The report “Acoustic Insulation Market by Material (Glass Wool, Rock Wool, Foamed Plastic, Elastomeric Foam), End-Use Industry (Building & Construction, Transportation, Oil & Gas, Energy & Utilities, Industrial & OEM), and Region – Global Forecast to 2029″, is projected to reach USD 20.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.8% from USD 16.2 billion in 2024. Acoustic insulation is very crucial for dampening noise and enhancing acoustic comfort in residential, non-residential, and transportation sectors. This market is driven by several key factors such as rapid urbanization and the development of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings have increased the demand for effective sound insulation solutions. For instance, India’s building & construction industry is growing very rapidly to meet the demand the of growing population. It is estimated that the, India will reach a peak population of 1.64 billion people by 2048, with about more than 50% living in urban areas. This means that there will be an significant demand for sound insulation products.

Driver: Rising health issues associated with noise pollution.
Noise pollution has interfered with the lives of persons right from the earliest stages of industrialization in the late 18th century. It is approved that prolonged exposure can cause various health effects, both physical and mental. The complications that stem from high noise levels include hypertension, heart attacks, and NIHL which originates from persistently high noise exposure. On its part, the World Health Organization states that noise levels above 55 decibels are hazardous to one’s cardiovascular health. The effect of noise pollution is on disruption of sleep hence resulting to more cases of insomnia, always feeling tired, and a suppressed immune system. Cognitively, the constant noise can elevate the stress and anxiety levels while the quality-of-life decreases. According to European Environment Agency (EEA) around 20% of Europe’s population is exposed to dangerous noise levels. Furthermore, according to recent EEA data, environmental noise causes 12,000 premature deaths and more than 48,000 new cases of ischemic heart disease annually. Furthermore, 6.5 million individuals experience severe sleep disturbances, and 22 million people experience chronic high discomfort.

“Glass wool type is the largest type of the acoustic insulation, in terms of value.”
Glass wool is a very effective material . It is widely used due to its versatility and superior acousti performance. Made from recycled glass and sand, glass wool is made up of very thin fibers woven together in a manner that provides a large surface area, which is effective in capturing sound waves and thus minimizing sound transfer. This material is light and can be installed in any of the building parts including the walls, ceilings, and floors for residential, non-residential use. Besides its acoustic benefits, it also provides thermal insulation, contributing to energy efficiency in buildings. Its non-combustible nature and moisture resistance further enhance its appeal as a safe and durable insulation solution.
“Europe captures the largest share in the acoustic insulation market during the forecast period, in terms of value.”
The stringent regulatory framework on noise pollution and energy efficiency in Europe drives the widespread adoption of advanced insulation materials. Environmental Noise Directive and building regulations, mandate strict noise control measures in residential, non-residential settings, compelling builders and developers to incorporate highly effective sound insulation solutions. Additionally, Europe has a mature building & construction industry with a strong emphasis on sustainability and green building practices, which further promotes the use of acoustic insulation that also offers thermal benefits. The high population density in urban areas exacerbates noise pollution, increasing the demand for soundproofing solutions to enhance the quality of life. Furthermore, Europe’s strong automotive and aerospace industries require advanced acoustic materials to meet stringent noise emission standards, contributing significantly to the market.
