Vacuum Insulation Panel Market Information by Material (Silica, Fiberglass and others), by Type (Flat and Special Shape), by End-use (Construction, Home Appliances, Logistics, and others) and by Region - Forecast to 2030

Vacuum Insulation Panel Market Overview

Vacuum Insulation Panel Market is projected to be worth USD 11,600 by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.70% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030).

Vacuum insulation panels are porous in nature. They’re also flat. These panels are strong and durable because they have to keep whatever they’re preserving in a vacuum. Vacuum insulated panels have to deflect both strong atmospheric pressures that are external and the internal balance of gas in their envelopes.

COVID-19 analysis

COVID-19 is a new virus that confounded the masses, public officials, and health researchers last year. Most people who got it recovered just fine. The issue is that this novel virus caused a few deaths and more than a few hospitalizations. What made matters worse was the fact that people who recovered could catch it again a few months later. Some people who recovered suffered from acute and lifelong health issues and problems because of COVID-19.

Governments realized that this virus was not to be taken lightly. They ordered quarantines and lockdowns last year. These were temporary since they did not really work. The long-term effect that it had on most businesses around the world was far from temporary though. Most businesses worldwide were forced to either stop operations altogether, at least temporarily, or dramatically slow production down. Some businesses had to shut down because they couldn’t remain profitable.

The companies in the vacuum insulation panel industry were no exception. The reason for this is that construction activities halted dramatically around the world because of national lockdowns and quarantines. Global construction activity is only now starting to pick up to pre-pandemic levels.

Competitive landscape

The global vacuum insulation panels market is highly competitive. It’s also fragmented. What makes it this way is the fact that the industry in general has a high CAGR. The market is also very lucrative. Therefore, there are more and more companies that want to enter the industry every year. It’s especially the case with larger companies that have larger treasuries and hence more financial resources to overcome the barriers to entry which are not significant.

Companies are resorting to a few measures to remain competitive. They are investing more intensively in research and development. Thus, many of the companies that are successful in this regard are able to develop and market the products that will allow them to develop a sustainable competitive advantage.

Mergers and acquisitions and entering into strategic partnerships also help companies develop the sustainable competitive advantage that they need to remain competitive and financially viable.

Kingspan Insulation LLC is a major American player in the global vacuum insulation panels market. It gained this superior position by investing heavily in research and development. Thus, it was able to develop and market those products that would allow it to charge the end consumer more and create a sustainable competitive advantage.

Segment overview

By material

The vacuum insulation panel market can be grouped into the following sub-segments based on material:

• Silica


• Fiberglass


• Other

The silica panels sub-segment had the greatest market share during the time period that this report covers. The main reason why developers and contractors prefer to use this material is because of its durability which makes it last for over six decades.

By type

The vacuum insulation panel market can be grouped into the following sub-segments based on type:

• Flat


• Special shape

Flat panels had the greatest vacuum insulation panel market share. The reason for this was that they are compact and do a good job of keeping whatever materials they contain warm. These panels have many applications and they’re primarily used in refrigerators, air conditioners, all types of heaters, and in constructing new buildings.

By end-user

The vacuum insulation panel market can be grouped into the following sub-segments based on end-user:

• Construction


• Home Appliances


• Logistics


• Other

The construction sub-segment is projected to have the largest vacuum insulation panel market share for the time period that this report covers. The reason is that many governments are spending heavily on new and existing infrastructure projects. It’s especially true in some developing nations like India and China.

By region

The vacuum insulation panel market can be grouped into the following sub-segments based on region:

• North America
