Report Summary

The global thermal insulation coating market size was valued at USD 7,254 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. Thermal insulation coatings are materials applied to surfaces to form a protective finish and provide resistance to heat flow. Thermal insulation coatings prevent heat insulation by offering low thermal conductivity and high thermal co-efficient. These coatings provide corrosion resistance while improving energy efficiency. The different kinds of thermal insulation coatings include acrylic, epoxy, Polyurethane, mullite, and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) among others. Thermal insulation coatings are used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, manufacturing, construction, and aerospace.

The major driving factors of the market include increasing need to save energy, improve performance, and reduce operation costs. Thermal insulation coatings are increasingly being used to prevent corrosion caused by insulation. Growth in manufacturing and industrial sectors has increased the demand of thermal insulation coatings over the years. There has been an increase in demand from industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation, and industrial, thereby supporting market growth. There has been significant growth in manufacturing and construction industries owing to favorable government regulations and initiatives such as subsidies and incentives, and increasing foreign investments. Expansion of established companies into emerging economies and technological advancements in nanotechnology based thermal insulation coatings would provide numerous growth opportunities in the market.
