This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $10.3 billion global mineral wool industry, including both insulation and other uses. It presents historical demand data (2010, 2015, and 2020) and forecasts (2025 and 2030) by application (thermal and acoustic insulation, ceiling tiles and panels, and other applications - such as EIFS siding and green roofing), market (residential, nonresidential, industrial and plant equipment, HVAC and air distribution, and other - such as appliances and transportation equipment), and type (rock wool, slag wool). The study also evaluates company market share for mineral wool insulation and competitive analysis on industry competitors including Knauf Gips, Owens Corning, ROCKWOOL, and Saint-Gobain.
Study Highlights include:
- advances in nonresidential building construction, particularly in the developing world
- increasingly stringent energy efficiency and fire safety policies throughout the world, which often call for greater use of heat-resistant insulation
- growing use of acoustic insulation to reduce noise pollution and improve worker safety, as well as to meet consumer demand for quieter household appliances
- increasing access to air conditioning in developing countries, leading to rising HVAC production and mineral wool insulation demand
