Critical factors positively influencing the growth of the fireproof insulation market are:

  • Globally, collective efforts to reduce carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions have bolstered the fireproof insulation market growth prospects
  • A rise in stringent laws and regulations for building construction is increasing the demand for fireproof insulation
  • Innovations by manufacturers to produce highly efficient and affordable products are strengthening market prospects
  • Government initiatives such as incentives and tax rebates to promote the installation of fireproof insulation
  • There is an emerging trend of enterprises of varying capacities, readily adopting fireproof insulation, particularly in developed nations.

Recent Market Trends:

  • Knauf acquired USG Corporation, to pool resources to expand their consumer base
  • FOAMGLAS by Owen Corning with properties such as superior compressive strength, moisture, and water resistance, was launched in the North American market
  • Vetrotech Saint-Gobain launched CONTRAFLAM Mega with a multifunctional glazing system, that is suitable for diverse applications in atriums, stair enclosures, and such.

Lack of Awareness in Developing Countries is a Key market deterrent

Lack of awareness regarding the need for fireproof insulation deters its adoption in the developing nations of Latin America and the Asia-Pacific. Though these nations are implementing new sustainability laws, there is still a lack of abidance and awareness. SMEs and developing regions are yet to become key consumers.

Superior Features Drive Demand for the Polystyrene Material Segment

Due to its superior heat and moisture resistance, the polystyrene segment is projected to be most in demand during the forecast period. The segment could account for nearly US$ 12.3 billion in market revenue by the end of the forecast period. The material is in demand due to its low thermal conductivity as well as enhanced compressive strength.

Non-Residential Application to Rise Due to Commercial Demands

An increase in commercial, as well as industrial constructions, is posed to increase the non-residential application of fireproof insulation. Currently, in the United States alone, the non-residential construction market is worth about US$ 859 billion.

Efforts to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emission Boosts North American Market

During the forecast period, the North American market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3%. Due to the rise in demand for products that are energy efficient, regional manufacturers are focused on driving sustainable innovations. To abide by newly revised stringent government regulations, the regional market is witnessing increased adoption of energy-efficient fireproof insulation.

Europe Becomes a Pioneer in Promoting Sustainability

During the forecast period, the European market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.5%, to reach a market value of US$ 15.6 billion by 2032. This is primarily due to Europe's extensive construction projects that are steadily adopting sustainable practices. This requires the adoption of innovative products in construction that are energy efficient and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Fireproof insulations are used to combat the spread of flames in case of fire disaster and helps in protecting the load bearing structure of the building, investments and human lives. The different types of material used in fireproof insulation are fiberglass, cellulose, mineral wool, polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane foam.

Among these, fiberglass material accounts for major share in terms of consumption in global fireproof insulation market. This material is made by weaving fine glass strands and has the capability to minimise heat transfer.

Fiberglass material is a cost effective insulation material as compared to other material types. Fireproof insulation is used in building and construction sector and can be further classified as residential, industrial and commercial. It is also used to enhance the safety of naval ships.

ROCKWOOL International A/S, is a UK based leading manufacturer of insulation products. The company manufactures different fireproof products and systems by brand names FIREPRO, ROCKCLOSE, ROCKWOOL etc.

Fireproof Insulation Market: Drivers and Restraints

The stringent government regulations for residential and industrial constructions to enhance the safety is the major driver for the growth of global fireproof insulation market. Industrialisation and the rising construction activities in APEJ, Latin America and MEA regions is expected propel global fireproof insulation market growth.

Fireproof insulation helps in reducing heat transfer, thus maintains the temperature levels and energy consumption in the built structure. The consumer awareness regarding controlled energy consumption and side-effects of greenhouse gas emissions is anticipated to increase the consumption of fireproof insulation.

However, there is a lack of awareness regarding the importance of fireproof insulation in construction of buildings and no stringent fire safety regulations in the emerging economies, which might hamper the growth of global fireproof insulation market during the forecast period.
