Roof insulation is the thermal insulation present in a roofing system, typically provided by board-type products made from mineral fibers, cellular glass, foamed plastic, lightweight concrete, wood fiberboard, or other materials. These products may have different substances on the front or back, contributing to effective thermal insulation.
The primary types of roof insulation include batts and rolls, rigid insulation, and reflective systems. Batts and rolls, made of materials such as glass wool, stone wool, and plastic foam, are inserted into cavities between wood frames to control temperatures. They are utilized in both residential and non-residential buildings for flat and pitched roofs.
The roof insulation market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides roof insulation market statistics, including roof insulation industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a roof insulation market share, detailed roof insulation market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the roof insulation industry. This roof insulation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The roof insulation market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $10.63 billion in 2024 to $11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency regulations, rise in construction and building activities, growing awareness of energy conservation, demand for thermal comfort, government incentives and rebate programs.
The roof insulation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to urbanization and population growth, advancements in building materials, renovation and retrofitting projects, stringent environmental standards, energy cost concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of smart insulation solutions, focus on noise reduction and acoustic insulation, rising demand for recyclable insulation materials, customization for energy-efficient buildings, government initiatives driving energy-efficient construction.
The rising number of residential constructions is anticipated to drive the growth of the roof insulation market in the coming years. Residential construction includes the development of new spaces or the renovation of existing ones, such as buildings, apartments, and housing units intended for personal occupancy. Roof insulation is essential for enhancing energy efficiency, lowering energy costs, and providing additional protection for buildings. For instance, in August 2023, reports from the Welsh Government, a UK governmental body, indicated that 5,785 new houses were completed in Wales during the 2022-23 period, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year. Thus, the growing number of residential constructions is fueling the demand for roof insulation.
The rapid expansion of end-use industries such as marine, oil & gas, and petrochemical sectors is driving the roof insulation market. These industries have been growing in recent years due to economic development and industrialization, necessitating extensive pipelines that are frequently exposed to corrosive chemicals and moisture. Consequently, they require continuous coatings to protect pipelines from corrosion, which propels the roof insulation market forward. For example, in June 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that global energy investments were projected to increase by 8% in 2022, reaching USD 2.4 trillion, primarily driven by renewable energy. Additionally, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's report on monthly construction spending in 2022, construction expenditures were anticipated to reach $1,744.8 billion in April 2022, reflecting a 0.8% rise from the revised March estimate of $1,740.6 billion. Therefore, the growth of these end-user industries is advancing the roof insulation market.
Leading companies in the roof insulation materials market are concentrating on innovating new technologies to maintain their market position. For example, in April 2022, Profoam Corporation, a Georgia-based company specializing in insulating foam, introduced NEW ProFill High Density 0.75 lb Density Open Cell Spray Foam insulation. This ProFill spray foam delivers improved dimensional stability and spraying performance at competitive prices. Additionally, it is an eco-friendly product with a Low Global Warming Potential (GWP). With an impressive yield of 9,000 to 10,000 board feet, it offers contractors enhanced profitability compared to traditional closed-cell options.
A notable trend gaining popularity in the roof insulation market is the introduction of new products and advancements. Leading companies in this market are actively involved in research and development to create products that minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability. In June 2022, DuPont, a US-based chemical company, unveiled DuPont Thermax NH Insulation, featuring an innovative glass fiber-reinforced foam core with a high R-value. This insulation is designed for use in interior finish systems for walls and ceilings, as well as exterior continuous insulation. Noteworthy attributes include its ability to be left exposed on interior walls and ceilings without a thermal barrier, providing consistent high-performance R-values, and being environmentally friendly with zero ODP, HFC-free, and low VOC.
In March 2023, Installed Building Products Inc., a US-based construction company specializing in existing home insulation, after-paint products, residential, and commercial insulation construction, acquired Anchor Insulation Co. Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allowed Installed Building Products to extend its reach for residential, commercial, and industrial customers throughout the Northeastern United States. Anchor Insulation Co. Inc., based in the US, is engaged in the installation of mechanical, residential, and industrial insulation.
