The global insulation market is expected to reach USD 93.34 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising importance of energy efficient buildings owing to escalating energy costs is expected to remain a key driving factor for global insulation market.

Legislative frameworks such as new building codes by the European Union, energy efficiency improvement program by U.S. DoE, etc. are also considered to stimulate the market growth. Increasing construction spending, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, is also expected to have a positive influence on the market growth. Volatile prices of key raw materials are expected to challenge market profitability.

Foamed plastic was the leading product segment with demand share exceeding 45% in 2015. Favorable properties of the material, such as higher R-value (thermal resistance) and fire resistance are expected to propel the foamed plastic demand over the forecast period. Increasing demand from construction, as well as refrigeration industry, will have a considerable impact on the market growth. The segment is also expected to witness the highest growth of 8.9% from 2016 to 2024.
