Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are thermal compounds that absorb and release thermal energy during phase transitions between solid and liquid. This allows effective thermal storage and temperature regulation. A wide range of PCMs have been developed including organic (paraffins and fatty acids), inorganics (salt hydrates and metallic) and eutectic mixtures of organic and/or inorganic materials. PCM products are used to improve whole-building energy efficiency in retail, commercial, hospitality, and industrial applications; enable safe transport of sensitive food and pharmaceutical products; and provide enhanced thermal storage capabilities for industrial and commercial processes, among other applications.?

The Global Market for Phase Change Materials 2024-2034 provides a comprehensive analysis of the global phase change materials (PCMs) market. The report covers PCM types including paraffins, fatty acids, salt hydrates, eutectics, and metallics. Applications in buildings, cold chain, electronics cooling, textiles, aerospace, automotive, and energy storage are assessed.
