3. BASF SE (Germany), Saint-Gobain (France), and Wacker Chemie AG (Germany) are Leading Players in the Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) Market

The market for Exterior Insulation and Finish System is approximated to be USD 99.2 billion in 2023, and it is projected to reach USD 160.3 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 10.1%.

Exterior insulation and finish system is basically a construction material which is an excellent option for the sustainable thermal insulation of external walls or cladding. It is also known as ETICS (external thermal insulation composite system). It is a multi-layered, non-load bearing, lightweight exterior cladding system. In both new building and remodeling projects, ETICS/EIFS lowers energy expenses, fossil fuel usage, and carbon-di-oxide emissions because it prevents heat from escaping through the walls.

Exterior insulation and finish system provide insulation, finishing, and waterproofing the building's external walls and facades. These basically provide a type of artificial wall covering that typically consists of foam, plastic insulation, and a coating. These systems are often installed on a building's exterior walls by utilizing a gypsum board attached by an adhesive solution.

The demand for Exterior insulation and finish system is furnished by global players manufacturing for various end-use sectors. Some of the leading companies involved in the manufacturing of Exterior insulation and finish system are BASF SE (Germany), Saint-Gobain (France), Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), Sto SE & Co. KGaA (Germany), and Owens Corning (United States). These companies, along with other regional companies, cater to the demand for exterior insulation and finish system globally.
