Thermal insulation material refers to substances or products designed to reduce the transmission of heat between objects or areas with different temperatures. Insulation is installed in walls, roofs, floors, and other structural elements to reduce heat transfer, minimize heat loss in winter, and prevent heat gain in summer.
The main products of thermal insulation material market covered are roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Thermal insulation materials are used in roof insulation to minimize heat transfer through the roof structure. There are two types of buildings such as residential buildings and non-residential buildings. The applications involved are stone wool, glass wool, plastic foam, and other applications that are used by various end-user industries, including furniture, automotive, electronics, medical, retail, appliances, consumer goods, and other end users.

The thermal insulation material market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $62.24 billion in 2024 to $65.77 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government regulations, energy efficiency awareness, technological advancements, construction industry growth, rising energy costs.
The thermal insulation material market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $77.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased urbanization, climate change mitigation efforts, emphasis on sustainable construction, adoption of green building standards, advancements in material science. Major trends in the forecast period include development of bio-based insulation materials, expansion of the retrofitting market, rise of smart insulation solutions, integration of nanotechnology in insulation materials.
The rising building and construction industry is expected to fuel the growth of the thermal insulation material market going forward. The building and construction industry encompasses a wide range of activities related to the design, development, and erection of structures such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and industrial facilities. The building and construction industries use thermal insulation materials to enhance the energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability of buildings. For instance, in January 2024, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, an estimated 1,452,500 housing units were completed, representing a 4.5% increase in 2023 compared to the preceding year's number of 1,390,500. Therefore, the rising building and construction industry is driving the thermal insulation material market.
Major companies operating in the thermal insulation material market are focused on developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as light mineral wool, to increase their profitability in the market. Light mineral wool is a versatile and effective thermal insulation material that contributes to energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability in buildings. For instance, in May 2023, Isover, part of the Saint-Gobain Group, a France-based manufacturer of thermal and acoustic insulation solutions, launched QTech. QTech is a light mineral wool insulation solution for medium-temperature applications. It offers excellent thermal insulation, shot-free construction for superior heat resistance, and easy handling during installation. Non-combustible and chemically inert, QTech ensures safety and environmental sustainability in industrial, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) settings.
In June 2023, Etex Group, a Belgium-based gypsum product manufacturing company acquired Superglass Insulation Limited for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was made to expand Etex's sustainable insulation footprint in Europe beyond its current holdings in glass mineral wool and extruded polystyrene producer URSA. With this agreement, Etex strengthens its already robust operations in the UK and adds to its Insulation division's wide-ranging European sales and production network. Superglass Insulation Limited is a UK-based company that manufactures glass mineral wool insulation products
