Summary
The increasing demand for energy-saving and environment-friendly technology is driving the growth of the global phase change material (PCM) market. The global PCM market is expected to grow from $300.8 million in 2009 to $1,488.1 million in 2015, at an estimated CAGR of 31.7% from 2010 to 2015. The paraffin-based PCM market commands the largest share of the overall PCM market in terms of value, while salt hydrate-based PCMs lead the market in terms of volume.
PCMs offer tremendous potential to fulfill the growing energy needs for cooling and heating applications across various industries, including construction, commercial refrigeration, textiles, and packaging. The use of the passive PCM technology is expected to boost the global efforts to conserve energy in the wake of fast depleting fossil fuels. However, effective integration of PCMs in end-products remains a challenging task.
Building and construction currently forms the largest application market due to the globally increasing demand for cooling buildings, which in turn has arisen due to the shift from heavy thermal mass design to lightweight architecture. While this application contributed 22% to the global PCM market revenues in 2009, textile applications are expected to have the highest CAGR of 38.5% from 2010 to 2015.
Europe offers a lucrative market to PCM players because of its focus on energy security and therefore holds the largest share 42.2% of the global PCM market. Currently, the market players are focusing in development of new products and applications, which therefore accounted for the highest share of the total competitive developments in the global PCM market from 2007 to May 2010.
Industry participants with the most significant product developments include BASF, Honeywell, Outlast Technologies, and Samsung. Industry participants with the most significant product developments include BASF, Honeywell, Outlast Technologies, and Samsung. BASF and Outlast are also collaborating with universities to conduct R&D on advanced PCMs in an attempt to increase market penetration of the PCM products.
