Insulation Demand Surging

U.S. demand for insulation is Projected to rise 7 .6Vo annually to $10.3 billion in 2Ol7 , according to a new Freedonia Group forecast.

Growth will be driven bY an increase in construction spending from a low2Ol2 base. Gains will also be boosted by changes in building codes and construction practices that call for structures to use energy more efficiently. Such measures as the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and themost recent Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design codes-LEEDv4-will spur the addition of more insulation to reduce energy consumPtion.

The residential market is forecast to post double-digit insulation demand advances through 2017, sPurred bY a strong rebound in housing starts. Not only will more houses be erected, but builders will install more insulation per structure in order to comply with the2Ol2IECC.

Residential insulation demand will also be supported by homeowners attemptingto lower utility bills by adding insulation to attics and walls and sealing gaps to prevent air leaks.

Demand for insulation in the nonresidential market will see solid growth through 2017, sPurred bY strong advances in construction. Further gains will come from rising interest in green building practices, such as those put forth bY the LEED rating system, that call for the use of more insulation with higher R-values.

Fiberglass accounted for 477o of insulation demand by value in 2012. Fiberglass will remain the market leader in 2011 , with demand reaching $5.0 billion.Its low cost, insulative properties, fire resistance, and ease of installation make it popular among both professionals and d-i-Yers.

Demand for foamed plastic insulation, which accounted for the second largest share of the market in 2012, is forecast togrow to $4.6 billion in 20 17. These materials are used more extensively in nonresidential, due to their high R-value.

However, the residential market will offer solid growth prospects going forward, as code changes that call for houses to be better sealed to prevent air leaks will boost the use of these products, in spite of their higher costs than fiberglass insulation.

Foamed plastics are well suited for sealing hard-to-reach areas, such as crawl spaces and between walls.
