Monday 22 August 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, "OEM Insulation Market by Material Type (Foamed Plastics and Mineral Wool), End-use Industry (Industrial, Consumer, and Transportation), and Region - Global Forecasts to 2021", The global OEM insulation market size is projected to reach USD 14.62 Billion by 2021, registering a CAGR of 5.83% from 2016 to 2021. Increasing stringent regulations on energy efficiency are leading to the development of newer insulation materials for OEM applications.

Foamed plastics are the major insulation materials in the OEM insulation market

Foamed plastics insulation is projected to continue to account for the major portion of the total OEM market, in terms of volume. Economic expansion in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific will increase the demand for foamed plastic insulation in both building & construction and the production of household appliances. Foamed plastic insulation can be applied on various types of structural materials, including stone, brick, and masonry.

Majority demand of OEM insulation observed in the industrial sector

The offshore oil & gas, energy & utilities, manufacturing, semiconductor, telecom, and other equipment industries (electronic, analytical, and medical) use a significant amount of insulation materials for acoustic-, thermal-, and fire-related purposes. Out of all the industries mentioned above, oil & gas is the biggest consumer of OEM insulation materials, followed by energy & utilities and other equipment industries. OEM insulation materials such as glass wool and foams are mainly used in pipelines, pumps, compressors, power generators, and turbine rooms in the industrial sector.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to account for the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Asia-Pacific is the largest market for OEM insulation, both in terms of volume and value, followed by North America and Western Europe. China, the U.S., Germany, and Japan are the largest consumers of OEM insulation materials. Commercial and domestic buildings demand bulk amounts of OEM insulation materials in Asia-Pacific. In China, South Korea, and to a lesser extent, Japan, where the use of OEM insulation materials is more widespread, the rising awareness with regard to the benefits of insulation to achieve energy-efficient buildings, together with rising energy prices, are increasing the Importance of OEM insulation materials in the construction industry. In the other countries, there is a lack of legislation for OEM insulation and building standards, further explaining the low levels of consumption.
