High Temperature Insulation Market Global Information by Product (Insulating Firebrick, Ceramic Fiber, Calcium Silicate and others), by Application (Petrochemicals, Glass, Aluminum, Iron & Steel, Cement, Refractory and others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa) - Forecast till 2030

High Temperature Insulation Market Overview

The high temperature insulation market was valued over USD 4.6 billion in 2030 and expected to register a CAGR of 8.50% during the forecast period. High temperature insulation is used in building and manufacturing equipment’s to prevent heat gain. The products are designed to enhance the energy efficiency and increase the performance of ventilating, heating, and power systems installed in commercial and industrial sectors. Growth in the industrial sector is increasing the application of high temperature insulation in equipment and factories positively impacting the market. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), reported that in 2000 manufacturing output was valued at USD 7,535.0 billion, which reached USD 12,316 billion by 2016. In addition, industrialized economies accounted for manufacturing output worth USD 6,822.0 billion in 2016, and emerging industrial economies valued at USD 4,926.0 billion.

High temperature insulation products are significantly used for thermal management in critical high temperature environments. It improves the efficiency of processes by reducing operating cost, emission, and energy consumption in the petrochemical industry. High temperature insulation works excellently on equipment working under toughest environment of oil & gas which is surging the application of high temperature insulation products in upstream, downstream, and midstream processes thus providing excellent thermal managing system. The growth of the oil and gas industry is mainly driven by an increase in demand for energy in India and China on account of the expansion of various industries. According to Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), oil and gas collectively are expected to continue to cater to more than half of the global energy needs by 2040, which is expected to propel the growth of high temperature insulation products market during the assessment period.

Moreover, the increasing use of petroleum products is expected to surge the number of oil & gas exploration activities, and consequently boost the demand for high temperature insulation products in the petrochemical industry. According to the US Department of Energy, the global consumption of petroleum was around 93 million barrels per day in 2015. The petroleum consumption in the US was around 1.96 million barrels per day by the end of 2017. Furthermore, the total revenue generated from the Canadian oil & gas extraction was USD 118.5 billion in 2017, as reported by the Government of Canada. High dependency on petrochemical products is expected to boost the high temperature insulation market growth.
