Exterior Insulation Finish System Market Share

ID: MRFR//7338-CR | 107 Pages | Author: Varsha More| August 2022

The Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) market has witnessed dynamic growth in recent years, and companies within this industry are adopting various market share positioning strategies to stay competitive. One common strategy is product innovation as a form of differentiation. They develop insulation and finishings that are cutting edge so that they can outperform traditional options with improved products. These businesses introduce advanced materials and technologies which can attract customers looking for better performance, energy efficiency, durability among others. It helps to create some new niche by giving a leading position in the industry for those applying this approach.

Additionally, in the EIFS market, firms are prone to creating strong brand identities. The building of a reputable brand means that effective marketing is done which emphasizes on the product’s quality and reliability as well as its successful project implementations. A robust brand image will help build customer trust and loyalty thus influencing their purchase decisions. In a market with many entrants, a well-known brand remains an important asset for gaining and expanding the market share.
Apart from that also EIFS players engage in geographical diversification as part of their strategic moves. For instance, venturing into new regions or countries helps companies exploit emerging markets characterized by increased construction activities. This calls for adjusting to local regulations; preferences, standards in constructions when adopting this strategy.
However Exterior Insulation And Finish System (EIFS) are highly popular materials used across Europe building industry. That is why European heads agreed on 20% reduction of CHG emission by 2020 since 2007.This was legally binding agreement between European Union requiring at least 20% reduction of CHG emissions. The US added to reduce GHG by 17% by year 2020 then most countries started declaring emission controls for GHG adaption acts. Due to this reason the Exterior Insulation And Finish System came into demand and contributed greatly towards its expansion.
Nevertheless, these demands increase energy consumption leading to higher costs attached to it. So according to the U.S. Department of Energy researches about 40 % energy loss is attributed to air infiltration problems. Using EIFS can reduce air infiltration thus making homes energy efficient. Consequently, the Exterior Insulation And Finish System market has been experiencing a growth in its trends, which is shown by an increase of 14.2% in 2015.

Exterior Insulation & Finish System Market Trends




  • Rising demand for energy-efficient buildings is driving the market growth




Insulation is a barrier to heat loss and gain, particularly in roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors. Insulation in any building provides resistance to heat flow and lowers heating and cooling costs. Properly insulating the building reduces heating and cooling costs and improves comfort. Insulation is essential in improving residential buildings' energy efficiency, providing a cost-effective solution. It effectively regulates indoor temperatures, ensuring cooler environments in summer and warmer interiors during winter, which leads to substantial savings of up to 80% in heating and cooling losses. Additionally, insulation helps minimize condensation within homes, offering health benefits by reducing the presence of mold and dampness. These factors significantly contribute to the growth rate of the exterior insulation & finish system market CAGR.


Additionally, most greenhouse gas emissions originate from the energy used for heating, particularly in residential buildings where fossil fuel-powered gas boilers are commonly used. Unfortunately, many buildings have inadequate insulation and inefficient systems, leading to higher emissions and environmental impact. However, building insulation is crucial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating harmful effects. The increasing adoption of green building practices is expected to drive the growth of the exterior insulation and finish system market. Green buildings aim to minimize or eliminate negative impacts on the climate and environment by incorporating sustainable design, operation, and construction practices. These buildings prioritize using water, energy, and renewable resources efficiently.


Moreover, exterior insulation and finish systems generate minimal waste, which can be reused and recycled, contributing to effective environmental waste management. Thus, driving the Exterior Insulation & Finish System market revenue.
