Global Insulation
Market - Overview
The global insulation material market is expected to witness
moderate growth over the forecast period. The growth of building insulation
material market is influenced by increased consumption in Asia, increasing FDI
in construction, supportive government regulations on building insulations, and
supportive government regulations & initiatives to promote construction.
Fluctuation in raw material prices and unavailability of skilled labor hinder
the growth of the market.
The rise in FDI inflows was more prominent in developed economies,
which received USD 962 billion in 2015, i.e. 84% more than in 2014. The
Asia-Pacific region continued to receive a significant amount of FDI inflows,
totaling USD 559 billion in 2015, an increase of 5.6% over 2014 level. The FDI
inflows in construction in Asia-pacific region has led to increased
construction projects and real-estate development. This would induce the demand
for insulation in the construction scto in Asia Pacific region.
There are various organizations and departments across the globe
that govern the application of insulation in the construction. This induces the
market of building insulation material on a global level. In the U.S., bodies
such as The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise
Residential Buildings provides minimum requirements for the energy-efficient
design of commercial and high-rise residential buildings. ASHRAE 90.12 is a
consensus standard that provides minimum requirements for the design of
energy-efficient buildings. Such regulations has spiked the demand for building
insulation material across the globe.
Insulation acts as a barrier to heat loss and heat gain,
particularly in roofs, ceilings, walls and floors. Insulation in any building
provides resistance to heat flow and lowers the heating and cooling costs. In
addition, insulation may reduce condensation in the home. This can provide
health benefits by reducing mould and damp. This would drive the market for
insulation.

Global Insulation Market - Regional Analysis
North America is the second largest region for the building insulation material market. The North America building insulation material market is driven by various factors such as consumer preference for green buildings and sustained investments in commercial real estate. In North America, U.S. is the largest market for the modular construction. It accounted for the largest market share in 2016. In the past few years, the annual value of construction in U.S. had been increasing continuously. Strong development in commercial and residential structures in the U.S., is projected to fuel the demand for insulation in the construction market in the region.
