Report Overview

The Acoustic Insulation Materials Market size is expected to be worth around USD 24,722.8 million by 2032 from USD 13,936 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.

The global acoustic insulation materials market growth key factors will be impacted by the rising standards of living, increasing awareness about noise pollution, and growing health awareness levels. Noise barriers are essential because it has been proven that the level of noise in the workplace can have an impact on efficiency and human health.

There has been a steady increase in the use of acoustic insulation products on highways, roads, buildings, factories, airports, and other public spaces. This is due to the increasing importance placed on improving the infrastructure for a comfortable and peaceful environment. Market growth factors are also being driven by stricter energy efficiency and fire safety regulations around the world.

Global Acoustic Insulation Market Scope:

Product Type Analysis:

The comprehensive analysis of the product’s major factor market segmentation is further categorized into glass wool, rock wool, foamed plastic, and other product types. Foamed plastics can be easily injected into small spaces of walls or ceilings and provides better noise insulation than closed-cell. Its industry growth key trends will be limited by the high price of this product development. This industry’s revenue growth is expected to be led by the plastic foams sub-segment over the forecast period. Foamed plastic is expected to be the largest market segment with 36% of total revenues over the forecast period. This sub-segment is also projected to index a CAGR of 3.6% over the forecast period.

Stone wool (Rock/Mineral wool), is expected to be the fastest growing product launch in the future due to its high fire protection, sound absorption, thermal insulation, eco-stability, and environmental-friendly properties. It is made by spinning a molten stream from rock, steel furnace waste, and other recycled materials. It is used extensively in residential wood construction activities and steel stud partitions for interior walls. Fiberglass is a glass wool product made from glass. The fibers are spun into fibers, then rolled into sheets with a binding agent.

For greater strength, high resilience, and thermal and acoustic materials with solution properties, thin layers are combined to form a larger sheet. It is best known for the insulation of ceilings in residential buildings. A growing focus on improving public smart infrastructure in order to provide a comfortable and peaceful environment for all public places has resulted in greater use of the acoustic insulation market products throughout highways, construction sites, and industries as well as other public buildings. The market growth is also being driven by stricter fire safety and energy efficiency policies around the globe.

Application Analysis:

Application Insights Non-residential dominated the market, accounting for more than 55.0% of the total terms revenue in 2020. Growing concern about employee comfort has led to a demand for noise-canceling material in commercial buildings. This is due to the increasing demand for commercial and industrial infrastructural activities all over the globe, and the increasing demand from entertainment, such as music studios, and corporate entertainment. Workplaces, auditoriums, and cinema halls. There is a growing demand for noise-canceling material in commercial buildings due to employee comfort. Due to rising construction demand and a growing middle class, the residential market will continue to grow. A growing awareness of health issues like hearing impairments or heart disease is driving the market analysis.

End-Use Analysis:

It is believed that the building & construction industry will experience the greatest penetration of acoustic padding insulation materials. Due to the high cost of insulation, there is a strong demand in this industry. The building & construction industry has been severely impacted as a direct result of recent economic slowdowns in the U.S. and Europe and is still struggling to recover. The forecast period will register a moderate rate of new structures in developed regions, which is expected to limit this segment’s growth.

Key Market Segments:

By Product Type

• Glass Wool
• Rock Wool
• Foamed Plastic
• Other Product Types

By End-Use Industry

• Automotive Sector
• Marine Sector
• Aerospace Sector
• Commercial Sector

Market Dynamics:

The demand for noise-canceling raw material prices in commercial buildings has increased due to growing concerns about employee comfort. A better standard of living is also likely to drive product demand in the residential construction segment to ensure a peaceful ambiance. Rock wool is a popular acoustic insulation product. It provides thermal, acoustic, and fire resistance, and easy installation. Due to its low cost, there has been a higher demand in developing nations for rock wool. The transportation industry will register an increase in demand, which is expected to subsequently drive product demand.

In the development of this industry size, regulations related to noise isolation and control play an important role. The EPA has established standards to limit noise generation in transportation and the sound isolation of buildings. Many countries within the European Union regulate noise levels in their airborne, appliance, and impact environments. Regulations are also enforced for the isolation from external noises. Different standards govern the sound generated by ships, airplanes, or automobiles.

Regional Analysis:

The Asia Pacific is believed to be the largest share region and was responsible for approximately 42% of global demand in 2022. This is a region of high potential because of its expanding transportation and building sectors. This region’s growth is expected to be driven by the growing manufacturing and transportation sectors over the next seven years. Europe has also registered remarkable penetrations of acoustic insulation materials. There are strict regulations for building acoustic isolation and noise control for transport and industrial equipment. Product penetration can be attributed to these strict regulations. The forecast period will register a regional growth slowdown due to the simmering down of the construction sector.
