Foam Glass Market by Type, Application, End-use

List of Tables

The Foam Glass Market was valued at USD 1.81 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 1.95 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.78%, to USD 3.49 billion by 2030.

Foam glass is a porous glass material with diverse applications, primarily known for its excellent thermal insulation, lightweight, and resistance to water and biological degradation. This unique product is made by heating a mixture of crushed glass and a blowing agent, which expands and forms closed glass cells. The necessity of foam glass arises from its environmentally friendly attributes, including recyclability and non-toxicity, making it an ideal solution in green building initiatives. Its applications span across thermal insulation for building constructions, cryogenic insulation in chemical processing and energy storage facilities, and as a sound-proofing material. The end-use sectors primarily incorporate construction, industrial, and manufacturing industries. Market growth is driven by increasing construction activities, heightened awareness of energy-efficient materials, and strict environmental regulations. Growth factors include advancements in manufacturing technologies, rising demand for eco-friendly materials, and government investments in infrastructure development.
