Air Barrier Market, By Product Type (Gypsum Board, Drywall, Plywood, Oriented Strand Board, Spray Foam, Fiberglass, Cellulose), By Type (Membranes, Coatings, External), By Region – Global Analysis Forecast Till 2030

The Global Air Barrier Market size was estimated at USD 16.1 Billion in 2021 and is expected to hit around USD 23.2 Bn by 2030, projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

The purpose of an air barrier is to preserve clean, pure air. These air barriers are made based on the size of the contaminants that are wanted to be eliminated, from huge dust particles to microorganisms. Polyethylene foam is a widely used air barrier that is simple to instal, but advances in the industry have resulted in the creation of advanced air filters that can remove even the smallest of unwanted particles while maintaining the other elements of air in tact.

The need for air barriers has increased in the modern world. They are necessary to bridge across potential toxins in addition to blocking out the ever-increasing air pollution. This has been demonstrated by the present COVID-19 outbreak. Viral filtering technologies keep enclosed spaces clear of this contamination. As a result, since the beginning of this year, demand in the air barrier industry has skyrocketed.

Market Dynamics

Drivers:

Materials called air barriers can serve as an envelop to limit the movement of air inside of buildings. Air barrier systems are frequently utilised to manage issues brought on by air infiltration and exfiltration in structures. In order to shield building occupants from pollution, pathogens, and allergens, the air barrier industry has developed. In some vital facilities, it is now essential to maintain a strong air barrier around the clock. Air barrier systems are being sought after more and more in buildings like hospitals and laboratories in order to preserve the effectiveness of the HVAC systems and, eventually, infection control, which is driving the air barrier market.

If that is not done, patients and healthcare professionals may face grave hazards. This is a major factor in the market for air barriers that is fueling prospective directions.

Restraints:

As fuel and chemical prices are affecting many other market segments, the fluctuating price of crude oil, which can change by $60 per barrel in a year, is becoming a major problem for the Air Barrier business.

A significant obstacle to comprehending and assessing the Air Barrier market scenario is the uneven recovery in various end markets and regions.

Opportunity:

Manufacturers are concentrating on the use and advancement of manufacturing techniques in line with the trend toward sustainability to enable the production of environmentally friendly insulating materials. The market for natural and environmentally friendly insulation is therefore expected to continue being quite alluring over the forecast period. Due to their higher recycled content and superior eco-friendliness, insulation materials like cellulose and fibreglass are favoured.

The most frequent materials used to make cellulose insulation are recycled newsprint, cardboard, or other types of waste paper, whereas blown fibreglass insulation with a 40% to 60% recycled glass content is gaining popularity in the global air barrier market.

It is anticipated that this will improve demand for air barriers and encourage producers to increase the supply of the material they are producing.

Regional Analysis:

The extreme cold climate, strict regulations, fast urbanisation, and growing awareness of cost-effective and energy-efficient green buildings have made the USA and Canada the growth engines of the North American market. As industrial activity is outsourced to other parts of the world, this market may be hampered by a decline in local pollution levels.

In the upcoming years, the Asia Pacific region (APAC) is anticipated to have fastest market growth. This is due to the region's strong industrial base, which has turned it into the world's manufacturing hub. Air barriers will be necessary in these regions when local pollution levels grow. People are becoming more aware of personal care needs, and given how badly COVID-19 has affected these regions, these two factors will work in concert to drive this market's growth going forward.
