Thermal Insulation Coating Market Size

Global Thermal Insulation Coatings Market Overview

The Thermal Insulation Coatings Market Size was valued at USD 8.94 Billion in 2023. The Thermal Insulation Coatings industry is projected to grow from USD 8.72 Billion in 2024 to USD 18.95 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Insulation (thermal) Coatings are paint-like coatings that are applied to a substrate. Acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, and yttria-stabilized zirconia are the different types of coatings. Low heat transfer, chemical resistance, inertness when exposed to outside environments, and energy savings in industrial applications are all properties of these coatings. Their primary function is to extend the life or durability of a material or other substrate. They have been used in the aviation, automotive, oil and gas, and construction industries, among others. Thermal Insulation Coatings have a wide range of applications: they can lower temperatures in both directions across a medium. That is, they can act as insulation to keep heat in.

Acrylic-based Insulation Coatings are aqueous coatings that make up the majority of the Insulation Coatings market. Acrylic-based insulation coatings are a great alternative to traditional insulation materials because of their low maintenance and ability to avoid condensation. These coatings may be applied using simple spray equipment and can withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius. Water-based acrylic insulation coatings can withstand temperatures of up to 177 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thermal Insulation Coating is expected to grow significantly over the assessment period. During the forecast period, rising construction activities around the world are expected to be a major driver for the Thermal Insulation Coating Market. The market is expected to develop due to rising automotive production and sales, as well as rising interior coatings consumption.

The Cannon Afros LIFE VICORPAN Project, which will be completed in 2024, will develop energy-efficient and recyclable vacuum-improved insulation using CORe-shaped PANels, resulting in lower energy usage for refrigerators, freezers, and cooling cabinets. The upgraded VICORPAN design can now reduce heat transmission in commercial refrigerators and freezers by up to 17% when compared to conventional PU foam insulation. Cannon Afros leads the project, which receives co-funding from the European Union's LIFE program and is carried out in close collaboration with partners BASF Polyurethanes and EPTA.

The Global Thermal Insulation Coating Market Share by End Use Industry (2016) (%):

BorgWarner has began manufacturing eMotor rotors and stators for XPeng Motors, a renowned Chinese Smart EV manufacturer. The product will be used on the X9 MPV and XPeng's future electric B-class car, with the start of manufacturing anticipated for 2024. The high voltage hairpin (HVH) 220 eMotor provides great power and torque density, as well as increased efficiency, at a competitive price. It also offers exceptional durability.

In 2023, Whirlpool Corporation launched SlimTech™ insulation, the first vacuum insulated structure (VIS) technology in a refrigerator in North America. This method marks a substantial advancement in refrigeration technology, which has traditionally depended on thick polyurethane foam for insulation. SlimTech™ insulation reduces wall thickness by up to 66%, resulting in up to 25% additional capacity inside the refrigerator.
