Industry Overview

The Middle East Insulation Materials Market is expected to achieve a value of USD 4,466.6 million by 2035, expanding at a 3.01% CAGR by the end of 2035. Insulation materials refer to products engineered to minimize the exchange of heat, noise, or electrical current, thereby maintaining controlled conditions. Widely used in buildings, appliances, and industrial operations, they play a vital role in energy conservation, performance optimization, and long-term sustainability.

The Middle East Insulation Materials Market is experiencing a surge in demand due to uncharted urbanization, with countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE being close to full urban population levels. The expanding infrastructure projects, such as residential towers, commercial hubs, and megacities, are the main drivers of the market as they require advanced insulation for energy efficiency, climate control, and noise reduction. Government regulations on sustainable building practices, along with the rising urban lifestyles and affordability pressures, are the main reasons for the widespread use of insulation in both new and retrofit constructions.

Major Company Development

Knauf Insulation remains committed to expanding its global presence through targeted investments. The company, along with partner Texnopark, completed the purchase of Texnopark's Rock Mineral Wool insulation business in October 2024. The deal also includes a new facility in Tashkent equipped with electric melting technology for low-carbon production. In July 2023, Knauf announced a plan to raise 120 million Euros to double factory expansion at Novi Marof. This capacity increase will double production and potentially create 70 new jobs, with the project expected to finish by the end of 2025. Both initiatives highlight Knauf's commitment to green innovation, operational excellence, and building long-term resilience in the insulation materials sector.

Key Players

Major players in the Middle East insulation materials market are BASF SE, Knauf Group, Kingspan Group, Rockwool International A/S, Saint-Gobain, Covestro, Huntsman International LLC, DuPont, DOW, and AFICO.
