Published Date: 03/05/2021

The technical insulation market size is projected to grow from USD 7.6 billion in 2020 to USD 9.2 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.0 %, during the forecast period.The presence of stringent regulations regarding insulation of equipment and pipes and growing demand in the oil & gas sector are driving the technical insulation market. Increasing energy and power requirements in emerging economies owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization has driven the growth of the technical insulation market. Along with this stated factor, stringent regulations mandating the use of insulation materials for energy conservation has also led to the growth of the global technical insulation market. However, the low awareness about technical insulation is a factor restraining the growth of the technical insulation market. increased infrastructure spending in emerging economies is anticipated to offer growth opportunities in the global technical insulation market.

Expansion of the commercial sector is projected to promote the demand for technical insulation of pipes and equipment which is anticipated to benefit market growth. In addition, demand for acoustic insulation in the commercial buildings is projected to further propel growth of the market for technical insulation over the forecast period.

However, volatile raw material prices are projected to have a negative impact on market growth. In addition, low awareness about the benefits of technical insulation is anticipated to restrict industry growth over the forecast period. Moreover, lack of skilled labour for the installation is estimated to limit growth of the market for technical insulation.

Increased infrastructural spending in developing economies such as China, India, Indonesia, and South Korea is estimated to promote market growth over the forecast period. In addition, rapid industrialization across the globe is projected to further fuel the growth of the industry over the forecast period.
