Market Dynamics
Introduction
Phase change materials are materials that can change their phase or form from solid to liquid and vice versa. These are useful in storing heat so that they can be used later when needed. When they absorb, they melt, and they again solidify when they release heat. These can be stored in different insulated buffers so that they can be used for upcoming needs.
Phase change materials can be of several types, with their advantages and disadvantages. These materials can be used in a wide number of areas such as construction, textiles, refrigeration, and many others.
Market Drivers
The major factors driving the growth of the phase change materials market are:
There is strong demand from end-use industries such as building & construction, HVAC, cold chain & packaging, thermal energy storage, refrigeration & equipment, electronics, textiles, and others.
Phase change material holds the unique feature that it can store and release a large amount of energy/heat while maintaining a constant temperature and hence is used to conserve energy, reduce operating costs, and provide temperature security.

Segment Analysis
By Type
"The inorganic PCM segment accounted for the largest market share."
The market is segmented as inorganic PCM, organic PCM, and bio-based PCM. Inorganic PCM is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. The inorganic PCM segment is driven due to its good thermal conductivity, high latent heat of fusion, non-flammability, and low cost. Inorganic PCMs are extensively used in thermal energy storage, HVAC, cold chain & packaging, and refrigeration & equipment.
By Application Type
"The building & construction segment accounted for the largest market share."
The PCM market is segmented into building & construction, HVAC, cold chain & packaging, thermal energy storage, refrigeration & equipment, electronics, textiles, and others. The building & construction segment is expected to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. The Building & Construction segment is driven due to stringent regulations towards greenhouse gas emissions and increased investment in low-carbon buildings, especially in North America and Europe.
Regional Insights
"Europe accounted for the largest market share."
Europe is expected to remain the largest market for phase change materials during the forecast period. Stringent regulation regarding the usage and handling of temperature-sensitive goods, the implementation of strict building codes, and the European Union directives to improve efficiency in buildings are the major factors that have led to the dominance of Europe in the global PCM market.
