Polymer Foams Versus Inorganic Insulation Battle for the Thermal Insulation Market Heats Up
Nov 23, 2006
LONDON -- Frost & Sullivan will host an exclusive interactive briefing on November 29, 2006, at 3 p.m. GMT, to provide manufacturers, distribution channels, end-users and other industry participants with an overview of the thermal insulation markets in Europe.
With building energy conservation regulations ever tightening, opportunities are abound for suppliers to the thermal insulation market in Europe. At the same time, the regulations do have the potential to alter the market landscape. Will one type of insulation material be preferred over another? Which materials are to benefit most from the current trend towards efficient building insulation?
These and more questions will be answered by Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Plastics & Polymers, Hariharan Ramasubramanian, in the course of the briefing. Especially suppliers to the polymer foam industry, polymer foam processors, and stonewool and rockwool producers will benefit from Mr. Ramasubramanian's elaborations.
"Rising energy costs and tightening building energy conservation regulations have increased the awareness among the general public for efficient household thermal insulation. Coupled with recovering construction activity in the main European economies, this will bode well for suppliers", observes Mr. Ramasubramanian. "At this point, it is quite interesting to study the impact this trend will have on the individual product types in the European market for thermal insulation."
