Global Acoustic and Thermal Insulation Market for Electric Vehicles Forecast, 2019-2029
In terms of value, the global acoustic and thermal insulation market for electric vehicles is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.07% during the forecast period 2019-2029. The growth in the global acoustic and thermal insulation market for electric vehicles is attributable to the ongoing demand for innovative, lightweight, and efficient insulation materials for electric vehicles. Generally, for determining a material’s thermal conduction on a flow of heat, the material’s R-value is calculated. The higher the R-value, the better the insulating effectiveness of the material. The current demand for insulation materials for electric vehicles is to be lightweight, cheap, and with a higher R-value for insulation.

The increasing application areas for insulation in an electric vehicle have led to the surging demand for various insulation materials such as foams, fibers, and rubber pads. Automotive OEMs have invested in fitting adequate amount of insulation in their electric vehicles to improve the driving experience, which in turn, can increase the electric vehicle sales. Moreover, huge investments in the form of subsidies and infrastructure development by different governments and federal agencies to promote electric vehicles to cut down carbon dioxide emission are further propelling the growth of electric vehicle insulation materials.

However, certain technical challenges, such as lack of global standards for electric vehicle insulation, along with finding suitable thermally resistive and lightweight materials for electric vehicles are restraining the growth of the global acoustic and thermal insulation market for electric vehicles.

Herein, the revenue generated from different material type (foams, fibers, and pads and mats, and others), application type (passenger compartment, rear compartment, under the hood and battery pack, and exterior), and regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest-of–the-World) has been tracked to calculate the overall market size in terms of value ($million) and volume (kilotons). Moreover, the company profile section highlights significant information about the key companies involved along with their financial positions, key strategies, and developmental activities of recent years.

Key automotive insulation materials that are identified in the global acoustic and thermal insulation market for electric vehicles include foams, fibers, pads and mats, and others. These materials owing to their distinguished characteristics are used for various usage in different parts of an electric vehicle. In terms of material type, foam-based material acquires the largest market share in the current scenario. Foams are made from various materials such polyurethane, polypropylene, and polyethylene.

Application for insulation materials for electric vehicles are mainly categorized into four parts of an EV, namely passenger compartment, rear compartment, under the hood and battery pack, and exterior. The passenger compartment currently has the highest amount of application of insulation materials in an electric vehicle. This is due to multiple application areas for insulation materials inside a passenger cabin such as inside door panels, under the floor, on the roof, on vehicle seats, and on the vehicle dashboard. The large amount of quantity of insulation materials needed to cover the insides of a passenger vehicle cabin leads to the greater amount of usage of insulation materials for this application. Amount of insulation material used inside a passenger vehicle varies according to vehicle type (passenger car or commercial vehicle), electric vehicle manufacturer’s insulation needs, and model of various different electric vehicles.

The global acoustic and thermal insulation market for electric vehicles encompasses three major types of electric vehicles which are hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). These vehicle types are present in the form of both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In terms of propulsion type, the HEVs segment acquires the largest market share in the current scenario.
