It will grow from $91.42 billion in 2023 to $99.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including a surge in population, a low-interest-rate environment, a growing demand for energy-efficient buildings, and an escalating focus on sustainability.

The exterior insulation and finish system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $144.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to stringent regulations aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, an upswing in investment for infrastructure development, rapid industrialization, and a rise in construction projects. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the development of solar façade systems, a surge in acquisition and partnership activities, the adoption of AI technologies, the emergence of media/digital façades, innovations in product offerings, advancements in EIFS cladding systems, and the introduction of new construction methods.

The exterior insulation and finish system market is anticipated to experience significant growth due to the increasing adoption of green building protocols. Green buildings aim to mitigate or eliminate adverse impacts on the environment and climate, promoting positive effects through design, operation, or construction. These buildings prioritize efficient use of water, energy, and renewable resources. Exterior insulation and finish systems contribute to environmental waste management by producing minimal waste that is both reusable and recyclable. According to the World Green Building Council, the global green building market has the potential to reduce energy consumption by 50% or more by 2050. This underscores the impact of green building protocols on driving the exterior insulation and finish system market.

The demand for exterior insulation and finish systems is expected to rise in tandem with the surge in construction projects. Government spending and focus on residential and non-residential accommodations have increased, propelling the demand for these systems. Notably, the Asian Development Bank approved a $250-million loan for the National Industrial Corridor Development Program, part of a $500-million loan for building 11 industrial corridors across 17 states. In India, the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry allocated INR 2,600 million ($339.82 million) for non-residential office buildings under the Central Vista project in Budget 2022-23. The government's significant investments in infrastructure development, including the National Infrastructure Pipeline and housing-for-all program, are expected to drive the demand for exterior insulation and finish systems through increased construction activity.

A notable trend in the exterior insulation and finish system market is the emphasis on product innovations. For example, DuPont introduced DuPont Thermax NH Insulation, featuring an innovative glass fiber-reinforced foam core and high R-value. This product is designed for use as an interior finish system for walls and ceilings, as well as outside continuous insulation. Its unique attributes include the ability to be left exposed on interior walls and ceilings without a thermal barrier, along with consistent, high-performance R-value at both 75 °F and 40 °F (UL 1715). The product is Zero ODP, HFC-free, and low VOC.

The exterior insulation and finish system market is witnessing a notable surge in the popularity of increasing acquisitions and partnerships. The growing trend of acquiring companies and the adoption of exterior insulation and finish system technology are significant factors driving market demand. In an undisclosed deal in June 2022, Owens Corning, a US-based company specializing in insulation, roofing, fiberglass composites, and related materials, acquired WearDeck. This strategic move allows Owens Corning to leverage WearDeck solutions and redirect its Composites division's focus toward high-value material solutions for the building and construction industry. It aligns with Owens Corning's growth objectives, aiming to establish itself as a US-based company offering weatherproof, waterproof, and heat-reflective boards.

In July 2022, Holcim, a Switzerland-based building materials company, revealed its acquisition of Cantillana for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition provides Holcim with access to Cantillana's extensive expertise in façade construction systems and external thermal insulation composite systems. The incorporation of Cantillana's capabilities is expected to enhance Holcim's standing in building renovation and energy efficiency solutions. Cantillana, a provider of exterior insulation and finish systems, contributes to Holcim's strategic positioning in the market.

Two primary categories of exterior insulation and finish systems are polymer-based and polymer-modified. The materials utilized in these systems encompass mineral wool, expanded polystyrene, and other options. Mineral wool, derived from heating silica or stone to a high temperature until it becomes molten, is an inorganic non-metallic product. The molten stone or glass is spun and shaped into a fibrous and flexible mat, constituting mineral wool. This material possesses commendable thermal insulation, fire safety, and soundproofing attributes. Key components of exterior insulation and finish systems consist of adhesive, insulation board, base coat, reinforcement, and finish coat. These systems find predominant use in both residential and non-residential applications.
