What are Phase Change Materials?

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.

Drivers

The prime factor that is contributing to the growth of the market are-

• 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 is expected to lead the market during the forecast period.

The market is segmented as Inorganic PCM, Organic PCM, and Bio-based PCM. 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 is expected to remain the largest segment during the forecast period.

The PCM market is segmented as building & construction, HVAC, cold chain & packaging, thermal energy storage, refrigeration & equipment, electronics, textiles, and others. 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.

By Region

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, 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.
