Building thermal Insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential for keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. A well-insulated and well-designed home can provide year-round comfort, potentially cutting cooling and heating bills in half. This, in turn, reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, many synthetic and natural materials insulation options are available in the market. For the most part, the house-building industry chooses readily available and cost-effective insulation materials. However, there is a need to identify, distribute, and use environmentally-friendly and cost-effective insulation products that have been produced from locally sourced materials.

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market Outlook

The APAC building thermal insulation market is anticipated to boost during the forecast period owing to rising government spending on infrastructure and rapid urbanizations which leads to stress on the overall energy consumption. Moreover, increasing demand for eco-friendly building insulation products and sustainable development are expected to fuel the growth of this market in coming years. However, the market is hampered by fluctuating prices of raw material and lack of awareness among the people.

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market Segmental Overview

The report analysis the building thermal insulation market based on material type, application, type of construction and countries. 

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market by Material Type Based on material type the APAC building thermal insulation market is segmented into, plastic foam, glass wool, stone wool and others which includes, aerogel, cellulose etc. The plastic foam is divided into polystyrene foam, polyurethane (PUR) & polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam and others including phenolic foam, elastomeric foam etc. Polystyrene foam is further bifurcated into, expanded and extruded polystyrene. Among these materials, the plastic foam segment accounted for the highest market share in 2017, owing to its properties such as high thermal resistance, high R value and density is low, and so the weight reduction compared to other options is significant. Moreover, this product type is anticipated to grow at a lucrative growth rate during the forecasted period. 

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market by Application 

Based on application, the market is segmented into, roof, wall and floor. In 2017, the wall segment dominated the market and is anticipated to maintain its market hold over the forecast period. The rising demand for energy efficient buildings and maximum loss of energy through walls in a building is expected to contribute to the segment growth. 

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market by Type of Construction

By type of construction, the APAC building thermal insulation market is segmented into residential and non-residential building. the non-residential buildings are further segmented into, commercial building and others.  Residential building sector dominates the market and is expected to experience higher growth prospects during the forecast period. Moreover, the non-residential building segment is anticipated to register higher CAGR during the forecast period. The non-residential building sectors is growing in developed and developing countries due to large investment in the country infrastructure and the commercial sector in major countries like China and India is expected to boost the demand for thermal insulation material. 

APAC Building Thermal Insulation Market by Countries

By countries, the APAC building thermal insulation market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Rest of Asia-Pacific. Europe is accounted for the largest share in 2017, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific. The Europe market for building thermal insulation makes an important contribution to the growth of the APAC market as Chinese existed buildings and new constructions have the problems of large energy consumption, low efficiency, and poor thermal insulation for building enclosure which provides a developing potential for the building thermal insulation in China.
