Synthèse

The global insulation market, estimated at $58 billion in 2021, is set to grow steadily, with an expected annual growth rate of 6.5% between 2022 and 2030, potentially reaching $102 billion by the end of the decade. This growth is partly fuelled by the simultaneous expansion of the construction market, which is also expected to grow at an annual rate of 6.5%. Insulation demand is split relatively evenly between new construction projects (around 47% in 2020) and renovation work (around 53% in 2020), with a significant proportion of the latter being driven by incentives and incentives for new construction.a significant proportion of the latter is driven by government incentives and regulations aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings. In particular, the Asia-Pacific region will lead the market for insulation materials in 2021. In France, the thermal insulation market grew by 18% between 2012 and 2021, despite a decline in 2020 due to the Covid-19 crisis. The French insulation market is particularly benefiting from government incentives for renovation, and ecological and bio-sourced materials are gaining in popularity in the sector.

The main players are materials manufacturers such as Knauf and Rockwool, as well as specialist installers such as Isocomble and Isorenov. What's more, the French market is adapting to trends in housing starts, which serve as an indicator of future demand for insulation, with a rebound expected in 2021 after a previous decline in housing starts.

Dynamic trajectory of the insulation sector in the context of the housing and renovation markets

Looking at recent trends in the insulation market in the country concerned, it is clear that the sector is on a dynamic growth trajectory, driven by factors encompassing both construction and renovation activities. The market comprises a wide variety of players, from raw material suppliers to installers working directly with end-customers. Given the urgency of energy efficiency and the energy transition, insulation has become a crucial element in new construction and building renovations.

The market has seen a marked increase in demand over the years. The building insulation market grew by around 18% between the early 2010s and the early 2020s. This upward trend reflects both initiatives to boost energy efficiency in the residential sector and the prosperity of the construction industry. While the market experienced a slowdown due to the Covid-19 crisis, a rapid recovery has been observed, driven by financial incentives such as the MaPrimeRénov' initiative and an increase in the number of new housing starts. As far as household demand for renovation is concerned, public authorities seem intent on meeting the challenge posed by the millions of under-insulated homes. Renovation projects are aimed not only at reducing the environmental impact, but also at improving the profitability for homeowners in terms of heating costs. Over a period of two to three years, more than 5 million households have undertaken renovation work, a significant percentage of which is aimed at raising their energy class. Public buildings and commercial property, including offices and catering facilities in need of energy renovation, present many opportunities for the insulation sector.

However, market optimism is tempered by challenges, such as the downward trend in housing starts, which potentially threatens demand. The number of housing starts is expected to affect insulation demand, which is generally seen within six months to two years of the start of construction. Ambitious government targets to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector have catalyzed demand for insulation. Interventions such as financial assistance programs and strict regulations on insulation standards for new homes are supporting market demand. On the other hand, the potential increase in taxes on renovation work, which could affect maintenance and improvement activities, is a risk factor likely to slow market dynamics.

If we look at the segmentation of the insulation market, we see that construction and renovation projects are roughly evenly distributed. Insulation distribution leans significantly towards attics and roofs, followed by interior and exterior walls. It's important to note that the market size indicators are taken from the study "Insulation Titans and Innovative Challengers: A spotlight on market leaders and niche players in the insulation industry."

Navigating the sprawling landscape of the insulation market, one encounters both titans whose names evoke dominance and innovators who blaze new trails with their specialized services.

When it comes to manufacturing insulation materials, the market benefits from the presence of international giants such as Saint-Gobain and Knauf. Not only are these companies omnipresent in multiple insulation material segments, they also dwarf much of the competition thanks to their size and extensive product ranges.

While these giants meet a wide range of insulation needs with their range of solutions, other market players have carved out distinct niches for themselves through strategic specialization.

  • Isocomble, a Group subsidiary, has decided to focus on blow-in attic insulation. Its meticulous attention to this field has earned it a reputation for expertise, leading it to expand its presence with some forty branches across the country, most of which operate on the franchise model.

In the same vein of market ingenuity, we find brands that prefer the concession model to the franchise model.

  • Tryba, a leading French brand in the distribution of insulating windows and doors, has adopted this approach. This model has enabled it to cultivate a substantial network of over 300 dealers. By providing each dealer with an exclusive territorial operating area, without training or know-how transfer, Tryba has successfully expanded its business while maintaining quality control and brand reputation.

These key players, with their varied approaches to market domination and niche specialization, form the backbone of a mature yet dynamic industry. Saint-Gobain and Knauf provide the backbone of the insulation fabric, offering solutions for almost any construction or renovation scenario. For their part, Isocomble and Tryba provide finer details, responding to specific customer needs with tailor-made services and products. Together, they illustrate the competitive and diversified nature of the insulation market, highlighting the multiple avenues open to companies wishing to establish their position in this sector.

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of study

Insulation is a set of techniques with a dual purpose:

  • Acousticallyprotect the interior of the home from outside influences;
  • Toconserve heat and improve the interior's thermal energy balance;

The market can be divided into two markets: insulation materials and insulation work.

The market is structured between suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers of insulating materials, specifiers, distributors and, finally, installers who work with end customers. The market is driven by new housing starts, but also by renovation. It's a dynamic market worldwide, with an average annual growth rate of 6. 5% between 2022 and 2030.

In France, the insulation market is at the heart of current concerns, as it is a pillar of the energy transition. Every year, the building sector emits over 123 million tonnes of CO2. It is therefore one of the major challenges of the coming years. In 2023, nearly 5 million homes will still be in a situation of fuel poverty.

In 2021, 45 million cubic meters of insulation were installed, a figure up on 2019 and set to continue growing in the years to come.

In recent years, government policy has offered consumers a wide range of financial incentives, including tax deductions and zero-rate eco-loans (see Regulations section). The building insulation market has been boosted by these government efforts, and in particular by the use of bio-sourced materials in a dual response to environmental challenges.

Players in this market include manufacturers of insulating materials, such as market leaders Knauf and Rockwool, as well as installers who carry out innovative insulation work in buildings and homes, such as Isocomble and Isorenov.
