The global advanced phase change materials market was valued at $1.4 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $4.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.61% from 2021 to 2030.
Phase change materials are compounds that absorb, store, and release an oversized amount of heat at a comparatively constant temperature by changing their physical state. When a phase change material freezes, it releases an oversized amount of energy in the form of heat whereas, when such material melts, it absorbs an oversized amount of heat from the environment. Phase change material absorbs and release heat by liquefying and solidifying at set temperatures. The natural heat property of phase change material helps in maintaining a structure’s temperature and prevents sudden external changes. Fluctuations in ambient temperature recharge phase change material, making them suitable for everyday applications.
The major driver for the advanced phase change material market is increase in use of activity materials for temperature control. The appliance of phase change material in buildings ensures temperature regulation in rooms. Variations in environmental temperatures during the day and night lead to the utilization of phase change materials to smart textiles or fabrics, which releases and absorbs energy accordingly. Temperature regulation using activity material reduces the load on the heating and cooling equipment used for maintaining temperature. The benefits of using phase change material such as energy-saving and low greenhouse emission emissions compel governments to encourage and enforce its use, leading to a rise in demand for phase change material. Indirect regulations and policies in exceedingly few countries, such as China and Australia create awareness about activity material as another for reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gases, and overhead.
The major problem faced by the advanced phase change material market is the lack of awareness regarding the advantages of using activity material and its products. Companies are marketing organic materials to extend awareness regarding their products and advantages, which is expected to be derived by using them, hence driving the demand for the market. The government also plays a crucial role in increasing awareness about natural action material through regulations and subsidies. The advanced phase change material market got affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic. Owning to the pandemic situation, several countries globally went into lockdown, to curb the spread of the virus, due to which, the availability and demand chain got disrupted, thus affecting the market. Industries, manufacturing units, infrastructural projects, and mining operations were closed down for the past two years, owing to the pandemic situation. The fluctuating price of raw materials leads to decrease in the production of organic phase change materials and therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic hinders the expansion of the advanced phase change materials market.
The advanced phase change materials market is segmented based on product type, application, and region.
On the basis of type, the market is categorized into organic PCM, inorganic PCM, and bio-based PCM. On the basis of application, it is segregated into building & construction, energy storage, HVAC, shipping & transportation, electronics, textiles, and others.

Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Advanced Phase Change Materials Market,' the advanced phase change materials market was valued at $1.4 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $4.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.61% from 2021 to 2030.Phase change materials (PCMs) are used for thermal energy storage, enabling the temporary storage of low- or high-temperature energy for later use. Offering a range of thermal management solutions, PCMs facilitate the ability to manage demand between energy requirements and usage. These materials store and release thermal energy on transitioning from one phase to another, that is, when materials freeze, large amount of energy is released as latent heat fusion or energy of crystallization. Conversely, energy is absorbed from the environment as solids melt into liquid.
Advanced phase change materials find extensive applications in the construction & building sector, which is one of the key factors that drives the market growth. One of the major drivers for the advanced phase change material market is increase in use of phase change material for temperature control. The application of phase change material in buildings ensures temperature regulation in rooms. Variations in environmental temperatures during the day and night are used to change the phase of the material, which releases and absorbs energy during the process. Temperature regulation using phase change material reduces the load on the heating and cooling equipment used for maintaining room temperature. Furthermore, factors such as increase in emphasis on energy conservation, expansion in application of advanced phase change materials in the textile sector, rapid urbanization in developing countries, and continued technological developments in the field of advanced PCM are expected to fuel the market growth in the near future.
The natural latent heat property of phase change material helps in maintaining a structure’s temperature and prevents sudden external changes. Fluctuations in ambient temperature recharge phase change material, making them suitable for everyday applications. The high regulations for reduction of greenhouse gas emission fuel the growth of the advanced phase change material market. However, the high cost of advanced PCM and lack of awareness among consumers regarding the use of phase change materials and flammability hamper the market growth.
The advanced phase change materials market is segmented based on product type, application, and region.
