by Thermal insulation materials play a critical role in increasing energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and energy losses from buildings and industrial infrastructure. They help lower emissions, utility bills, and operating costs by maintaining temperatures for longer periods without artificial heating or cooling. Thermal insulation works by trapping pockets of air or other gases between solid barriers that slow down heat and cold transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. Common insulation materials include expanded polystyrene, mineral wool, fiberglass, and polyurethane foam that provide an economical solution for rooftops, walls, pipes, ducts, and more.
The Global Thermal Insulation Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 81.91 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10 % over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
