The drywall and insulation contractors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $519.87 billion in 2024 to $571.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to construction and real estate boom, housing market trends, energy efficiency and building codes, renovation and remodeling activities, population growth and urbanization.
The drywall and insulation contractors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $807.82 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable construction practices, government incentives for energy efficiency, green building certifications, affordable housing initiatives, adoption of smart home technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include digital tools for design and planning, fire-resistant insulation, rising demand for drywall finishes, weather-resistant insulation systems, skilled labor shortages and workforce training.
The rising number of residential constructions is expected to drive the growth of the drywall and insulation contractors market in the future. Residential construction encompasses the building of new spaces or the renovation of existing ones, such as buildings, apartments, and housing units designed for personal occupancy. Drywall and insulation contractors carry out various tasks, including drywall installation, plastering, and insulation work for residential properties, significantly reducing drafts, particularly during winter and windy seasons. They help maintain the home’s temperature by adding an extra layer of insulation. For instance, in May 2024, a report published by the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, revealed that total new construction orders increased by 15.9% ($1,866 million) (£1,436 million) in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. This quarterly growth was primarily driven by a 27.9% ($909 million) (£700 million) rise in private commercial new work and a substantial 43.8% ($696 million) (£536 million) increase in public other new work. Thus, the growing number of residential constructions is propelling the growth of the drywall and insulation contractors market.
The increasing construction spending is anticipated to boost the drywall and insulation contractors market in the coming years. Construction spending serves as an economic indicator that tracks the total amount of money allocated to construction activities over a specific period, typically a month or a year. Higher construction spending usually leads to a rise in construction activities, including both residential and non-residential projects, which in turn raises the demand for drywall and insulation services. For instance, in June 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, a US-based financial institution, reported that total construction spending had increased by approximately 4%, with public construction spending on water supply experiencing a rise of over 20%. Therefore, the growth in construction spending is driving the expansion of the drywall and insulation contractors market.
Technological advancements emerge as prominent trends fueling the drywall and insulation contractors’ market. Major companies within this sector are emphasizing technologically advanced products to maintain their competitive standing. For example, in January 2022, Canvas, a US-based construction robotics startup, introduced a drywall finishing robot designed to enhance safety and productivity in drywall finishing, addressing the growing scarcity of skilled labor. The Canvas system automates two of the most challenging aspects of drywall finishing - mudding and sanding. By expediting project completion while ensuring consistently high-quality finishes, these innovations aim to revolutionize the drywall finishing process.
Leading companies within the drywall and insulation contractors’ market are dedicated to innovating new products, such as spray polyurethane foam (SPF), to gain a competitive edge in the industry. SPF is a type of insulation applied as a liquid that expands to fill voids or seal gaps, offering highly efficient insulation that aids in reducing energy expenses and enhancing comfort. For example, in September 2023, Firestable Insulation Company, a US-based provider specializing in spray foam technology, introduced Stablebase 2 Max R. This next-generation hydrofluoroolefins (HFO) blown, closed-cell polyurethane foam solution is spray-applied, boasting zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than two. With an impressive high 7.5 R-value and improved thermal performance, Stablebase 2 caters to both residential and commercial settings, delivering energy savings on operational expenses.
In March 2023, Installed Building Products Inc. (IBP), a US-based installer of insulation and complementary building products, completed the acquisition of Anchor Insulation Co. Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition significantly expanded IBP's market presence, particularly across the northeastern United States, catering to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Anchor Insulation, a US-based insulation contractor, specializes in providing mechanical and industrial insulation solutions to clients across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Through this acquisition, IBP strengthened its portfolio and service capabilities in serving a diverse clientele in the insulation market.
