SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The global industrial insulation market is segmented on the basis of raw material, product, and end user. Based on raw material, the industrial insulation market is segmented as wool, foams, and fibers and others. On the basis of product, the market is classified as, pipe, board, blanket, and others. The industrial insulation market is categorized on the basis of end user into, power generation, chemical and petrochemical, cement, food and beverage, and others. Based on raw material, the foams raw material accounted for a significant share. Wool insulation in the form of fiberglass is made by heating glass at high temperatures until it melts, and the molten glass is twisted quickly to create fibers. Glass wool fibers are then bound together to be used as insulation. Glass fibers create air pockets that act as barriers to heat loss as the air is a poor conductor of heat. Foam insulations are polymeric products widely used for various proofing and insulation end users, including thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and weatherproofing. Fibers include natural and synthetic or plastic fibers. Ceramic fibers and recycled plastic bottles—composed of PET—are primarily used products for industrial insulation end users, and the fibers formed are pressed into batt insulation. Based on product, pipe segment accounted for a major share. Fiberglass is extensively used to insulate iron, copper, and PVC pipes in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings due to its lower cost and easy installation. Industrial Insulation boards are commonly used to insulate cavity walls. Blanket insulation products are mostly used in high-temperature set-ups, with operating temperatures up to 1150°C. Typical end users of blanket insulation include heat exchangers, stack installations, cooling towers, air conditioning ductwork, large diameter piping, and storage tanks. Other products include spray foam insulation and insulating concrete. Spray foam insulation is an air barrier and insulation material that seals floors, walls, and ceiling cavities against air movement. Power generation is the major market for industrial insulation. Proper equipment insulation helps with the maintenance of power plants that reduces the risk of injury or burns to workers. Chemical processing needs stable temperatures to keep production quality consistent and reliable. The growth in the chemical & petrochemical industry is projected to fuel the demand for industrial insulation products. Cement manufacturing is a continuous process industry that requires advanced thermal solutions to optimize its output. The others segment is further segmented into automotive, aerospace, glass production, etc. Industrial Insulation solutions are used to help protect vehicle components and their electrical wiring.
