The vacuum insulation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the size of the vacuum insulation market has been recording significant growth. The market size is poised to increase from $10.07 billion in 2024 to $10.89 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
The expansion witnessed in the historical duration is largely linked to the surge in green building strategies, the endeavour to cut costs, the need for industrial insulation, the push for lightweighting in the automotive industry, and stricter energy efficiency regulations.
The vacuum insulation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the vacuum insulation market size to witness robust growth in the forthcoming years. Its size is projected to expand to $15.9 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%.
The expansion during the forecast period can be linked to the surge in sustainable construction, escalating demand for hvac efficiency, expansions in aerospace and automotive sectors, urbanisation, and infrastructure developments, as well as the improving awareness about climate change. The main trends for this forecast period encompass the integration of smart buildings, green building certifications, high-performance refrigeration, tailor-made vip solutions, and vacuum insulated glass (vig).
The surge in the use of vacuum insulation in cooling and freezing applications is predicted to stimulate the vacuum insulation market's expansion. The longevity of the cooling period for food is enhanced by using vacuum insulation in freezing applications. This insulation type is beneficial for the swift and secure refrigerated transportation of pharmaceuticals and medicines. For instance, Coolest Gadgets, a standalone digital magazine from the US, reported in September 2024 that refrigerators were the 72nd most traded product across the globe in 2022, registering a cumulative trade value of USD 62.5 billion, which represented 0.26% of the worldwide trade. The refrigerator trade exhibited a growth of 0.67% from 2021 to 2022. Therefore, the escalation in the usage of vacuum insulation in cooling and freezing applications propels the vacuum insulation market.
