The rising construction activities are expected to drive the growth of the acoustic insulation material in buildings market going forward. Construction activities refer to the range of operations associated with erecting, modifying, or dismantling built structures or preparing sites. Construction activities are increasing due to growing urbanization that fuels demand for new residential and commercial infrastructure. Acoustic insulation materials in buildings support construction activities by offering effective sound control solutions, making them suitable for walls, floors, and ceilings. They enhance building comfort by minimizing noise transmission, improving privacy, and creating quieter indoor environments. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government organization, the number of dwellings under construction rose to 240,813 in 2023, up from 240,065 in 2022. Therefore, the rising construction activities are driving the growth of the acoustic insulation material in buildings market.

Key companies operating in the acoustic insulation material in buildings market are focusing on developing sustainable and high-performance products, such as bio-based binders, to improve sound absorption and minimize environmental impact. Bio-based insulation refers to advanced materials derived from renewable resources, such as recycled glass and bio-based acrylic, that offer superior thermal and acoustic performance while promoting circular economy principles. For instance, in March 2025, Knauf Insulation APAC, an Australia-based building materials manufacturing company, collaborated with Mineral Wool (Thailand), a Thailand-based insulation material manufacturing company, and introduced the Earthwool Metal Roofing Roll range in Thailand. It is a premium glass mineral wool insulation utilizing bio-based binders instead of conventional petroleum-based alternatives, significantly lowering the product’s embodied carbon. It features formaldehyde-free and ECOSE Technology, ensuring enhanced sustainability without compromising fire safety, acoustic comfort, or thermal performance.

In June 2023, Etex Group NV, a Belgium-based building materials manufacturing company, acquired Superglass Insulation Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Etex Group aims to strengthen its European presence in the sustainable insulation market and expand its insulation division across the UK and Ireland by increasing production capacity and brand diversification. Superglass Insulation Ltd. is a UK-based company that provides acoustic insulation for buildings using glass mineral wool.

This acoustic insulation material in buildings 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.

Acoustic insulation material in buildings refers to specialized materials developed to minimize the transmission of sound between different spaces or from external sources. These materials function by absorbing, damping, or blocking sound waves to create quieter and more comfortable indoor environments. They are incorporated into walls, ceilings, floors, and other structural elements to improve acoustic performance and enhance overall living or working conditions.

The primary material types in acoustic insulation material in buildings include mineral wool, fiberglass, foam panels, acoustic tiles, and resilient channels. Mineral wool is a dense, fibrous material produced from melted rock or slag, recognized for its thermal and sound insulation characteristics. These materials are assessed based on performance factors such as sound absorption coefficient, transmission loss rating, noise reduction coefficient (NRC), sound transmission class (STC), and fire resistance rating. Installation methods include new construction, renovation, retrofitting, modular installation, do it yourself (DIY) installation, and professional installation, and they are applied across walls, floors, ceilings, roofing, and doors, serving users such as residential, commercial, industrial, institutional buildings, and infrastructure projects.North America was the largest region in the acoustic insulation material in buildings market in 2025.
