INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

THERMAL INSULATION INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The India thermal insulation market is expected to reach INR 3,674.98 crore by 2028 from INR 2,189.81 crore in 2020. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2021 to 2028.

India has emerged as a manufacturing hub. The 'Make in India' campaign places India on the world map as a manufacturing centre and gives global recognition to the Indian economy. India's manufacturing sector has the potential to cross US$ 1 trillion by 2025; also, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, India is projected to rank among the top three growing economies and manufacturing destinations in the world. India's astonishing growth would drive the deployment of thermal insulation in heavy industry, oil & gas industry, and power generation industry. Further, the government of India is focused on enhancing the country's electrification rate coupled with technological advancements, which is also likely to increase the demand of thermal insulation during the forecast period. Moreover, the thermal insulation is used for high efficiency in the varying temperature of the industries. Further, rise in number of pharmaceutical industries in India is posing significant business opportunities for the thermal insulation market players to increase their respective customer base and expand their presence in the country. These factors are expected to propel the growth of the thermal insulation market during the forecast period. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, since the first quarter of 2020, India imposed lockdown restrictions to control the spread of novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Such restrictions restricted the movement of materials and people, and the disrupted the supply chain in the thermal insulation industry. Moreover, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, new construction activities in the country are restricted due to lockdown. Therefore, there is a decline in the use of insulation material. Insulation in old buildings, as per new local government rules and regulations, is also on hold owing to the lack of material and labor. According to Credit Rating Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL), the growth of Indian construction industry is declined by 12–16% in the current fiscal year because of the COVID-19 outbreak. According to the same agency, major players in the construction sector are expected to witness a 13 to 17% drop in revenue in fiscal year 2021 as there is decline in the construction activities.

The India thermal insulation market is segmented on the basis of material type and industry vertical. Based on material type, the market is segmented into fiber glass, plastic foam, stone wool, calcium silicate, cellular glass, and others. The stone wool segment dominated the market in 2020. In terms of industry vertical, the India thermal insulation market is segmented into oil and gas, chemical, aerospace and defense, automotive, pharmaceutical, and others. The chemical segment is a crucial industry for thermal insulations market.

The use of Polyurethane (PU) foam is an effective and advanced method for the thermal insulation of buildings. It is applied on the building by spraying, to reach even in the smallest gaps. It offers the damage-resistant and permanent insulation for house to improve living comfort and lower heating bills of building. The most significant advantages and disadvantages of other insulation methods substantiate that the PU foam is one of the most-effective methods to retain heat inside a building. The PU foam insulation is described by a high efficiency and short application time. The government legislation coupled with rising awareness about the advantages of thermal insulation is boosting the demand for insulation products.
