The pipe insulation market size is projected to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.4% from an estimated USD 8.7 billion in 2018. The growing demand for district energy systems is projected to drive the demand for pipe insulation in all regions. In addition, the necessity to insulate pipelines to save energy is another reason driving the pipe insulation market. The growing production of oil in countries such as the US, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Russia is also fueling the growth of the pipe insulation market. Rapid industrialization in APAC, especially in China and India, is another factor driving the demand for pipe insulation materials in industrial plants.

The rockwool material type segment of the market is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
Based on material type, the rockwool material type segment is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of value, between 2018 and 2023. This is because rockwool is a naturally renewable and sustainable material. It is also a fire-resistant material and hence can be used for both hot and cold pipework. It also has high compression resistance and can fit properly in a pipe section. In addition, it helps in condensation control and is a noise dampener.
