Market Tracking: Thermal Insulation in Europe 2008
InterConnection Consulting Group, June 2008, Pages: 404
The total European Thermal Insulation market has yet again proven its strength. Improved requirements and new building codes has helped market expansion, which is then reflected in the solid increase in terms of quantity and in terms of value. The main market drivers of the industry is on one hand the search for energy efficiency in buildings and on the other hand the growing CEE markets. These countries are currently showing 2 digit growth rates, which reflects the improving and constant development of their economies and in which the construction industry remains an indicator of economical growth.
Indeed, the construction sector has always been strategically important for Europe and on which many sectors of the economy rely on. After a constant growth in construction activity in the past two years, the first signs of slowdown appeared already in the last quarter of 2007 and should be prolonged with increased effect up to at least 2010. In 2008 the largest softening should be registered in Spain and Germany with building permits and housing completion going down hill (around -10%). In this environment, thermal insulation, amongst other construction materials, will see how their sales in new construction and housing will decrease mainly in Western Europe. However, their income should be sustained by new buildings regulations related to energy saving measures.
