Global Insulated Concrete Form Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global insulated concrete form market

Research analysis on the global insulated concrete form (ICF) market identifies that the rise in passive house construction will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market.  Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of 11% by 2021. Passive house is the leading low-energy European building technology and is one of the most economical solutions for working environments. The technology keeps the occupants warm all year without using any active heating or cooling systems. The passive house is a construction standard for buildings that includes high levels of insulation, with lesser thermal bridging, very low air-leakage throughout the building, mechanical ventilation with efficient heat recovery, and utilization of passive solar gain. The focus of passive house standards in a building is to develop a thermal covering that uses free heat gains to minimize the users' space heating requirements. These need to meet standards fuel the need for ICFs in the construction industry.

According to our insulated concrete form market research report, the rise in sustainable and resilent buildings with the utilization of ICFs will be one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of this market. Owners and occupants of ICF buildings constantly enjoy benefits such as the living comfort, noise reduction, energy efficiency, and resilience or insurance discounts. Insurance companies provide numerous incentives for the owners of resilient buildings for reducing environmental risks such as greenhouse gas emissions. These incentives offer substantial savings for building owners when compared to traditional construction.
