The global building insulation market in 2021 was valued at US$28.38 billion and is likely to reach US$33.00 billion by 2026. Building insulation serves in keeping heated interior spaces warmer in the winter and air-conditioned spaces cooler in the summer. Reducing thermal energy transfer not only makes places more pleasant, but it is also critical for regulating energy expenses. Building insulation refers to any material in a building that is used as insulation for thermal management. Globally, the building insulation industry is growing, owing to the emergent inclination on green building concept.
At the moment, the existing infrastructure are found to have intense potential to incorporate smart and green features in their infrastructure, thereby the demand for building insulation has been increasing. The building insulation has been gaining its popularity predominantly due to surge in green activities and renovation activities for old buildings especially in Europe. The building insulation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.06% during the forecast period of 2022-2026.
