Global Pipe Insulation Market By Material Type (Cellular Glass, Fiberglass, Polyurethane & Polyisocyanurate Foam and Other Material Types), By Application (Building & Construction, District Energy System and Industrial), By Region and Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2022-2032

Pipe Insulation Market Overview:

The market for pipe insulation was worth USD 8,742 million in 2021. It is projected to grow at a 4.8% CAGR between 2023 and 2032.

The market is expected to grow due to rising awareness among consumers about energy conservation. Due to the pandemic, the market saw a sharp decline in investments in the industrial sector. These factors have harmed the market. A dramatic drop in crude oil prices caused a decrease in the fiscal resources of oil-producing countries. This affected product demand from the oil & gas sector. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of district heating systems due to rising electricity tariffs and rising environmental awareness. The forecast period will also increase investment in gas liquefaction terminal expansion.

Global Pipe Insulation Market Scope:

Material Type Analysis

Polyurethane and Polyisocyanurate dominated the market and accounted for over 22% of the total revenue for 2021. Because it can absorb water, air, and gases, the material is commonly used in pipe insulation applications.

Cellular glass has high compressive strength, low vapor permeability, and fire protection. Cellular glass can be used for many purposes, including heat transfer fluid systems and chemical processing systems. It is also used in ductwork, commercial pipes, storage tanks, and other areas.

Fiberglass has a wide range of applications in insulation systems because it is easy to install and low cost. It is used extensively to insulate copper and iron pipes in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. It is used to provide insulation solutions in the construction and automotive industries.

Application Analysis

The market’s largest segment, industrial applications, accounted for more than 34.3% of total revenue in 2021. The segment’s growth is expected to be boosted by the increasing demand for piping systems across various industries, including petrochemical and oil and gas, power generator, chemical, and wastewater treatment. This product increases safety in oil pipelines, especially in onshore pipelines.

The increasing population and urbanization will likely drive the demand for building materials and other construction products. Pipe insulation will be influenced by the growth in the construction industry and stricter energy efficiency norms. The growing trend towards sustainable buildings is another factor that has fueled the growth of pipe insulation.

District energy systems are being adopted around the world to connect renewables, heat grids, thermal storage, and heat pumps. These systems use pre-insulated pipes to distribute produced streams and provide steam or hot water to cool building spaces. They provide sustainable heating and cooling.
Insulated piping systems dominate district energy systems. These pipes are made of eco-friendly materials. The growth of district energy systems will also lead to an increase in demand for pipe insulation.

Market Dynamics:

High market competition has been created by the presence of many manufacturers and service providers. Pipe insulation prices vary depending on the production process and raw materials used.

Major pharmaceutical companies are increasing their capacity to meet the growing demand for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. These production plants include process pipes, which will drive significant demand for pipe insulation in the future.

Manufacturers are heavily dependent on trusted suppliers who have a high level of goodwill due to past product procurement. This makes it difficult for new entrants into the market. The market is dominated by established players that have a solid financial base. New entrants will be further restricted by the high initial investment required to start the business. This will limit new players from entering the market.

Regional Analysis:

Europe was the dominant market, accounting for more than 31.1% of global revenue in 2021. This is due to the rapid increase in construction and infrastructural activity and the increasing installation of district energy systems within economies such as Spain, Germany, and the U.K.

Domestic consumption of food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products is increasing. This has driven investments in these manufacturing sectors. It has also pushed the North American demand for pipe insulation and process pipes. The industry is expected to grow because of rising product demand for residential applications.

Thanks to growing investments in chemical processing, APAC will see a 5.4% growth rate from 2022 to 2032. Market growth will also be driven by rising oil and gas demand and the rapid expansion of LNG regasification capacity to meet future demand.

Although the Brazilian chemical industry is a major player in the manufacturing sector, the current stagnant economic environment has negatively impacted overall investment. This has affected the demand for pipe insulation. The recent pandemic will also delay economic recovery and impact the investment climate.
