Global Acoustic Insulation

Featuring 102 tables and 64 figures – now available in Excel and Powerpoint! Learn More

This study analyzes global demand for acoustic insulation. Historical data (2008, 2013, and 2018) and forecasts for 2023 and 2028 are provided for acoustic insulation demand by material and market (in dollars and metric tons) on a leading country-by-country basis. Demand in value terms is shown at the manufacturers’ level and excludes distributor and retailer markups.

Materials broken out include:

foamed plastic
fiberglass
mineral wool
other materials (e.g., cellulose, cotton, perlite, vermiculite, aerogel, calcium silicate, and all other acoustic insulation materials)

The major market segments analyzed are:

residential buildings
nonresidential buildings
industrial and plant equipment
HVAC/air distribution equipment
transportation equipment
other insulation markets (e.g., appliances, nonbuilding/infrastructure construction, and heavy mobile machinery)

Thermal insulation is excluded from the scope of this study.
