Global Market for Industrial Thermal Insulation is Projected to Reach US$5.6 Billion by 2020
Innovation & Technology Improvements in Thermal
Performance Drives the Industrial Thermal Insulation Market, According to New
Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release
of a comprehensive global report on Industrial Thermal Insulation markets. Global
market for Industrial Thermal Insulation is projected to reach US$5.6 billion by 2020, driven by improvements in thermal performance,
stringent energy efficiency norms, and strong focus on energy savings.
Thermal insulation in
industrial plants is designed to obstruct the flow of heat energy and limit
heat loss. Insulation capacities typically utilized in this sector range
between -73.3ºC (-100ºF) and 815.6ºC (1500ºF). In addition, thermal insulation
also offers fire protection and acoustic insulation benefits. All industrial
plants generate heat by burning fossil fuels required for carrying out various
industrial activities. Focus is therefore being shed on wasteful dissipation of
this heat, especially so against a backdrop of growing awareness over the
importance of minimizing heat loss. In power generation plants for instance,
heat is generated in steam boilers, furnaces etc., by burning fuel. The
produced heat is used for producing electricity and heat loss in power generation
therefore implies loss of productivity. Industries including chemicals,
petrochemicals, oil & gas process plants and power generation are among the
major end-use markets for thermal insulation.
Growth
in the market is driven by product innovation and favourable regulations for
thermal insulation. Continuous technology advancements are brining innovative
insulation products brought to market. Especially poised to benefit are developments
that help result in enhanced energy efficiency. Thermal insulation research is
currently focused on developing nanotechnology
based materials that can offer enhanced energy efficiency. Microporous
insulation and vacuum thermal insulation represent strong growth areas in the
near term. Rising significance of foam as a
cost-effective and efficient alternative to conventional insulation materials
such as mineral wool is emerging as a key growth driver in the market.
As electricity is critical
to infrastructure development, investments in power generation are growing at a
steady pace across the world. Insulation, in this regard, finds extensive
applications in conventional, nuclear and solar power generation plants. Fibrous
and granular insulation materials, such as, calcium silicate, fiber glass and
mineral wool, have been in use in piping and equipment in nuclear plants for
over years. Calcium Silicate is extensively used in hot service piping and
equipment in power plants mainly because of attributes such as durability and
corrosion resistance.
As stated by the new
market research report on Industrial Thermal Insulation, the United States
represents the largest market worldwide, followed by Europe. Asia-Pacific is
forecast to spearhead growth with the fastest CAGR of 6.0% over the analysis period.
Steady economic growth, improving environmental regulations and laws, and strong
production activities across key end-use industries, represent key factors driving
growth in the region.
