Global insulation materials industry is poised for growth due to the rising demand of efficient insulation in both residential sector on account of the increase in energy costs and tightening governmental policies. The importance of energy conservation is also expected to drive the insulation market. Over the last few years, various government initiatives have been put in to place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus promote energy efficiency, thereby, boosting the insulation market. Additionally, efficient materials are also being used to provide sound and vibration insulation.
This research service titled, “Advanced Insulation Materials Technologies for Building & Construction (TechVision)”, focuses on providing an overview of the existing and emerging insulating materials technologies highlighting the key characteristics and innovations in each material. The research also captures the regional current and future trends of the insulating materials, research focus areas and the key players across segments. It also includes patent trends, funding scenario and the mergers and acquisitions happening in this segment. The research also includes a criteria based benchmarking to understand the insulation material of choice across segments.
