OEM Insulation Market Size, Share and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type [Mineral Wool, Polyurethane Foam (PUF), Flexible Elastomeric Foam (FEF) and Others], By End-Use Industry (Construction, Industrial, Transportation, Consumer Goods, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

OEM insulation is engineered to provide resistance or prevent the transfer of heat, and noise. The fluctuating temperature in different regions is harmful for humans and equipment. Increasing industrialization and transportation has resulted into increase in air temperature and noise pollution. All these factors have created the need for OEM insulation in different end-user industries.

Rising construction industry will be the key driver for growth of OEM insulation market during the forecast period. OEM insulation are used in buildings to prevent heat transfer and protect it from noise pollution in industrial area. Use of OEM insulation is an essential part of construction in regions like Europe and North America. Owing to strict building regulations, there has been significant increase in the demand for OEM insulation in construction industry.

Stringent environmental regulation to reduce carbon emissions is a key challenge for the growth of global market. Manufacturing of OEM insulation causes emission of particulate matter and greenhouse gases. For instance, polyurethane foam results in emission of greenhouse gases like hydrochlorofluorocarbons. Environmental regulations require industries to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Impact of COVID-19 on the OEM Insulation Market

COVID -19 pandemic has staggering impact on the growth of global OEM insulation market. COVID- 19 caused the restrictions on the movement and lockdowns across the globe. It caused not only shutdown of manufacturing by OEM insulation companies but closing down of operations by industries from which demand comes for OEM insulation. Industries such as construction, transportation, automotive, aerospace, consumer goods which have major demand for OEM insulation negatively affected by COVID-19. This lead to decrease in demand for OEM insulation during COVID-19 period. However, with gradual opening of economies after mid 2020 led to increase in demand for OEM insulation from different end-user industries. The demand is expected to significantly rise during the forecast period owing to considerable control on the spread of COVID -19 resulting into different end-user industries operating with their full capacity.

Key Insights

The report will cover the following key insights:

• Regulatory Scenario of OEM Insulation Market.


• Key developments in OEM Insulation Market.


• Impact of COVID-19 on OEM Insulation Market.

Analysis by Type

Depending on the types, global OEM insulation market is segmented into mineral wool, polyurethane foam (PUF), flexible elastomeric foam (FEF) and others. In 2021, the mineral wool segment held the largest share of the market. High growth in mineral wool segment can be attributed to increased demand from rapidly growing construction activities. Properties of mineral wool such as high fire protection, acoustic insulation, better thermal performance and durability make it a product of choice in thermal insulation.

Analysis by End-Use Industry

Depending on end-use industry, the market is segmented into construction, industrial, transportation, consumer goods, and others. Among these, building and construction held the largest share in 2021 and expected to retain its position in the near future. Recent past has seen increase in the application of OEM insulation in the construction due to increased awareness about energy efficiency as well as for general resistance from fire, heat and cold, protection from noise pollution, etc. OEM insulation is used for pitched roofs, flat roofs, external walls, cavity walls, contact façade, ventilated façade, internal partitions and doors, ceilings, floors, frame construction, etc.

With increasing population and urbanization, building and construction industry will further grow with considerable rate and is expected to significantly boost the global OEM insulation market during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

North America holds the significant share of the global OEM insulation market followed by Europe. High growth of OEM insulation in North America and Europe can be attributed to the well-developed building and construction industry. Also, significant awareness about sustainability and energy efficiency in different end-user industries in order to reduce the cost as well as carbon emissions has contributed significantly to the growth of OEM insulation market in the region.

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing OEM insulation market and expected to further grow with significantly higher rate during the forecast period. Flourishing construction & automotive industry in China, India, ASEAN countries and increasing awareness about use of insulation is driving the market growth.

Latin America, Middle East & Africa are projected to indicate considerable growth in OEM insulation market due to increasing awareness about use of OEM insulation in oil and gas industry and rising building and construction industry in the region.
