The study presents an assessment of the current status and future prospects of the global thermal insulation market. It takes into account the revenues generated from the global thermal insulation material sales from 2011 to 2021. Revenue is recorded at the manufacturer level. The study covers 6 main types of insulation materials – PUR, PIR, EPS, XPS, stone wool, and glass wool. The end user scope includes residential buildings (single-family housing, multi-family housing, and high-rise) and non-residential buildings (commercial buildings, institutional buildings, and industrial buildings). HVAC systems and technical insulation are not considered within scope. The base year is 2014, with forecasts up to 2021.
