World Insulation Market

Demand to rise more than 5% annually through 2016
Global insulation consumption is forecast to rise more than five
percent annually to approximately 29 billion square meters of R-1
value in 2016, a substantial acceleration from the 2006-2011 rate.
In developing countries, insulation demand is expected to expand at
a healthy pace due to rising building construction and industrial
activity as well as growing per capita incomes that will lead to
the adoption of modern building techniques and materials, including
insulation. In most developed countries, insulation sales are
expected to rebound after falling in 2008 and 2009 due to housing
market collapses in several countries. In addition, governments
will adopt new regulations concerning building insulation in an
effort to reduce energy consumption, further boosting demand.
Building construction to be primary driver of demand
Solid residential building construction expenditure gains will
be the primary driver of demand. In North
America alone, insulation sales for residential applications
will rise approximately nine percent annually between 2011 and
2016, primarily due to a recovery of the housing market in the US.
In Western Europe, a rebound in
several countries' housing markets will cause insulation demand to
post moderate gains through 2016, as opposed to the decline of the
2006-2011 period. In many West European countries, government
efforts to encourage insulation use in order to lower energy
consumption will also contribute to demand. In developing countries
in the Asia/Pacific region,
Africa/Mideast region, and Central
and South America, rural-to-urban
migration will stimulate building activity in urban areas, and
therefore insulation demand. In some countries, the adoption of
minimum insulation requirements will also contribute to demand.
Demand for insulation in the industrial, HVAC, and OEM markets will
be driven by expanding manufacturing activity, appliance output,
and HVAC system installations.
Asia/Pacific region to be
fastest growing market
The fastest growth in insulation demand through 2016 is forecast
in the Asia/ Pacific region, due
to advances in building construction activity as well as
manufacturing and industrial output. More than 65 percent of new
demand generated between 2011 and 2016 will be attributed to this
region. Several Asia/ Pacific
countries are expected to post solid growth, including China, India,
Indonesia, and Thailand.
Foamed plastic insulation to lead value gains
In value terms, worldwide insulation consumption is projected to
advance roughly seven percent per annum through 2016, approaching
$60 billion. The fastest growth is
expected in the foamed plastic insulation segment, as these
products will be used more frequently in construction applications
because of their high insulation values, allowing them to capture
market share from fiberglass and mineral wool insulation. Foamed
plastic insulation is also used extensively in refrigerator and
freezer manufacture, further boosting demand. Demand for fiberglass
insulation will benefit from the rebounding residential
construction market in North
America, as the material is widely used in the US and
Canada. Other insulation
materials, such as cellulose, will also see strong gains, as
environmentally friendly options continue to gain popularity.
Study coverage
This upcoming industry study presents historical demand data
(2001, 2006, 2011) and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by material,
world region and for 37 major countries. The study also considers
market environment factors, evaluates company market share, and
profiles industry competitors.
