Insulation Global Market Flourishes Relentlessly Forecast Up To 2030

Global Insulation Market   - Overview

The global insulation 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 construciton. 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   - Competitive Analysis

The key players adopted various strategies to retain and/or expand their market share. The key strategies followed by most companies within the global building insulation material market were expansion followed by the product development. Extensive growth in building insulation material market has brought to light that companies are investing heavily in expanding its presence across borders. The increasing demand and private construction has led to investment by manufacturers to expand the market share and brand name. Thus the next strategy followed by the companies is product development. It is a key strategy adopted to expand their product portfolio and meet expanding customer base. The market is governed by favourable government regulations pushing the use of insulation in the construction to balance the energy conservation.

BASF has resorted to securing its position in Europe market remains as one of the key strategies along with its expansion plans in North America, Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

On the other hand, Owens also believe that the geographic, product and channel mix of their portfolio may continue to moderate the impact of any demand-driven variability associated with United States new construction. Furthermore increasing R&D expenses since FY2014 shows the focus of the company on the product development and innovation. It made an expenditure of USD 82 million in FY2016 as compared to USD 73 million in FY2015 in R&D.

Paroc Group has made various capital investments for the financial period 2016 in order to upgrade the capacity and expand the Polish factory that was completed in 2016. Furthermore investments were also made on new packing end equipment for Lithuanian factory.
