The global refrigeration insulation materials market is expected to grow from $3.87 billion in 2022 to $4.13 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The refrigeration insulation materials market is expected to grow to $5.30 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.40%.
The refrigeration insulation materials market consists of sales of refrigeration insulation materials of various temperature ranges including low-temperature thermal insulation (-267.8 oC - 156oC), intermediate temperature thermal insulation (16.1 oC - 315.6 oC) and high-temperature thermal insulation (316.1 oC - 815 oC). Values in this market are 'factory gate' values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
Refrigeration insulation materials play an important role in controlling heat gains in industrial refrigeration systems. Refrigeration insulation materials are installed in the compressor and evaporator pipes. Insulation is also used to save energy, prevent condensation and ice formation, and reduce corrosion.
Europe was the largest region in the refrigeration insulation materials market in 2022. The regions covered in the refrigeration insulation materials market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.
The main types of refrigeration insulation materials are elastomeric foam, PU (polyurethane) and PIR (polyisocyanurate), polystyrene foam, fiberglass, phenolic foam, and others. Elastomeric foam is a closed-cell synthetic rubber available in factory-made tubes, sheets, or rolls. The various applications involved are commercial, industrial, cryogenic, and refrigerated transportation that are used by food and beverage, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, oil and gas and petrochemicals, and other end-use industries.
Increasing sales of refrigeration systems are expected to propel the growth of the refrigeration insulation materials market going forward. The demand for refrigeration systems is increasing as they are essential processes in industry and home applications and perform cooling or maintain the desired room temperature. The purpose of a refrigeration insulation system is to reduce heat flow in cooled spaces or cold devices like refrigerated pipes, vehicles, warehouses, and HVAC, which is made possible by the use of refrigeration insulation materials. For instance, according to a report published by ANIMA Confindustria Meccanica Varia, an Italy-based industrial organization that represents companies involved in mechanical engineering, in 2021, Italy's national production value of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) was approximately 825 million euros (USD 858.6 million), an increase of 11% over the previous year and 4% over 2019, while the total market in Italy exceeded 2.260 billion euros (USD 2.35 billion), an increase of 37% over 2020 and 33% over 2019. And heat pumps and air-cooled refrigeration units grew by 120 percent in volume and 130 percent in value in the size segment below 17 kW in 2021, indicating a noticeable increase in the hydronic industry. Therefore, increasing sales of refrigeration systems are driving the growth of the refrigeration insulation materials market.
Product innovations are a key trend gaining popularity in the refrigeration insulation materials market. Major companies operating in the market are developing innovative products to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in May 2022, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based engineering and technology company launched a hydro fluoro olefin (HFO)-based refrigerant, Solstice 456A for the European automotive aftermarket. The new technology has the potential to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint of existing vehicle air conditioning systems by more than 50%. Solstice 456A is a simple, cost-effective drop-in service solution for vehicles manufactured before 2017. It contributes to meeting the needs of vehicle owners and auto repair shops in the face of ongoing EU climate-related legislation. The product line includes refrigerants for supermarkets, air conditioning for cars and trucks, blowing agents for insulation, propellants for personal and household care, and solvents for cleaning solutions, which help customers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency without sacrificing end-product performance.
In October 2022, Armacell, a Luxembourg-based industrial foams and flexible insulation materials manufacturer and supplier acquired Austroflex Rohr-Isoliersysteme GmbH for an undisclosed amount. With the acquisition of Austroflex, Armacell will expand its geographic and market exposure in Europe while strengthening its product portfolio, expertise, and manufacturing capabilities to serve the energy-efficient and rapidly growing pre-insulated pipe market. Austroflex Rohr-Isoliersysteme GmbH is an Austria-based company involved in technical insulation solutions, thermal solar pipe systems, and flexible pre-insulated pipe systems.
