The global North America building thermal insulation market size is expected to reach USD 11.72 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth can be attributed to growth in construction activities in North America.

Building thermal insulation systems are expected to gain wide acceptance owing to its several benefits such as lightweight materials, improved external appearance, and acoustic performance of the buildings. Site-built homes qualify for the credit if they are certified to reduce energy consumption during heating and cooling by 50%, relative to the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), 2006, and meet minimum efficiency standards set by the Department of Energy.

Increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings, owing to the stringent government regulations and rising awareness regarding environmental degradation, is anticipated to fuel the demand for thermal insulation for residential, non-residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Favorable government policies coupled with increasing awareness among consumers are expected to remain the key driving factor for the growth of the building thermal insulation market in North America.

The government initiatives are inclusive of labor training and monetary aid are likely to propel the industry growth. Moreover, favorable building codes in the U.S. and Canada coupled with the establishment of energy certification agencies such as LEED and the U.S. Green Building Council are expected to have a positive influence on market growth.

Increasing investments in energy-efficient systems is projected to benefit the building thermal insulation system in North America over the forecast period. In addition, a rise in disposable income among consumers across the globe is projected to propel the expansion of the construction industry, thereby driving the building thermal insulation market.

The growing awareness related to energy conservation is projected to have a significant impact on the demand for energy-efficient buildings and is likely to benefit the industry growth in the forecast period. A rise in spending capacities among the people is projected to benefit the growth of the construction industry, thereby benefiting the building thermal insulation market.

The North America thermal insulation market is characterized by the presence of a large number of raw material suppliers that promotes price negotiation and quantity among the buyers. Additionally, the manufacturers and installers are dependent on the buyers due to the increase in infrastructural spending coupled with stringent government regulations with respect to energy efficiency. Moreover, the presence of multiple well-established and small-scale manufacturers is projected to allow buyers to bargain over the prices.

The presence of a large number of manufacturers in North America on the account of growing demand for building thermal insulation across the globe is estimated to intensify the market competition. Moreover, the expansion of the construction industry coupled with the implementation of energy-efficient codes is projected to further result in high competition.
