Building Acoustic Insulation Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Glass Wool, Rock Wool, Foamed Plastic), By Application (Residential, Non-residential), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

The global building acoustic insulation market size is expected to reach USD 6.81 billion by 2030. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is attributed to the rising residential and non-residential construction activities and growing investments in infrastructural developments. In addition, the rising awareness of residents regarding the construction of energy-efficient properties, surging requirements of renovating existing buildings, increasing demand for comfortable interior spaces, and evolving regulations of different countries to maintain the required acoustic levels in properties are further expected to propel the market growth.

Building acoustic insulation focuses on sound reduction mainly with the help of building envelopes such as façades, roofs, ceilings, internal walls, and floors. These applications are one of the crucial factors for the success of acoustic insulation in the construction industry. Thus, the growing construction industry is one of the major drivers for the growing demand for the acoustic insulation market.

Foamed plastic building acoustic insulation is installed in house properties for dampening noise pollution as they remove echoes and background sounds by absorbing them. They not only absorb sound but also enhance the quality of sound and speech in a room. However, foamed plastics are mainly composed of polyurethane, which releases smoke in large volumes when burned. This makes them unsafe for usage in buildings in comparison with rock wool and glass wool.

Market differentiators are the players engaged in the production and distribution of building acoustic insulation with distinctive characteristics. Acoustic insulation is used in residential properties for internal compartments, floors, partitions, and cracks. Manufacturers of these insulations produce customized insulation panels for ventilation ducts, drainage systems, beams, chimneys, and pillars of residential structures.

Building acoustic insulation manufacturers are opting for new technology in the manufacturing process, which allows them to absorb sound at the low end of the sound spectrum. This results in low operational costs and time and provides them with a competitive edge over other manufacturers. The market players use strategies including mergers & acquisitions, agreements with other companies, and product development to maintain their market position. In addition, players focus on mergers & acquisitions to expand their regional and product portfolio base.

Building Acoustic Insulation Market Report Highlights

• The foamed plastic segment is expected to witness a growth rate of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030. This is attributed to rising demand from industries like residential and non-residential construction as they reduce noise pollution and remove echoes & background sounds not by blocking the sound but by absorbing it. Furthermore, characteristics such as lightweight insulation material with superior sound absorption and quakeproof are expected to boost the product demand
• The steep in the market was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which disrupted the construction and manufacturing activities around the world. This, in turn, hampered the demand for building acoustic insulation in the market. However, the market has witnessed a recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, growing industrialization and urbanization are estimated to increase the demand for building acoustic insulation during the forecast period
• Non-residential application dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 4.06 billion by 2030, owing to increasing offices, hotels and motels, restaurants, malls, warehouses, gyms, and recreational properties developed by general contractors, design-build companies, and project managers. In addition, building acoustic insulation in non-residential properties helps improve the performance and productivity of employees, enables effective communication, and ensures their privacy
• Prominent players are focusing on a variety of business strategies, such as capacity building, business expansion, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and application development, to maintain their position in the global market. Furthermore, investment in research & development is expected to provide new opportunities for the players. For instance, in 2021, Johns Manville added a new product to its building insulation product line. The product, JM Corbond High Yield Open-Cell Spray Polyurethane Acoustic Foam has the ability to offer exceptional spray application and high performance.
• The U. S. dominated the North America market accounting for over 75.3% of the region’s market revenue share in 2022. The growing awareness regarding the advantages of soundproofing residential buildings such as family homes, multi-family residential buildings, and apartments are contributed to the market growth in the region.
