The global pipe insulation market size was estimated at USD 8.87 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030. Rising awareness pertaining to energy conservation among consumers is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.The market witnessed a severe downfall in investments in the industrial sector owing to the pandemic, thereby impacting overall growth. In addition, a dramatic fall in crude oil prices led to a drop in fiscal resources for oil-producing countries, which affected the product demand from the oil & gas sector. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to witness exponential growth over the forecast period on account of the rising number of industries in economies, such as China and India.

Rapid urbanization coupled with the rising demand for residential and commercial construction is anticipated to further fuel the market growth. Increasing adoption of district heating systems, driven by rising electricity tariffs, rising environmental awareness, and technological advances is expected to propel market growth in the U.S. In addition, rising investments in the expansion of gas liquefaction terminals are expected to drive the demand for pipe insulations over the forecast period.The presence of a large number of manufacturers and service providers, coupled with the easy availability of raw materials and easy installation processes, has resulted in intense market competition.

Pipe Insulation Market Report Highlights

• The polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foam material segment accounted for the largest market share of over 20.0% in 2021 on account of high insulating values with low conductivity and a cellular structure that helps in reducing heat transfer by conduction
