Growing demand for air barriers in residential construction: stringent regulations drive market growth

The latest study by Future Market Insights (FMI) suggests that the overall growth in the air barrier market size will be moderate during the forecast period, from 2022 to 2029. Witnessing the much-anticipated industry shift from traditionally preferred gypsum boards to the permanently superior spray foam, the global market value is expected to cross USD 16,932.8 million by the end of 2022.

The growing number of insulation system installations is driving demand for air barriers in the residential construction sector in particular. However, this demand is also set to grow significantly in the commercial and industrial sectors in the coming years. This increase in demand is attributed to increasingly stringent regulations and codes of practice in industrial construction, the report said.

The demand for air barriers has been growing at a steady pace over the past decade, due to stringent standards that force manufacturers to build energy-efficient walls. To maintain and strengthen their share of the air barrier market, players have begun to focus on developing new techniques and methods that are efficient, effective, and offer additional functionalities.

Key Findings – Air Barrier Market Research

• Increasingly stringent building codes and energy regulations are expected to have a positive impact on the long-term growth of the air barrier market.
• Energy resources are limited. Every unit saved is equivalent to every unit produced. This is where efficient insulating materials come into play.
• Several spray foam insulation manufacturers have developed environmentally friendly, innovative solutions that reduce the carbon footprint. Spray foam insulation is manufactured using a non-HCFC gas as a blowing agent.
  • For example, Icynene offers a 100% water-blown spray foam solution, i.e. without any synthetic blowing agents or ozone depleting substances, minimizing the overall global warming potential (GWP).
• The market for organic and natural air barriers is expected to remain very attractive during the forecast period. Insulation materials such as cellulose and fiberglass are preferred due to their higher recycled content and higher environmental friendliness.

The market landscape remains fairly consolidated

The global air barrier market is a fairly consolidated competitive landscape with a limited number of players dominating almost the entire air barrier manufacturing and supply scenario. High prices associated with raw materials, high production costs, and the established position of existing manufacturing companies will continue to pose significant challenges to potential new entrants in the global air barrier market.

On the other hand, smaller players operating in the air barrier sector will continue to invest in organic growth strategies such as acquisitions, collaborations, and joint ventures. One of the leading global players in the air barrier market profiled in the report is Owens Corning, which currently accounts for over 18% of the total market share.
