Global Industrial Thermal Insulation Market By Material (Calcium Silicate, Mineral Fiber & Others), By Product Form (Rigid Foam/Foam Board & Others), By End Use Industry, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024

The global industrial thermal insulation market is forecast to exhibit a CAGR of over 7% during 2019-2024, growing from $6.41 billion in 2018 to $9.85 billion by 2024, owing to expanding industrial sector and stringent safety and emission norms. Insulation is defined as the process of using a material or a compound made up of different materials that are capable of restricting the flow of thermal or heat energy. Thermal insulation has become essential in industries for safety and for reducing heat loss during the manufacturing process. Industrial thermal insulation helps in increasing the sustainability of manufacturing processes. The rising demand in industrial refrigeration to prevent condensation and development in high temperature insulation wools is expected to positively influence the market during forecast period.

In terms of material, the global industrial thermal insulation market has been categorized into calcium silicate, mineral fiber, foamed plastic, perlite, cellular glass and others. Of these segments, cellular glass accounted for a significant portion of the global industrial thermal insulation market in 2018, owing to their broad service temperature range, which is around 35°C to 815°C. Furthermore, the perlite category is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period, on account of their heavy use in several industrial applications.
