Market Synopsis -
Foam glass is a porous glass foam material that offers lightweight, high strength, and excellent acoustic and thermal insulation. Foam glass is manufactured using recycled glass, which makes it an eco-friendly product, adding to its market value, especially in developed countries. Foam glass is used extensively in refineries, shipbuilding, cryogenic, and chemical technologies.
Pricing Analysis
The price of foam glass depends on its application and requirement of end-use, for instance, the price varies according to different of thickness, length, and width of foam glass. Such as foam glass price with (65 Thickness x 100Width x 450Length (mm)) was around USD 159.04 slap whereas (140 Thickness x 215 Width x 450Length (mm)) was around USD 133 per slap. Thus, the foam glass price varies from a range of USD 181.38 to USD 272.07 cubic meter depending on its sizes.
Market USP-
Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
Market Drivers-
- Increase in manufacturing industries is accelerating the application of foam glass in equipment’s and machines
- Growing demand for use in commercial infrastructure, especially in developing nations
- Supporting government regulation and Long service life of foam glass
Market Restraints -
- High installation cost of foam glass is high owing to its fragile nature
By Type
- Open-cell: Open cell foam glass commands a smaller market share due to its niche applicability. Open-cell foam glass is used primarily as an excellent acoustic dampener and is noncombustible. It is also be recycled indefinitely. It is very fragile and has high porosity, which limits its applications. Open-cell foam glass is usually made by treating closed-cell foam glass, a fact which ensures that this segment will always be smaller than the closed-cell segment.
- Closed-cell: This is the largest market within the segment and is used extensively for heat insulation and sound insulation. It is also moisture-proof. The use of closed-cell foam glass in heating ducts reduces heat loss by approximately 25%.
By End-Use
- Industrial: The fastest-growing segment within this market, industries benefit from the use of foam glass to prevent heat dampening, chemical corrosion and ensure deep cooling. Primarily the petroleum industry and the chemical industry find utility for foam glass. It is also used to dampen the sound of heavy machinery although it is somewhat susceptible to vibrations.
- Building & Infrastructure: A large segment within this market, foam glass is used to provide heat and sound insulation in buildings. It has a very long service life, though installation is a little tricky due to foam glass’s fragility, when compared to its alternatives.
Europe has the largest share of the global foam glass industry, and the market domination over the expected period is predicted to continue. We expect Europeans like Norway , Sweden and Germany to take the lead in the region's foam glass industry. The the demand for environmentally friendly insulating materials across various end-use industries is expected to stimulate growth on the regional foam glass market. Europe held the largest share of the foam glass market and it is predicted that this trend will continue over the forecast period.
The leading Foam glass manufacturers are Owens UUSIOAINES OY, Glapor , MISAPOR (Switzerland), Polydros S.A, Refaglass, Zhejiang Zhenshen Insulation Technology Corp., Earthstone international, and Anhui Huichang New Material Co., Ltd..These players adopted key growth strategies from 2014 to 2019, which helped them increase their capacities and cater to the widening customer base. Owens Corning (US) is one of the market leaders on foam glass. The company is involved in the production of foam glass and is also the producer of the same. The company has broad geographic reach covering APAC, Middle East & Africa, North America , and Europe.
