The global industrial insulation market size is expected to reach USD 9.76 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.1%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing usage of thermal insulation for industrial equipment to improve energy efficiency is expected to drive the growth.
The raw materials used to manufacture various industrial insulation products such as glass and stone wool are available in abundance. However, the price of insulation raw materials derived from petrochemicals is subject to a notable change as the crude oil prices fluctuate. This results in an increase in the supplier bargaining power.
The market is under high scrutiny from government environmental agencies including the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). These agencies have imposed stringent regulations on the materials used for manufacturing these products. Government support to develop sustainable manufacturing practices is expected to propel technological advances aimed at production of eco-friendly products.
The industrial insulation market exhibits high entry barriers, owing to the presence of a large number of players. In addition, capital intensive nature of the market ensures the requirement of substantial amount of time, planning, and resources for market entry and sustenance. High production volumes realized by the major players has resulted in economies of scale which may discourage new entrants.
