Global Phase Change Materials Market 2024

The phase change materials (PCMs) market is experiencing growth due to various factors such as increased building and construction activities, a focus on energy conservation, urbanization trends, and advancements in phase change material technology. The market is expected to benefit from the emphasis on green construction practices, as phase change materials are used in buildings to achieve energy efficiency.

The paraffin phase change materials market, valued at USD 1,045 million in 2023, is projected to reach USD 2,813 million by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2% during the forecast period. Paraffin-based PCMs are widely utilized due to their advantageous properties, including chemical stability over multiple heating and freezing cycles, high heat of fusion, compatibility with most materials, and non-reactivity with encapsulation materials. Paraffin's ability to operate across a wide range of temperatures makes it suitable as an energy storage medium. Waxy solid paraffins, often used as paraffin-based PCMs, are known for their reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

The construction phase change materials market, valued at USD 715 million in 2023, is expected to reach USD 1,866 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.7% during the forecast period. The construction sector is a prominent user of phase change materials, and their adoption rate is anticipated to rise over time. In residential and commercial buildings, PCMs assist in regulating internal temperature by absorbing or releasing significant amounts of heat energy during the transition between solid and liquid states. The growing use of PCMs in building and construction applications is driven by their ability to store large amounts of energy as latent heat at a constant temperature, thereby minimizing temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the utilization of efficient energy materials like PCMs is crucial in reducing dependency on traditional energy sources, further driving market growth.

Europe currently leads the phase change materials market and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is primarily due to the presence of numerous phase change materials manufacturers in the region, including Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Climator Sweden AB, and Rubitherm Technologies GmbH, among others. The European market is driven by increased demand from diverse end-use applications, technological advancements, and stricter environmental regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These factors are anticipated to fuel the growth of the phase change materials market in Europe, which is estimated to reach USD 1,954 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
