The market is mainly influenced by the strict energy efficiency laws, the fast expansion of the housing and commercial construction industries, the increasing need for thermal and sound insulation, and the growing attention to the problem of carbon emissions. The technology is making significant progress with the novel closed-cell foam structures, the upgrading of the performance of rigid foams, the improvement of the fire-retardant formulations, and the hunt for the low-GWP and recyclable insulation materials. These are the major factors that are positively influencing the use of such materials in buildings, cold storage, and industrial applications.

By product type, the polystyrene foam is projected to be the largest segment of the foamed plastic insulation market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The polystyrene segment is projected to be the largest segment of the foamed plastic insulation market in terms of value during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its perfect combination of cost, performance, and versatility. EPS and XPS provide excellent thermal insulation, are moisture resistant, and have stable dimensions for a long time; therefore, these materials are the most often used in building envelopes, roofs, walls, and foundation insulation. Also, polystyrene insulation is light and quick to install; hence, it cuts the costs of labor and transportation significantly and is suitable for large-scale residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. It is also compatible with prefabricated and modular construction, which further increases demand.

By application, the building & construction segment is projected to be the largest market for foamed plastic insulation, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The building & construction segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the high and continuous demand for energy-efficient materials for building and construction purposes. The use of foamed plastic insulation over the whole building facade and foundation is to be a major factor in the development of energy-efficient buildings; besides, it will improve indoor comfort and significantly reduce energy consumption. Rapid urbanization, residential and commercial construction boom, and mega infrastructure projects in emerging economies are among the reasons for the constant demand for such materials. Furthermore, the strict building energy codes and green building certifications make the necessary high-performance insulation solutions more appealing. Also, the long service life, lightweight nature, easy installation, and low cost of foamed plastic insulation make it easier for companies and customers to accept these materials in the new construction segment as well as in renovation and retrofit projects.

By end-use industry, the residential segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment of the foamed plastic insulation market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The residential segment is projected to experience the highest growth rate in the foamed plastic insulation market in terms of value during the forecast period, mainly because of the skyrocketing demand for housing, the burgeoning urban population, and the greater focus on energy-saving homes. The adoption of foamed plastic insulation by homeowners and builders is mainly due to the fact that it helps them save on heating and cooling costs, increases thermal comfort, and allows them to comply with the evolving energy-efficiency regulations. The rise in projects for the construction of affordable houses, multi-family buildings, and renovation and retrofit activities is another factor contributing to the expansion of the market. Moreover, the increasing awareness regarding sustainability and the long-term financial benefits are other factors that are promoting the use of high-performance insulation materials in residential construction. Besides government subsidies and incentives, green building programs, along with the stricter building codes concerning the insulation standards, have all combined to boost the adoption of the residential segment, thus making it the fastest-growing contributor to the market.

Europe is projected to account for the largest share in the foamed plastic insulation market during the forecast period, in terms of value.

Europe is projected to be the largest market in the foamed plastic insulation market during the forecast period on account of the continent’s robust regulatory framework, mainly directed toward energy. The tight EU requirements on energy performance of buildings, along with the reduction of carbon emissions, are triggering the uptake of high-performance insulation materials across the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Besides, the region has a significant amount of aging buildings, which creates a constant need for renovation and retrofit projects where the use of foamed plastic insulation is common. Furthermore, the market is being supported by green building standards, modern construction practices, and high awareness of energy-saving solutions. The presence of the insulation manufacturers, innovations in low-GWP and recyclable foams, and higher average insulation spending per project further strengthen Europe’s leading market position.
