Global Structural Insulation Panels (SIP) Market will expand at 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, driven by the surging construction of green buildings. The construction of green buildings is instrumental in driving the growth of the structural insulation panels market. These energy-efficient structures demand high-quality insulation solutions, such as SIPs, to enhance thermal performance and reduce energy consumption. According to the European Energy Agency, presently, nearly 75% of the existing building stock in Europe lacks energy efficiency, and it is anticipated that over 85% of the buildings constructed today will remain in operation until the year 2050.
SIPs are an eco-friendly choice, aligning with government efforts toward boosting the adoption of sustainable construction practices. For instance, according to the Indian Green Building Council, the state of Gujarat recorded 91 green building registrations from January to March 2023, slightly below the 93 registrations reported in 2022. As more green buildings are erected worldwide, the demand for these panels continues to rise, fueling market expansion.
The overall structural insulation panels (SIP) Market is categorized based on product, skin type, application, end-use, and region.
The glass wool segment will contribute significantly to the market growth over 2023-2032. Glass wool structural insulation panels (SIPs) are in high demand due to their excellent thermal insulating properties, lightweight nature, and fire-resistant characteristics. These panels effectively reduce energy consumption, enhance indoor comfort, and contribute to sustainable construction. Glass wool SIPs are also known for their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, making them a preferred choice for energy-efficient building projects, thereby driving their increasing demand.
The roofs segment will capture a recognizable SIP market share by 2032, driven by the exceptional insulating properties of SIPs. SIPs provide superior thermal performance, resulting in reduced energy consumption and cost savings. Their lightweight and durable construction also simplifies installation, making them an attractive choice for roofing projects. Additionally, SIPs contribute to eco-friendly and energy-efficient building designs, aligning with the increasing emphasis on sustainability in the construction industry, further fueling their demand.
Europe structural insulation panels (SIPs) industry is flourishing in Europe due to several factors. Stringent energy efficiency regulations have led to a growing demand for these panels, which offer excellent thermal insulation and help reduce carbon emissions. Initiatives like the EU’s Green Deal and national policies prioritize sustainable construction, driving SIP adoption. For instance, in the UK, the "Future Homes Standard" mandates the use of low-carbon technologies, increasing the relevance of SIPs in meeting these requirements, thus fostering industry growth.
