Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Vacuum Insulation Panels Market,' The vacuum insulation panels market was valued at $8.1 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $12.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2032.Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are high-performance thermal insulation materials that minimize heat transfer and improve energy efficiency in various applications. They consist of a rigid core material enclosed in a gas-tight envelope, creating a vacuum that reduces heat transfer. VIPs offer excellent thermal resistance, enabling thinner insulation layers and superior insulation performance. The market is growing due to increasing demand for energy-efficient building materials and sustainable construction practices.
The expansion of the construction and consumer durables industries are significantly propelling the global vacuum insulation panels market. Manufacturers are looking for advanced techniques to make vacuum insulation panels more effective as new technologies emerge. Vacuum-insulated panels are specially designed panels that use a vacuum's insulation in a board shape. They are a highly insulating material that has been used in many appliances, including refrigerators and freezers, as well as in the transportation industry. It is also a viable option for high-temperature applications like domestic ovens, furnaces, hot water tanks, and concentrated solar plants, especially when combined with heat-resistant glass-fiber core panels. Thermal insulation of household appliances, such as pipe insulation, thermal storage tank insulation, underfloor heating insulation, and refrigerators can utilize vacuum insulation panels. The significant reduction in required thickness is a major driving factor for market growth.
To fuel the demand for vacuum insulation panels, homeowners in the U.S. have focused on renovation activities such as ceiling, and underfloor heating systems, and interior remodeling. Rapid growth in the construction industry due to residential building renovations and rapid climatic changes in developed countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Rome, Italy, and Spain also boosts demand for vacuum insulation panels. The Asia-Pacific construction sector is the largest in the world and is growing at a healthy rate, owing to rising population, rising middle-class income, and urbanization. Vacuum-insulated panels are widely used in various industrial applications; however, their use in construction projects remains limited.
The main factors impeding market development are the relatively high cost when compared to conventional insulation materials; their high susceptibility to mechanical damage, as puncturing the VIPs envelope causes an increase in thermal conductivity; and decreases their durability and consequent performance over their entire lifespan. Despite all of the factors mentioned above that impede market development, VIPs represent a technological advancement in thermal insulation for building applications. They are very promising when high insulation with very low thickness is required; thermal conductivities up to ten times lower than traditional thermal insulation materials will be especially important when attempting to meet the standard and requirements of nearly zero-energy buildings. The presence of these promising VIP product attributes will provide lucrative opportunities.
