Active Insulation Market Size To Reach $421.8 Billion By 2030

Active Insulation Market Growth & Trends

The global active insulation market size is estimated to reach USD 421.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for insulation products to maintain the inner temperature in building structures is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing re-insulation activities under-insulated houses to save energy are further expected to support the growth.

The growing popularity of outdoor activities such as cycling, sports, workouts, and yoga are likely to ascend the demand for activewear and sportswear. This, in turn, is projected to support the market. Commercial availability of active insulating products coupled with their benefits including resistance to shrinking, stretching, and quick-drying are expected to aid the growth.

Increasing energy costs and growing consumer awareness regarding the economic benefits of building insulation are expected to have a positive impact on the market. Utilization of building insulation products such as glass wool and mineral wool is likely to accelerate in the estimated time owing to their benefits including easy installation, fireproof, and recyclable property.

Europe appeared as the largest regional segment with a share of 36.4% of the total market volume share in 2024. Favorable government regulations supporting the use of active insulation in building structures have benefitted the market in Europe. Increasing the production of sportswear and activewear in countries like China and India are likely to aid the market in the Asia Pacific.
