Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Thermal Insulation Market
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the thermal insulation market growth was primarily driven by the rising demand for buildings and construction activities. However, the market faced hurdles during the first quarter of 2020 due to business shutdown, raw material, and labor shortages, and decline in construction and transportation activities. The COVID-19 pandemic led to economic recession in the initial months of 2020, which created financial difficulties for low-income and mid-income consumers.
Moreover, due to restrictions, shutdown of many construction companies and manufacturing affected the growth of thermal insulation market. Moreover, during the pandemic, shortage of labor was a major concern for the thermal insulation industry. This led to shift towards mechanization, automation, and off-site fabrication in the thermal insulation industry.
Market Insights
Benefits of Using Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation reduces heat movements and vapor condensation. Therefore, it prevents humidity, mold, freezing, deformation that may occur in the building and weakening of iron parts due to corrosion; and helps preservation of the building. Moreover, in various industries, huge energy saving benefits can be obtained with decreased thermal conductivity in the lining construction through the utilization of products such as BTU-BLOCK insulation.
Based on material type, the global market is categorized into fiber glass, plastic foam, stone wool, calcium silicate, cellular glass, and others. In 2021, the fiber glass segment accounted for the largest revenue share and plastic foam is expected to account for the highest growth rate over the forecast period. By industry vertical, the global market is segmented into building and construction, oil and gas, chemical, aerospace and defense, automotive, pharmaceutical, and others. The building and cocntruction segment accounted for the largest revenue share.
BASF SE, Bayer AG, ROCKWOOL A/S, Johns Manville, SAINT GOBAIN S.A, Kingspan Group PLC, Dow Chemicals Company, Owens Corning, Asahi Kasei Corporation, and DuPont are a few of the key players operating in the thermal insulation market. These companies provide a wide range of product portfolios for the market. The companies have their presence in developing regions, providing lucrative market opportunities.
