    Market Dynamics

    There are several factors behind the growth of the building thermal insulation market. Below mentions are a few-

    • Increasing construction industry – The world is currently experiencing an increase in construction activities. According to the data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, approximately 1,392,300 housing units were built in the year 2022, representing an increase of 3.8 percent compared to that of 2021. The global market for building thermal insulation is rising rapidly with the rise in the building and construction sector. To maintain the temperature of buildings, effective thermal insulation plays a vital role. Hence, the rise in the demand for the building thermal insulation market is closely linked to the increasing construction industry.
    • Rising Energy Expenditure and Costs – Significant energy usage might cost a lot of money to the consumers, and also results in depletion of natural resources. To avoid these situations, efficient thermal insulation is an ideal solution. To insulate their spaces, consumers require cost-effective and reliable building thermal insulation solutions. Building thermal insulation reduces the heat flow, resulting in reduced energy requirements. This can lead to significant energy savings. According to the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), these solutions can reduce energy consumption by up to 8 percent.
    • The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – Organisations across the globe are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the residential and industrial sectors. Since one of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities is energy consumption, energy saving becomes the utmost priority. Building thermal insulation solutions aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption.
