Global Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Market by Product (Polyurethane Foam, Cement-Bonded Wood Fiber, Polystyrene Foam) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global insulated concrete form market (ICF) was valued at USD 815.5 Million in 2020. It is expected to increase at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 4.7%) between 2020 and 2028. Due to their superior thermal insulation properties, insulated concrete forms are expected to be more popular in temperate regions such as North America and Europe.
Market growth is further expected to be triggered by the lightweight, high-strength, and durability of insulated concrete forms. The increasing demand for insulated concrete forms in both residential and commercial applications is due to their ease of installation and moldability.
The U.S. market is expected to grow due to increased demand for concrete forms in the residential construction segment. It is safe to use in severe wind loads like hurricanes and tornadoes. Over the forecast period, the number of tropical storms in the country will increase and consumers will be more inclined to choose insulated concrete forms.
Due to increasing natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, the demand for disaster-resistant construction will increase. This will have a positive effect on the market for insulated concrete forms. ICF is also resistant to corrosion, decay, and pest attacks unlike wooden construction.
ICF constructions can offer monthly cost savings for users by reducing utility bills and insurance premiums. This insulation is also known for its quietness and acoustical qualities, which will drive its popularity in hospitals, nursing homes, and commercial complexes.
To reduce construction times, key players in the market for pre-built concrete forms are focused on product development. These products will also be more popular if they are made using improved production technology to increase their durability and strength.
Product Insights
The largest market share for insulation concrete forms made of polystyrene foam material was in 2020. This is due to their superior thermal insulation value, lightweight and low cost. Because of their light weight, high mechanical properties, dimensional stability and thermal insulation, expanded polystyrene styrene foams have a wide range of uses.
From 2020 to 2028, the demand for polystyrene foam based ICFs will grow at 4.9%. The increased use of insulated concrete forms in construction has been due to their excellent chemical and shock resistance properties.
In 2020, the market share for insulated concrete forms made from polyurethane was second. Product demand is expected to rise due to growing demand for versatile and energy-efficient insulation in commercial and residential buildings. The demand for ICF products made from polyurethane will continue to rise due to the rising demand for foundations and rigid walls.
Because of their high thermal performance and R-values of 28 and higher, cement-bonded wood fibers have been widely accepted for construction of commercial and residential structures. The ICF market is expected to grow in the future due to increased demand for high-value insulation material that can be used for modern commercial constructions.
Application Insights
The largest revenue share, 64.6%, was attributed to residential construction in 2020. Due to rising electricity bills and the increasing use of heaters and air conditioners in developed countries, wall structures that have a thermal barrier are needed. Insulated concrete forms will see significant demand during the forecast period.
The non-residential segment of construction is expected to grow at 4.3% CAGR between 2020 and 2028. The growth of the construction sector will likely be driven by the increasing number of restaurants, hotels and hospitals as well as educational buildings. Market growth will be influenced by rising product penetration in construction.
The market is expected to grow due to favorable growth in residential construction around the world and increased investments by public-private partnerships. The growth of residential constructions is supported by the growing urbanization and lifestyle improvements.
ICF houses are simple to build because they are lightweight and easy to use. They are lightweight and easy to build. The ICF market will benefit from the increased efforts of manufacturers to provide guidelines for their customers to setup these systems.
Regional Insights
North America was the dominant market in 2020, with a 36.3% revenue share. This trend will likely continue for the forecast period. Due to increased consumer awareness about the benefits of insulated concrete forms, there has been a high product penetration in the U.S. market and Canada.
The U.S. residential sector is seeing significant growth due to substantial new construction and renovations. The major building material in the U.S. has been wood. Wooden houses can be susceptible to fungal attack and decay due to moisture. The market for insulated concrete forms will see a rise in demand for innovative raw materials to overcome these problems.
Industry growth is expected to be driven by the acceptance of ICF products early and the growing demand for green building solutions. The Green Building Program of the European Commission, which aims to improve the energy efficiency of both residential and non-residential buildings across Europe, is expected to encourage the development of insulated concrete forms.
Asia Pacific will see the fastest growth rate at 5.8% between 2020 and 2028 due to the growing penetration of ICF blocks within the commercial construction segment. Due to the rising popularity of modern and green constructions, Japan and China accounted for the largest share of the product consumption.
Market Share Insights & Key Companies
