Vacuum Insulation Global Market Report 2026

Vacuum insulation is a type of insulation service designed to offer superior insulation performance compared to conventional insulation materials. It is particularly useful for transporting heat-sensitive products in extreme conditions and high temperatures. This insulation method involves a flat element consisting of an open porous core material that can withstand the external load caused by atmospheric pressure. A gas-tight envelope is used to maintain the required vacuum quality.

The main types of vacuum insulation include flat-panel and special-shape panels. Flat panels are employed for optimized temperature insulation, following the principles of a thermos flask. Various raw materials are used in the production of vacuum insulation, including plastics, metals, and core materials such as silica, fiberglass, and others. Vacuum insulation is utilized in construction, cooling and freezing devices, logistics, and various other end-user industries.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the vacuum insulation market by increasing costs of imported silica cores, metal foils, barrier films, vacuum sealing equipment, and precision manufacturing components. Construction and cold chain industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported insulation materials, while Asia-Pacific faces higher export costs. These tariffs are increasing project costs and slowing adoption in cost-sensitive applications. However, they are also driving domestic production of insulation panels, regional raw material sourcing, and innovation in alternative core materials and manufacturing processes.

Vacuum insulation in the construction industry provides highly efficient thermal insulation by creating a vacuum between panels, reducing heat transfer, and improving energy efficiency in buildings. This technology helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while lowering energy consumption. For instance, in June 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, US-based government administrations, in May 2023, privately owned home starts were occurring at a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1,631,000, representing an increase of 21.7% in the revised April 2023 prediction of 1,340,000 and 5.7% in the May 2022 rate of 1,543,000. The number of privately owned home completions in May 2023 was 1,518,000 on a seasonally adjusted yearly basis, representing an increase of 5.0% over the May 2022 rate of 1,446,000 and 9.5% above the revised April 2023 estimate of 1,386,000. Therefore, the expansion of the construction industry is driving the growth of the vacuum insulation market.

Major companies operating in the vacuum insulation market are focused on introducing innovative insulating glass to gain a competitive edge in the market. Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG) is an architectural glass that uses vacuum technology to create an insulating glass unit (IGU) with exceptional insulation performance. For instance, in February 2024, Kolbe Windows & Doors, a US-based manufacturer of windows and doors, partnered with LuxWall, a US-based provider of energy-efficient glass solutions. The partnership aims to launch vacuum-insulating glass (VIG) technology, specifically the Enthermal design, as a high-efficiency option for residential use. This collaboration provides energy-conscious customers with innovative and aesthetically pleasing glass solutions that significantly reduce heat gain and loss. By utilizing LuxWall's advanced VIG technology, they enhance glass performance for both new constructions and renovations. Together, they strive to meet the increasing demand for superior quality and energy efficiency in glass products.

In July 2024, the Fenzi Group, an Italy-based glass processing industry, acquired Thermoseal for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition enables Fenzi to integrate Thermoseal's innovative products into its portfolio, strengthening its position in the IG components market. This strategic move is set to promote collaboration and innovation in the glass processing sector, reflecting Fenzi's dedication to excellence. Thermoseal is a UK-based manufacturer of insulated glass.
