The global mineral wool material market is expected to reach USD 20.31 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030. Global mineral wool material market demand is expected to increase due to environmental tolerance, potential prospects for acoustic insulation applications, quickly expanding urbanisation, and rising construction activity.

Market Overview

The mineral wool market comprises companies (organisations, sole traders, and partnerships) that sell mineral wool, which is used as an insulator to endure intense heat. A controlled mixture of raw materials, including stone or silica, is used to create this fibrous material, which is then melted at a specific temperature to create a flexible fibrous mat. Mineral wool is an inorganic, non-metallic product that may be shaped into various shapes and covered with various sheet materials. Rolls of mineral wool, which are used for loft insulation of pre-formed and faced pipe sections, acoustic panels, and ceiling tiles, contain loose granular material used for blown insulation of wall slabs, cavity walls, and slabs for walls. The market is anticipated to see significant growth opportunities due to the recyclable nature of glass mineral wools. More than 25% of all garbage in Europe comes from the building industry, which also uses more than 60% of all raw materials that have been recycled. European nations create a sizable amount of insulating trash overall. New product launches are anticipated to be a significant market trend. Key players' increasing use of commercial tactics, including merger and acquisition, is expected to increase market expansion. The market expansion is anticipated to be constrained by the health risk associated with mineral wool. For example, a report released by the EU in 2019 emphasised these worries over health dangers to homeowners and anyone working to install, remove, or dispose of mineral wool as a building insulation material. New mineral wool factories sparked protests in France and the United States, drawing attention to yet another set of issues, this time concerning the health dangers for individuals who live close to mineral wool producers. Easy access to replacement insulating materials is also anticipated to restrain market expansion. The eco-friendly insulation alternative on the market is cellulose spray, which contains 85% recycled material. It is the most environmentally friendly insulation alternative and is made from recycled paper goods, primarily newspaper. Even the smallest spaces could accommodate its tiny, fibrous components.
