Drywall and Insulation Contractors Global Market Report 2024

The drywall and insulation contractors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $516.2 billion in 2023 to $565.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including a boom in construction and real estate, trends in the housing market, a focus on energy efficiency and building codes, increased activities in renovation and remodeling, as well as population growth and urbanization. These elements collectively contributed to the expansion and development of the construction and real estate sectors.

The drywall and insulation contractors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $828.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of sustainable construction practices, government incentives promoting energy efficiency, the emphasis on green building certifications, initiatives for affordable housing, and the increasing adoption of smart home technologies. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the use of digital tools for design and planning, the demand for fire-resistant insulation, the rising popularity of drywall finishes, the implementation of weather-resistant insulation systems, and the challenges associated with skilled labor shortages, driving a need for workforce training.

The rise in the number of residential constructions is poised to drive the growth of the drywall and insulation contractors market. Residential construction involves erecting new spaces or renovating existing ones, such as buildings, apartments, and dwellings intended for personal occupancy. Drywall and insulation contractors undertake tasks such as drywall installation, plastering, and insulation to significantly reduce drafts, particularly during colder and windier months. These measures help maintain a consistent indoor temperature by providing an additional layer of insulation. For instance, in 2022, as per ToolSense, an Austria-based software company specializing in construction-related sectors, the number of housing units built in 2021 increased by 4% to reach 1,337,800 compared to the previous year. Moreover, residential building volume witnessed a staggering 275% surge between March and July 2020. Hence, the growing number of residential constructions propels the growth of the drywall and insulation contractors market.

The upward trajectory in construction spending is anticipated to drive the expansion of the drywall and insulation contractors market. Construction spending serves as an economic gauge measuring the total expenditure on construction activities within a specific period, usually monthly or annually. Elevated construction spending typically signifies increased construction endeavors, encompassing both residential and non-residential projects, consequently leading to heightened demand for drywall and insulation services. For instance, in January 2023, data from the US Census Bureau indicated a 9.3% surge in US construction spending, rising from $1,487.2 billion in November 2020 to $1,625.9 billion in November 2021. Hence, the escalating construction spending contributes to the growth of the drywall and insulation contractors’ market.

Technological advancements emerge as prominent trends fueling the drywall and insulation contractors’ market. Major companies within this sector are emphasizing technologically advanced products to maintain their competitive standing. For example, in January 2022, Canvas, a US-based construction robotics startup, introduced a drywall finishing robot designed to enhance safety and productivity in drywall finishing, addressing the growing scarcity of skilled labor. The Canvas system automates two of the most challenging aspects of drywall finishing - mudding and sanding. By expediting project completion while ensuring consistently high-quality finishes, these innovations aim to revolutionize the drywall finishing process.

Leading companies within the drywall and insulation contractors’ market are dedicated to innovating new products, such as spray polyurethane foam (SPF), to gain a competitive edge in the industry. SPF is a type of insulation applied as a liquid that expands to fill voids or seal gaps, offering highly efficient insulation that aids in reducing energy expenses and enhancing comfort. For example, in September 2023, Firestable Insulation Company, a US-based provider specializing in spray foam technology, introduced Stablebase 2.0 Max R. This next-generation hydrofluoroolefins (HFO) blown, closed-cell polyurethane foam solution is spray-applied, boasting zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than two. With an impressive high 7.5 R-value and improved thermal performance, Stablebase 2.0 caters to both residential and commercial settings, delivering energy savings on operational expenses.

In March 2023, Installed Building Products Inc. (IBP), a US-based installer of insulation and complementary building products, completed the acquisition of Anchor Insulation Co. Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition significantly expanded IBP's market presence, particularly across the northeastern United States, catering to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Anchor Insulation, a US-based insulation contractor, specializes in providing mechanical and industrial insulation solutions to clients across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Through this acquisition, IBP strengthened its portfolio and service capabilities in serving a diverse clientele in the insulation market.
