“Growing construction and transportation industries to drive the foam insulation market”

The foam insulation market was valued at USD 17.58 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 22.39 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 4.95% from 2016 to 2021. The foam insulation market is mainly driven by the growing construction and transportation end-use industries. The growth of the construction industry is attributed to increasing population and rapid industrialization in developing countries, such as India, China, Russia, South Africa, Indonesia, and Brazil, among others. Whereas, the demand for foam insulation in the transportation industry is driven by the increasing demand for perishable food items, where foam insulation is used in refrigerated containers for the transportation of temperature-sensitive food items.

“The elastomeric segment is estimated to be the second-fastest growing product type segment, in terms of volume, from 2016 to 2021”

Elastomeric foam exhibits properties such as low thermal conductivity and high resistance to water vapor transmission, and is fire resistant in nature. Elastomeric foam is manufactured without using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which makes them environmentally friendly. The demand for elastomeric foam is increasing due to its increasing use in various applications, such as refrigeration piping, HVAC components, interior & exterior duct systems, and chillers, among others.

“Europe to lead the market during the forecast period in terms of value”

The growing demand for green energy buildings in the European region is driving the market for foam insulation in the region. The rising concern for greenhouse gas emissions and the various stringent building codes for construction of new residential and commercial buildings in the region have also led to the high demand for foam insulation in the building and construction end-use industry. Germany accounted for the largest share of the European foam insulation market, followed by France, Italy, and the U.K.

Building & construction is the largest end-use industry for foam insulation

By end-use industry, the building & construction segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the global foam insulation market in 2016, in terms of both value and volume. This end-use industry is projected to drive the foam insulation market from 2016 to 2021 due to the rising concern related to greenhouse gas emissions and the growing demand for net-zero energy buildings in countries like Germany, U.K., France, and U.S. The various building codes for new residential and commercial construction in countries such as U.S., U.K., Germany, China, Japan, and South Korea are also expected to drive the demand for foam insulation.

Polystyrene segment accounted for the largest share of the foam insulation market in 2016

By product type, the polystyrene foam segment led the global foam insulation market in 2016. This is due to the rising demand for lightweight and high R-value insulation products for applications, such as exterior insulation; concrete insulation; and roof, floor, and walls & ceiling insulation, in the building & construction industry. The demand for polystyrene foam is also fueled by its rising usage in various consumer appliances, such as refrigerators and air-conditioners.

Asia-Pacific is the biggest market for foam insulation

The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to account for the largest share of the global foam insulation market in 2016, in terms of value. Growing population and rapid industrialization in China, India, Indonesia, and Japan, accompanied by the rising demand for consumer appliances, contribute to the growth of the foam insulation market in this region. Stringent governmental regulations regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, also help drive the demand for foam insulation in this region.
