting the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market growth. 

Covid-19 analysis

Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus worldwide, the governments are taking many preventive measures to reduce the spread. The world economy is going down, and many business sectors are struggling financially. Further, the imposition of lockdown and social distancing guidelines has affected the market. The construction sector was going through a tough time due to this. All the construction activities were on a halt due to lockdown. The laborers traveled back to their homes for their safety. So shortage of laborers was another problem for the construction sector. Various factors played a role in hampering the construction sectors during the covid-19 pandemic. Due to this, Exterior Insulation and Finish System market growth were down. The key players tried their best to boost the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market trends and stabilize the market. It is expected that the market will grow again after the covid-19 pandemic.

Market dynamics

• Drivers in the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market

The Exterior Insulation and Finish System are highly popular in the European construction sector. Because in 2007, the European heads agreed to reduce the emission of CHG by 20% in 2020. This was a legal contract and a requirement for the European Union to reduce the CHG emission by 20%. The US also declared to reduce the spread of CHG emission by 17% in the year 2020, and most of the countries then declared to control CHG emission, and it became a trend. Due to this, the use became popular and propelled the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market size. 

Apart from that, in the developed regions, many middle-class consumers want to have better cooling and heating systems in their homes. But this demand can increase energy consumption and increase the related cost. But according to the research of the US Department of Energy, the air infiltration problem causes 40% energy loss. But the use of EIFS can reduce air infiltration hence make homes more energy efficient. Due to this, the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market trends are increasing rapidly.

• Opportunities for Exterior Insulation and Finish System market

Various policies and regulation has generated various opportunities for the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market. EU, Asia-Pacific, and the US have implemented many policies that are reducing CHG emissions. All these new policies have helped the thermal insulation market to grow. All the regions are focusing on using energy-efficient insulation technologies. As a result, it will bring opportunities for the Exterior Insulation and Finish System Industry and boost its market size. 

• Restraints in the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market

The availability of green insulation material is a big restraint for the market. In the EIFS market, stone glass, plastic foam, glass wool, and other materials are used. The green insulation material is used as an alternative for EIFS, and it is also environmentally friendly. As a result, it is hampering the Exterior Insulation and Finish System trends. 

• Challenges in the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market

The installation of the Exterior Insulation and Finish System is a huge challenge for inexperienced laborers. Lack of skilled laborers for installing EIFS has become a major challenge for the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market. If the workers are not familiar with the application, it can ruin the quality, leading to holes, leaks, and crack in EIFS. Apart from that, the professionals' lack of awareness of EIFS is another challenge for the Exterior Insulation and Finish System market.
