Global Mineral Wool Material Market size to be worth over USD 23.5 billion by 2027

  • Published Date: January 27, 2022

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Mineral Wool Material Market size is anticipated to surpass USD 23.5 billion by 2027 owing to the strong growth in pre-engineered industry along with booming construction industry.
 

Insulation is used for PEB to minimize heat gain, prevent moisture condensation, maximize thermal comfort, minimize energy loss, provide acoustic insulation, and reduce operating cost for air-conditioned buildings. PEB buildings find applicability in the manufacturing industries, power plants, high-rises, warehouses, aircraft hangars, commercial buildings, metro stations, and stadiums.
 

Growing demand for sound barriers in residential & commercial buildings should propel mineral wool boards segment

Global mineral wool material demand in board form is projected to grow over USD 8 billion by the end of 2027. Glass wool in board form is used largely across construction and manufacturing sectors. The mineral wool boards are typically used for acoustic solutions in the construction sector. Superior acoustic insulation can be produced by incorporating composite bulk and reflective materials into the board form. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of glass wool boards along with their flexibility and ease of installation resulting into wider acceptance of mineral wool boards amongst manufacturers.

 

The growing demand for sound barriers in residential & commercial buildings due to the adverse effects of high noise levels will fuel the demand for board form of insulating materials. Rising renovation policies and other building regulations for buildings across the globe will propel the industry landscape over the forecast period. A continuous increase in the demand and the awareness pertaining to the harmful effects of high noise levels will provide a positive scope for business growth.

 

Excellent product properties such as low cost, high density, easy degradability, and fire-resistance will stimulate market growth from rock wool segment

Global mineral wool material market from rock wool segment was valued 6.45 billion at 2020 and anticipated to grow with the CAGR of 5.5.% by the end of 2027. Growing demand for insulation materials derived from mineral sources will propel the rock wool insulation market. Increasing adoption of low carbon footprint policy across construction, automotive, and industrial sectors will further support demand for rock wool as the product is based on natural minerals and can be recycled into fibers that are further utilized across the industrial sector. Additionally, the ability of the product to be manufactured to different densities generates new growth prospects for industry participants as it allows them to deliver custom services to their clients.
 

Various factors such as low cost, high density, easy degradability, fire-resistant, and better noise reduction coefficient than glass wool will augment demand for rock wool for the projected period. Increasing demand for rock wool can be attributed to factors such as rapid urbanization, increasing disposable income, growing middle-class population and increased focus on global warming and environmental issues.
 

Positive construction outlook in India with increasing new housing and renovation activities will propel the rock wool insulation market. A shift in paradigm towards the use of insulation material made from basalt owing to increasing environmental concern further supports the demand for rock wool.
