What are the sectors in the building insulation industry?
In recent years, China’s insulation industry—encompassing wall insulation, exterior wall insulation, pipeline insulation, cold-storage insulation, and other related applications—has experienced rapid growth. Insulation engineering has become an indispensable component of the modern construction sector, and its continued development is both an inevitable trend and a significant opportunity for the advancement and expansion of new materials.
As the thermal insulation industry continues to grow, related sectors are also experiencing robust expansion—most notably the rapid advancement of pipe insulation materials. Polyurethane insulation has long been the material of choice for pipe insulation, and this reputation is well-deserved. Moreover, polyurethane insulation solutions excel not only in pipeline applications but also deliver outstanding performance in cold-storage insulation, wall insulation, and exterior-wall insulation. In particular, spray-applied polyurethane foam has proven highly effective in roofing waterproofing systems.
In recent years, despite adverse factors such as energy shortages and rising raw-material prices, China’s thermal-insulation-materials industry has nonetheless maintained an annual growth rate of over 16%. According to statistics, the total consumption of six major types of thermal-insulation materials—glass wool, rock wool, EPS insulation boards, XPS, polyurethane, and phenolic foam—has approached 2.5 million tonnes, with actual sales revenue nearing RMB 30 billion. As the number of thermal-insulation projects continues to grow, the thermal-insulation-materials and equipment-manufacturing industries are entering a new phase of rapid expansion.

In summary, it is evident that the insulation engineering sector—primarily encompassing pipeline insulation, cold-storage insulation, wall insulation, and exterior-wall insulation—and the associated insulation-materials industry together represent a vast market within the building-insulation industry. It is believed that, as the building-insulation market continues to develop in a healthier and more rapid manner, both upstream and downstream sectors will achieve mutual benefit, thereby making greater contributions to overall market growth.
