The global high-temperature insulation market size is expected to reach USD 7.5 billion by 2025 registering a CAGR of 7.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising preference for high-temperature insulation, owing to its environmental benefits to reducing greenhouse gas emission is expected to drive the market growth. The market exhibits low threat of backward integration from buyers. Buyers are looking for low-cost solutions, tailored to specific requirements along with technical support. However, durability is a critical criteria for buyers.
Increasing R&D expenditure by major companies is expected to have positive impact on product enhancement and differentiation strategies, and has led to rise in number of patents for high insulation products. Market participants are focused on developing novel materials for higher thermal resistance, and lower operational costs. Growing demand for ceramic fiber lining technology mainly from steel industry, owing to their usage for wide range of operating temperatures is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
In addition, focus on development of products with higher energy-efficiency, process control, and cost-effectiveness is also presumed to benefit the market growth. The industry is fairly consolidated with top four participants accounting for more than 45% of the high-temperature insulation market share. However, the market is fragmented in emerging economies due to high level of competition from local companies. Furthermore, the dynamic regulatory scenario is expected to intensify the competition with an increase in mergers & acquisitions.
