IC Press Release

Turnover on Insulation Increased by Over 16% in the DACH Region

The market for insulation materials in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) picked up again last year after a pandemic-related decline in 2020 and, in terms of volume, almost reached the pre-crisis level with 46.8 million cubic metres. This year, sales will increase by a further 5%, as a new study by Interconnection Consulting shows.

Overall, the turnover volume in the DACH region rose by 16.7% last year, also caused by price increases. Driven by EU regulations and government incentives, the market for insulation materials will continue to flourish in the coming years. After all, 40% of total energy consumption and 35% of total greenhouse gas emissions are caused by buildings. Switzerland in particular will see strong growth in the coming years. The Interconnection forecast assumes that the growth rate in Switzerland will be 5.5% per year until 2025. The growth forecast is somewhat lower in Austria (3.9%) and Germany (3.6%). Overall, Germany is by far the largest market with a share of about 80% or a market volume of 2.7 billion euros (Austria 11%, Switzerland 9%).

Mineral Wool in Strong Demand

Mineral wool dominates the market in the DACH region even more than in the rest of Europe with a share of 55.6%. Polystyrene follows at a respectable distance with 27.2%. PUR/PIR (polyurethane/polyiso rigid foam) shows the highest growth rates, but with a volume share of 8.7% it is still a niche product.

Renovation Instead of New Construction

Just under half of the sales are used for walls (43.5%), followed by ceilings with about one third of the sales and floors with 12%. The most important sales segment is residential construction with a share of almost three quarters (73.3%). While new construction predominates in Europe as a whole, the renovation sector is just ahead in the DACH region with 51.6% in 2021. Important companies in the European market are (alphabetically): Austrotherm, Baumit, Knauf, Weber.
