The increasing investments in infrastructure development are expected to drive the growth of the polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels market in the coming period. Infrastructure development involves building and upgrading essential systems such as transportation, energy, water supply, and communication networks that support economic progress and societal requirements. These investments are rising to accommodate urbanization and economic growth in both emerging and developed regions. Increased infrastructure spending promotes the use of PUR insulated sandwich panels by encouraging construction in areas such as commercial buildings, warehouses, and cold storage facilities, where energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and ease of installation are critical. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK reported that infrastructure investment reached $17.66 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase over 2022. Thus, the rise in infrastructure investments is propelling the growth of the polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels market.

Leading companies in the polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels market are focusing on strategic investments, such as establishing sandwich panel manufacturing facilities, to expand production capacity, meet rising demand across industrial and commercial construction sectors, and strengthen their market position in key regions. A sandwich panel manufacturing facility is a specialized plant where insulated panels with core materials such as PUR are produced by bonding metal sheets with foam insulation for construction purposes. For instance, in June 2025, EPACK Prefab, an India-based manufacturer of pre-engineered buildings and insulated sandwich panels, expanded its manufacturing presence in southern India by inaugurating a state-of-the-art sandwich panel facility at Mambattu. Covering 283,660 sq ft with a built-up area of 149,151 sq ft, the fully automated plant increases EPACK’s annual production capacity by 800,000 sqm to a total of 1,310,000 sqm. Designed for high efficiency and minimal manual labor, the facility produces advanced PUR, polyisocyanurate (PIR), and Rockwool panels tailored for cold storage, food processing, and industrial infrastructure. Aligned with sustainability goals, the plant complies with strict environmental standards and supports the growing demand for energy-efficient building solutions.

In December 2023, Recticel Group, a Belgium-based provider of high-performance insulation solutions, acquired REX Panels & Profiles SA for approximately EUR 70 million (about USD 76 million). Through this acquisition, Recticel sought to expand its insulated panels platform in Western Europe, increase its production capacity, and strengthen its position in the polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulated sandwich panels market. REX Panels & Profiles SA is a Belgium-based manufacturer of PIR and mineral wool insulated panels for roofs and façades, offering a wide range of thermal insulation products for industrial and commercial building applications.

This polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

Polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels are multi-layered construction materials consisting of two metal facings bonded to a rigid polyurethane foam core. The foam core offers excellent thermal insulation due to its low thermal conductivity. These panels are engineered to provide energy efficiency, structural strength, and moisture resistance within building systems.

The primary types of polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels include wall panels, roof panels, and floor panels. Wall panels are prefabricated structural components made of two metal facings and a rigid polyurethane foam core, used to build insulated, energy-efficient walls. The core materials in these panels may include polyurethane, polystyrene, and mineral wool. Surface finishes include galvanized steel, painted steel, aluminum, and plastisol. These panels find applications in various sectors such as residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural. Key end users include the construction, cold storage, logistics, food processing industries, and others.North America was the largest region in the polyurethane (PUR) insulated sandwich panels market in 2025.
