“Superior fire-proof and insulation properties of foam glass are expected to drive the global foam glass market during the forecast period.”

The foam glass market is estimated at 1,503 kilotons in 2019 and is projected to reach 1,964 kilotons by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2019and 2024.Foam glass exhibits good fire resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and slight weight and biocompatible. These properties make ita preferred material in end-use industries such as industrial, residential and commercial construction, consumer abrasive, pharmaceutical, packaging, and shipbuilding. Increasing demand from these end-use industries is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

“Industrial end-use is expected to register the highest CAGR in the global foam glass market during the forecast period.”

The industrial end-use segment is projected to witness the highest growth in the foam glass market. The industrial use of foam glass includes as a material for fire-proofing petrochemical tanks, insulating hot and cold tanks, insulating cryogenic tanks, and piping insulation of chemical processing systems. It is fire-resistant, water-resistant, and possesses high load-bearing capability. Also, it is corrosion-resistant. It makes it suitable for insulating cryogenic systems of LNG and LPG pipelines. The market for foam glass in industrial segment is in the nascent stage and is expected to grow in the coming years.

“The building & industrial insulation application is expected to drive the foam glass market.”

Among the foam glass applications, building & industrial insulation is projected to grow at the fastest during the forecast period. Foam glass serves as an excellent insulating material for both commercial and non-commercial buildings. It provides additional safety from fire; this makes it suitable for use in industries, especially in petrochemical factories that are susceptible to fire.
