[Research Report] The air barrier market size was valued at US$ 15,924.68 million in 2022; It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2028.

Air barrier is a material that is used to control airflow in building enclosures. These systems completely enclose the air within a building. The physical properties that distinguish air barriers from other materials are the ability to resist air flow and pressure. Air barriers can be located anywhere in the building enclosure at the exterior surface, interior surface, or at any location in between. Interior air barriers in heating climates help control the exfiltration of the interior, whereas exterior air barriers control the infiltration of exterior air and prevent wind-washing through insulation.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Air Barrier Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the air barrier market across the globe was mainly driven by their increasing use in residential, commercial, and industrial construction sectors. However, in 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions in key raw materials and hampered manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented impacts on the construction industry, negatively impacting the air barrier market growth. Moreover, material required in the construction industry has seen price inflation due to supply chain disruption, increased labor costs, and high demand.

However, the market is reviving on account of significant measures taken by the governments of various countries. The construction industry is also overcoming the challenges of supply chain disruptions of their raw materials. The resumption of construction activities globally has created a demand for air barriers.

Various Advantages of Using Air Barriers

Air barrier systems help prevent the loss of conditioned air. They also help keep out pollutants such as suspended particulates, dust, allergens, insects, odors, and noise. Mold commonly occurs in buildings where moist air accumulates on vulnerable wall components, including insulation, exterior sheathing, or interior wall boards. This may adversely impact indoor air quality and occupant health. Moreover, air barriers help in energy savings. Energy savings can translate into significant cost savings. Further, air barriers can increase the value of commercial buildings by reducing operating costs. Hence, various advantages of using air barriers translate into higher adoption in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, thereby driving its market.

Category Insights

Based on category, the air barrier market is segmented into coating and membrane. The coating segment held a larger share of the air barrier market in 2021. The air barrier coating is sprayed or rolled onto the wall substrate. It helps save labor costs during installation. The air barriers are easily used for complex substrate geometry. They are efficient at adhering to and waterproofing various wall conditions.
